Supermom

Tonight I feel like Supermom. In the last two days I have: washed and folded six loads of laundry, unpacked all three of us from our fabulous vacation, dropped off the dry cleaning, gone grocery shopping (both Costco and Harmons), mowed and weed-eated the lawn, repaired sad blown-over wisteria, weeded the garden, pulled up sad, dead bush, re-potted dead flowers, cleaned one shower, two toilets (two outta three ain't bad!) and two sinks, walked my two-miles with Jake, made one birthday cake, kept on top of dishes, AND blogged. YES!! I rock. Because, like my friend Tammy says, sometimes you feel like doing all this requires a cheer leading squad, (even if I am said cheer leader). HA!

I took these pictures of my climbing roses before the heat killed them. They'll come back in the fall... they always do. Today I had to keep reminding myself they weren't gone for good as I was hacking them back to make room for the grape vines.
