Yesterday evening (after 8 hours in the bookmines + 2 hours travel time), Lucy and I had the coolest water gun fight. I laughed so much, as did she, and I felt so alive and rejuvenated! I had resisted the lure of the water guns at first - "I'm too tired Lucy" "I just got home from work" "Maybe tomorrow" I whined. Fortunately, I shook myself out of this mode and pretty quickly, too.
Water gun fights with Lucy are better than a cup of coffee, or chocolate sundaes, or blackberry cobbler. The water so cool on your back, as she leaps out of the bushes and squirts you down. It made me smile so much to hear her laughter and see her grin. We ran through the house shooting each other, then we ran into the front yard (after a re-fill) and she pinned me to front door, and then we scurried to the hammock out back. As we lay swinging in our new hammock (thank you for that wonderful sale Target), we shot each other and giggled, and then shot into the sky creating hydro fireworks. A wonderful evening it was and I'm glad I was able to shift out of my work mind and into our life!
