Summer, Fall, Boys, Dogs, Hydration and the Ring of Fire
THIS is called the Ring of Fire. It is a popular carnival ride.
Every time I see the “Ring of Fire” I cringe… even squeeze my legs together a little. As a woman who has given birth, the “Ring of Fire” has a very different meaning to me.
I have survived the Ring of Fire. I have ridden rides similar to the one pictured here. Speaking as an authority on both, the ride pictured here is more deserving of the name “Stupid Dumb Circle Ride That Cannot Even Begin To Compare To The Horror And Utter Pain And Agony OF THE REAL RING OF FIRE”.
Moving on… As far as Summer and Fall goes… I posted something new at my reader blog (Mom On The Spot) with the local paper, the Kitsap Sun. It is a little article about the end of the summer… thus the beginning of Fall. It morphed into an emotional journey for me. And according to Facebook comments and some other input, it seems I am not alone…. {hugs friends}
Dogs and Boys. Over at Type-A Mom I tried to explain why in the flippin’ world I would let my family have a dog. I didn’t want one. At. All. I don’t keep plants alive. But I saw my son needed a dog. This post tells of my heart’s journey to letting go of my heart’s desire for the sake of my son’s…
And of course, there is my new review site… and I am currently in middle of a week-long hydration challenge. My skin is loving it.
I know. There are lots of links and words attached to this post. Visit as you will. Or not. Or do. Definitely, the posts at Mom On The Spot and Type-A Mom are a bit on the serious side. I think I need to go watch Barats and Bereta now. Get a little funny on.

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…

Just back from reading your post about boys and their dogs. What a beautiful perspective. I’ve been fighting this request at my house. I could stand to take your approach, I think!
And here I am blogging about the beginning of true summer weather here – finally – in SF. Ah, weather.
Sometimes we just have to do things for the sake of our children. I’m glad you got a dog.
My skin would probably love to be hydrated. I should think about following your example.
Ring of Fire is my husband’s ringtone for me. I think Mr. Cash meant it to be romantic. I kind of feel like it should be the tune for medicinal creams.
Aaaand now I’m washing my hands.
