Pacing myself.

I have 3 Gallery Shows to go to, 1 carnival, 2 Arts Festival with  Free outdoor concerts,

a Book Reading , and Friend's Summer Wedding,  up in the Berkshires on the lineup for this month. -- The Harlem Bookfair is also this month, but - I don't know if, I'll attend this  year?  I'm Playing it by ear, because

 - although He's ususally very Chill while inclined to  PeopleWatching?[especially other Babies & Children] - My Son has mastered  the "Mum, it's 90 degrees,  I want out of these hot clothes, I want out of the freakin carrier, i want to get down on the floor & play  - Woman? You better get me outta here quick or it's going to be Lots of Trouble!" {{{{tantrums}}}}...and He means business too. I don't blame him.....but We work in sync, like a tag team now, so i give My Husband the "Time to Bounce, Pull the car around back & let's get outta here,  before they throw us out! " [look] as i try to comfort the fretful one in charge, 2007.

 

Hey? We've been kicked out of  better parties, yo! [laughing]

This year? I've definately have  learned how to make an graceful and quick, exit! 

 

  It will be a fun month, though. [enjoy this Month's Cultural offerings]
