Sappy Me

Well, this weekend was incredible. It would take a long time to break it all down so I will work on doing so on different days.

Our 4th of July was great and HOT as HELL. Just the way we’d always like it. lol We had fun on sea doo’s and the dune’s. We had the little dogs and the kids. Our friends new 5th wheel is truly incredible. But that wasn’t the best part.

Hubby and I connected in some ways we haven’t in a long time. Sure beer had been flowing, but you know what, we ran out quite early and we’d been pounding so much water as well because we worried about the heat.

We walked together to dump off some campsite garbage and just ended up talking about the life transition we are in. The kids are 13 (14 in couple of weeks) and 11. This campsite was really, super safe and we honestly didn’t have to worry about them. We made them stay together of course, but as long as they went around together it was just fine. They have a cell phone and they can get ahold of us faster than my over-bearing parents ever could. LOL

But everyone we were camping with is in a younger aspect. The next oldest from our 11 year old was a 6 year old. Yes, our kids had to work as sitters. That’s the oldest law. I’m an oldest, I should know. I had to watch many others kids when we had get-togethers. But these guys don’t live far away and the middle kid has a crush on our oldest, so I’m hoping she can get a babysitting job out of the deal See, Momma’s working on it.

Anyway…got totally sidetracked. SURPRISE! It was just how cool it is that we are in this transition and can enjoy it together. He’s helped me through a lot because it’s just odd not to be needed in the same way anymore. He helps me focus on the fact that it will be JUST us in a few years. Not that the kids will be gone, but the fact that I get him all to myself. YEP, I’m still selfish as hell and I look forward to that. Even though I know I will be so very sad that they have their totally separate lives, I am excited to have a life with just my best friend, hubby, and sexy man.
