Last weekend, I dragged the Let the dog in! household to a civil war re-enactment, but since the civil war was more sad than funny I know nothing about the civil war, how’s about we talk s’more about summer with the kids out of school, ‘k??
It starts off with a gorgeous image, a vision of calm, peaceful order and an appreciation of community and the natural beauty in all life.
You imagine you’ll have lovely, relaxing chats with your friends and neighbors.
As the natives declare they’re BORED get restless, you quickly realize you have a big, white target “X” on your back.
You scramble to entertain the enemy your kids with music and fun, perhaps an outdoor concert.
But even the littlest soldiers revolt.
(with the very littlest fighters yelling, “BANG,” instead of firing an actual gun)
Before the actual altercations began, you fashioned yourself the guy with the biggest, loudest gun on the field, but, alas, you need to fix a martini a reality check.
In the end, your fate turns out more like the band.
And your living room, strewn with popsicle sticks dead bodies that no one is picking up…
If you’re lucky, some summer camp instructor angelic vision will come to pray for your soul.
What month is this? September, right? Whaaa?
Do you have war on your hands or a peace treaty?
Come join the Let the dog in! gang on Facebook and Twitter!!

Don’t wish the summer away! Yes, it’s going to be tough, but we’ll manage somehow (with martinis and ear plugs).
