We had a wonderful 4th of July.
We had a terrible 4th of July.
Lots of fireworks, of both the driveway pyrotechnic variety and the explosive mentally unstable teenager variety.
We had corn on the cob, burgers and dogs on the grill, baked beans, watermelon, fresh salad, bomb pops.
We had cops in the driveway, cops hightailin' it down the street in pursuit, handcuffs, neighbors staring. Questions, decisions, but no answers.
We had colorful fireworks against a dark sky, we had giggling teenagers, we had 4 girls passed out in a tent.
We had colorful police lights against a twilight sky, we had an hysterical teenager, we had an exhausted teen passed out on my bed.
4th of Julys can be quite exhausting.....
Oh dear...Hope you are ok! Thinking about you alloxoxox
ReplyDeleteNew day. All is better. For the moment.
DeleteI have memories of those kind of wonderful/terrible days. I hope you all have a chance to take a deep breath and recover a bit emotionally. It can get better. Healing is possible. Life in the trenches is rough. Hang in there!
