I'm melting.....
This heat is atrocious. It's making us all crabby and short-tempered. I guess I can at least be thankful that it's not humid.
It's not getting any easier putting Mason down to sleep at night. He just draws it out and no matter how hard we try to stick to a routine, it doesn't work. "more bookies, more songs, more dinner day..." Luckily he's so damn cute or we'd throttle him. We don't know what to do anymore. I guess we go back to sleep training him and letting him cry it out. After the second time we just go in there, put him back in his bed and don't say anything. It's so hard to listen to him scream though...and I'm sure the whole neighborhood thinks so too. But it's not like we can close the windows.
We got to hang out with our new neighbors yesterday and it was a lot of fun. We really like them and are excited that they are due to have a baby in August. We have been really lucky the last few places we've lived - we've had some fantastic neighbors and we've managed to stay friends with all of them. It's really great. I'm looking forward to living here even more now.

Life
I haven't posted for awhile because I haven't really had anything good to say. There have been lots of bad things happening to really good people in my life and it's been hard to deal with. And I don't want everything I write about to be negative.
So on a good note, I just found out my friend Diane is pregnant and due next March. This is really exciting news because she and her husband have been trying for some time to have a second child and we are all so happy for her.
Wolf and I were talking yesterday about how we may not lead exciting lives and me may not be rich but all in all we lead a very charmed and happy life. Yes, bad things happen, but good ones do too. I look at our beautiful children and all of his beautiful friends and I thank the powers that be that we have been allowed to have the privilege of raising, nurturing and loving them.
I was just telling my best friend Molly, who is as I type this is going through a very rough time, that I truly believe all things happen for a reason, even terrible things. It's hard to believe that when it's you going through it, but I think if we can just keep ahold of that simple thought, then we can get through anything.
Molly, you are an amazing woman, a wonderful mother and the best friend a girl could ask for. Know that I love you and am so very glad you are in my life.
Tomorrow Wolf and I are taking the boys to the beach, to enjoy a simple warm summer morning together in the sun. I am looking forward to it.
Sweet dreams.
