Thanks for posting this. I was just getting into bed feeling crabby and guilty because the house is a mess. The house might be a mess but it’s because we had an awesome weekend making summer memories and I fidnt have time to clean. Thanks for reminding me of that!

I supplied the pool. My friends supplied the beer.
