A bumpy start to the week

Left the house in a huff this morning after a spat with my 14 year old who was acting like, well, a 14 year old. With my blood pressure boiling and the dogs in the back, I headed for my salvation - the beach. What an amazing morning it was at the beach. The sun was shining, the surf was up, the surfers were out and I kept pressing ignore on my phone as Reese continued to call. The dogs ran from one end of the beach to the other, jumping in the water, rolling in the sand, stopping every once in awhile to make sure I was still there.

By the time I returned home, Reese had left for school, the house was quiet, the dogs were tired and I was ready to take on the day.

Thank god for the beach.
