Why I Love Summer

I love summer because it means that today I was able to go with Zack to work and help out with a project he's working on.
It means I could go spend some time with friends until all hours of the night and not worry about the time or how much sleep I was going to get and so I could just enjoy myself. (I'm weird about getting enough sleep when I have to work the next day.)
Not having to worry about the time meant that I could focus all my energy on the game and how I was going to win!
It meant I could focus on good friends, good conversation and incredible food.
It means that when I come home around 11:00 pm and find my backyard strewn with power tools and my living room full of wires because Zack is working on another project for work that I can stay up and help him with it (or at least keep him company).
It means when he says things like "I wish I could stay up until 2 in the morning and just finish this project...but I don't have all the parts," that I can say things like "Let's go get them. Work is only 5 minutes away. It'll only take 20 minutes or so." (Even though it's midnight.)(By the way, he's munching on your salsa while he works, D'Nell...and he loves it.)
It means long nights, short mornings, and fun afternoons and evenings.
It means I can work on all the projects I've been planning over the past 10 months.
It means I don't have to do any of those projects if I don't want to.
It means being able to go see my mom any time of day.
It means doing what I want, when I want, and realizing I need to develop more self-control (and maybe install bells inside my house so I know when I start cleaning, when to stop, when to go to recess, when it's time for P.E....).
I'll start working on that tomorrow. Tonight I'm keeping my hubby company.
