Summer is winding down and though most people are dreading the end of the season, I’m pretty happy and stoked for its departure. Now that the kids are back in school, I can finally get back to my normal work routine. No more of the constant interruptions summertime brings.
As a kid, summer was my favorite season. As an adult, not so much. I dislike being hot, sweaty, and sticky every time I step outside. I dislike the bees buzzing around my front porch ready to attack me. I dislike the spiders and their massive webs and the plump, red mosquito bites that keep me scratching all day. I dislike what the humidity does to my hair and what the extreme heat does to my attitude. I’m also not a fan of all the happy summer lovers who can’t seem to understand that not all of us love summer.
Another weighing factor of why I’m not in love with summer is the fact my kids are out of school, which is a conundrum in itself. I then become a deranged taxi driver for said kids—continually carting them from Point A to Point B—in order to keep them from lying on the couch playing video games and eating Cheetos all summer.
No, I’m not a summer lover and so glad the end is near. And even though I do enjoy a good pair of flip-flops and sandals; cookouts and ice cream; and, of course, trips to the beach, spring and fall are the seasons I covet. They are the beautiful seasons which bring me peace and restore my soul.

FYI: My initial blog tour has been rescheduled for October. Details to come.
I’m with you on not being fond of being hot and sticky. And as for bugs…I always seem to be the most delicious piece of meat around. I’ve taken to toting bug spray everywhere, despite the fact that I HATE the smell of it.
Congrats on your new release! I’m so excited for you. When the tour was delayed, I mistakenly thought the release date was, too. Looking forward to featuring you on my blog soon. Hugs!
Well, Reese, we have something in common. I always thought I was the most delicious piece of meat for every insect on this planet. Although, I don’t carry around bug spray, I carry Downy dryer sheets.
Years ago I’d read an article of how rubbing dryer sheets on your arms, legs, etc. keeps nats and mosquitoes away. The chemical in the dryer sheets that repell static cling also repels flying insects. It actually works. Try it. I like it because you get to smell fresh instead of like bug spray.
Also, I understand about the release confusion and thanks for offering a blog feature.
Just one word…AMEN
Lynn, I totally agree. AMEN!!!
I’m with you on the humidity and what it does to our hair. Goodness! Fall always puts me in a “back to work” mood, so I’m grateful for that. Certainly looking forward to your upcoming blog tour next month. Good luck!
Yes, Quanie, that humidity sucks the life out of me and my hair. I see you have an upcoming tour around the same time, too. We’ll have to support and cheer each other on with a big HURRAH!!
I’ve always been a fan of summer, but like you, as I get older and as the west coast seems to have more humidity with each summer, I may have to rethink my position on the subject. But for now I’ll have to weather the triple digit temps forecasted for the next week. Ughhhh!!! Get the play on the word…..weather? Hah!
No matter what the season, I still humor myself…and you.
Okay, Starla, I’m hoping you stick with your day job and don’t become a comedian. Your play on the word “weather” was not that funny. It must have only been funny in YOUR head. 🙂
