1. Summer with children aged 5 and 6 is easier than any of the previous summers. [N.B. - still not easy.]
2. Princess Morag does not have the motivation to get up and out in the morning to avoid the heat later in the day unless she has an actual plan to meet up with other human beings.
3. Roald Dahl books are as awesome as the Princess remembered (but seem shorter).
4. A new t-shirt makes her happy.
5. Swimming is much easier when you have a stronger core (for the first time in her life).
6. That wanting/wishing/hoping/praying/pretending that people will act the way you want them to is not effective.
7. Going to the beach is a lot more fun when you go with friends.
8. Exercise and time outdoors is not optional if she wants to stay sane.
9. You can make a great roast chicken in the slow cooker.
10. The car is a viable place to retreat to when the Princess is desperately trying to hang on to her last nerve and the kids are being noisy. The thuds are still audible but not the screeching!

Hey Princess, love this. Especially numbers 1 and 6. Btw, my short people are 8,9 and 10. Easiest summer so far. Perhaps Roald Dahl should wrap up my summer reading...saw you at Chatting...
