"Moving up" day arrived yesterday amid tears and drama....mostly mine of course...and the summer is suddenly here.  My babies are getting so damn big, it kills me.  Not sure what to do with myself now....so time for the Margheritas I guess.   This weekend, invite your friends over, go out with the kids, revel in the fact that you have no soccer or baseball practice, no school, no agenda...before the summer camps begin at least.  Make time for you, the husband, and the kids....and just think about the summers of your childhood-- even if you are just idealizing them in your head, try to get there-- see the endless possiblities, the play time, the dreaming, and the lazy afternoons just rolling around by the pool.  Gather the towels, the sunblock, and a book and head for the Westchester beaches or pools-- the public spots are the best source of fun-- gossip, gatherings, and giggles.

Enjoy and happy summer....
