We should be on our way to the beach by the time you read this, hopefully.
We have been planning on this all week, please do not let us get rained out today.
Oh and by the way, I don't mean this "beach" but an actual beach on a lake out of town.

It seems like every time we have tried to plan something recently it has rained or it has been
101 million degrees. Okay, maybe just 101* but it feels a lot worse than that.
So anyway, speaking of hot, we made ice cream sundaes and ice cream cones yesterday.
That was on our Summer List too, another one checked off...wooohooo!
Here's where The Grouchy Old Bat part comes in.
Almost every day, the moment we step outside, the neighbor kid sees us (often from inside his house) and immediately pops over...like within thirty seconds. Every single day.
And for those of you that don't know me in real life, I can be pretty anti-social...or am pretty anti-social in some instances. I admit it, I totally own that about myself.
When I am at home, I like kind of like my privacy, I am not big on guests showing up
with no notice at all. I mean, give me just five minutes, I will put a bra on, k?

But every day? Ummm...no thanks.
Even a kid I really, really like a whole lot I don't want over at my house every day.
Is that abnormal?

Here's the thing about this kid; he is not an easy-going kid, but a high maintenance kid.
He is an only child and kind of wants to do what he wants to do when he wants to do it.
He wants to play CSI every day. Every day. And in this house CSI would be considered a
"grown-up show" so my kids have no idea what he is even talking about.
Anyway, he is not a bad kid but it's just that I am not super social and it's the whole
every day thing that gets me...kinda drives me a bit crazy.

So yesterday we went out on the porch to make our ice cream sundaes and twenty seconds
later here he comes. I wanted to take a bunch of pictures of the kids and sit and eat our ice cream, quietly, just the three of us. Right then I think I might have caught a glimpse of the little old lady me,
griping about the neighbor kids and the paper boy and people cutting through my yard one day in the
future. Maybe that day isn't as far off as I thought it was though....
