In exactly 16 weeks it will be Christmas night. The gifts will all be exchanged. Santa will have made his magical appearance and elves will have hitched a ride off their shelf. Maybe there will be snow, this year. Maybe it’ll be 20C (70F) again. Bellies will be stuffed with stuffed turkey. For just one day, all will be right with the world…
But for now, it’s September. The kids backpacks are stuffed like Christmas turkeys with all their back-to-school supplies. They’re all fresh and clean and smelling like their bath bombs from Lush. The youngest is a bit sparkly from his and he loves it. His mother sniffed him and he was furious. He fussed at her, Don’t lick my sparkles off!
Whether your part of the world is beginning to settle and chill into winter’s sleep or it’s just waking from it’s slumber, sit back and read a post that I forgot to share yesterday because I forgot what day it was…
I think I like the Monday Share better, anyway.
ps. I hope you had an amazing Labor Day weekend!
pps. Let me know down the comments which link you checked out. Thanks a bazillion!

A runner, a whiner, and $100 bucks unclearly spent, but at least back-to-school shopping got done. Mostly.

You’re quite welcome. I haven’t had the time to read blogs like I want, but realized I hadn’t visited you in quite a while so I made the time 🙂

Thanks for sharing! I’ve read several posts on Damn, Girl now & they are terrific. Sharp, funny, & sometimes brutally honest — they’re worth a visit!

Thanks for sharing my blog! I also loved that line “don’t kick my sparkles off” So cute. I hope all kids have a great day today and great year ahead!
P. S. I too am going to make more time to visit other blogs. Thanks for the inspiration!

You’re very welcome for the share. I was scrolling through my list of blogs I follow and saw that I hadn’t come to visit you in a long time. Glad to see you’re still writing 🙂 (many I hadn’t visited aren’t writing any more)

Thanks. I need to do the same. It gets so easy (in theory) to write and schedule a post, but I too haven’t read too much. Time to see who’s still writing too.

I think I’m going to start a Mon. Wed. Fri. writing schedule instead of every day. Perhaps I could use the other days for reading?

That’s a good idea. I don’t post daily, realistically, I can’t keep that up. I post a couple times a week. I’m going to add a day in there to read too!!

Once upon a time I would post every day. Most days were already planned. So I’m going to start aiming to post 3-4 times a week and read on 2 of the other days. Good luck!
