first day of summer...where did i put that bikini...and 1 other random thought...

don't be scared, i dont really own a bikini. i helped a friend with her daughter's swimming party and all of these cute little 11 year olds showed up in their bikinis and i looked back fondly on the time when i fit into one...i think it was a 6-12 month size...man, was i a cute baby. it has been pretty much downhill since then. though, when i was 8, my sister and i were at a rest stop (cause that is where we would hang out for fun and profit) and someone thought i was brooke shields. so, down hill since then, i guess...

i finally got to go to the "cool" zoo with son #2 and son #3 today...those animals-they totally rock. They know how to hang in the bronx man....really awesome. we watched the gorillas for about 25 minutes...and by the end, i had named each one because they reminded me of someone i know....of course, i won't mention any names because even though it would make the blog more fun, it wouldn't be very nice and i am a very nice person. though, i will say, that one of the gorillas spent the entire time we were there pooping and reading the newspaper....i wont say who that reminded me of....but, the resemblance was uncanny....

aside from enjoying the rhinos and giraffes and monkeys and polar bears, every time i would look at my boys, i would start to cry...the last time i took them to this particular zoo, they were in strollers and now, they are leaving for sleepaway camp...was i crying because they are leaving me alone with their father for 4 weeks? of course not...i just can't believe how big they are getting. fortunately, son #3 asked me at least 20 times when we were leaving, so he really isn't that grown up....yet....but all in all, it was a really nice day.

hope you are all having a nice day as well...

happy monday
