Dear Summer,
I am sorry to say that this year you sucked. It is a bit harsh, but you sucked, a lot. I honestly cannot remember a worst summer.
You were beautiful. You gave us countless days full of sunshine.Yeah, 2013 was one of the warmest Summers PNW has seen in a while. A. started school and took into a new adventure. But you still sucked.
At least for me.
See, I tried to look past it, I did. But I was sick for 70% of your duration. And that is not cool….at all!
Between getting 2 colds with a week of recovery between them, countless migraines and depression, was it really necessary to also throw Hand, Mouth and Foot Disease (HMFD) into the mix? Apparently 5 migraines in one month was not enough, huh?
Having HMFD was the worst part of you. But I will leave all the horrible and nasty details out of it because it made me quite miserable for at least 3 weeks. Imagine not being able to eat because your gums and teeth hurt…
So, I am leaving you now…moving on to Autumn and I am very happy about it.
I will leave you now. Hopefully you will bring a better Summer next year.
Goodbye Summer.
Mine sucked but…
How was your Summer?
Don’t be a stranger

Summer? Is that what it was called? It went by so fast. It either hot and rainy or was too chilly for the daycare kids to swim. My Garden flooded out and was a big ole nothing. I worked 70 to 75 hours per week and have been exhausted for months. Every time we went camping it either rained or was cold. I would have to say that summer sucked also!
September 30, 2013
Aww, I am sorry to hear your summer sucked too!! But look at the bright side: It is over now!! I hope Autumn brings you better days 🙂
September 30, 2013
Awwww. sorry you had a bad summer. Hope you’re all better now. I just know Autumn is going to bring you sunshine!!! Hang in there with us!
September 30, 2013
I hope I get some sunshine too…and a most needed break! I doubt the sun will shine since the rain has just begun, but I do love me some Autumn chilly nights by the fire (and now that I have a cat to cuddle with me, this season will be so much better!!)
September 30, 2013
It wasn’t a good summer here either. Not because of health concerns thankfully, It was just a stressful time and season of our lives.
And the weather couldn’t make up it’s mind almost as much as some people in our lives who made promises they didn’t keep which left us scrambling to recover some semblance of a summer vacation. I look at my kids faces and know we failed. But hey, we tried.
So, yeah I’m with you, summer needs to move on. We just weren’t that in to you.
Hope you feel better soon Sofia!
September 30, 2013
Yeah, Summer was bad. Glad Autumn is here….and hope it goes wonderfully for you and your family! 🙂
September 30, 2013
It definitely sounds like summer was pretty horrible to you. I’ve frequently complained that this summer went by very quickly, but I take all that back now because everything you went through must have made it seem like an eternity!
I can relate to your teeth and gum issues. I have genetically terrible teeth and have had Periodontal Disease since my teens. In the past handful of years, I have been barely able to eat much of anything and as of late, I have been trying to get used to using the left side of my mouth as little as possible. Not easy, terrible, and I am so sorry you had to go through that. I hope autumn is much, much better to you.
September 30, 2013
Even though I was sick most of the time, Summer did go by fast (yei!). Hand, Mouth, Feet Disease sucked. I know how painful it can get and I cannot imagine little preschoolers going through with it (HFMD is very common in young children). I am hoping that Autumn goes better.
September 30, 2013
Our summer went by way too quickly here. I am not even sure I remember it existing! 😉
September 30, 2013
I’ve heard the same from so many people!! Summer 2013 did go by fast!
September 30, 2013
Oh man I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been sick most of the time. Luckily I didn’t have any health issues (now last year was another story), not since I’m taking lots of vitamins and minerals and started with iodine. One of the best things ever.
September 30, 2013
I will have to follow suit and start taking vitamins!! Glad your 2013 went way better than mine!
September 30, 2013
I hope you have a better fall than summer! It sounds like you guys had a seriously rough patch! It’s gotta be a better fall 🙂
September 30, 2013
It will definitely be a better fall. Gotta stay positive! 🙂
September 30, 2013
Wow! HMFD is nasty stuff. I haven’t contracted it yet, thank goodness, but I know those that have. After the summer you’ve had, I hope your fall is much better. It has to be right??
September 30, 2013
HMFD does suck….big time!! And I do hope Fall goes better, way better!!
September 30, 2013
I love this post! Mostly my feelings too… btw.. I love the picture and so pinning it 🙂 Hopefully, we will have a better summer next year! fingers crossed 🙂
September 30, 2013
I sure hope next year is way better than this. Cross our fingers!!
September 30, 2013
our summer was incredibly rainy! We barely had any time to get to the pool…but, fall so far is beautiful!
September 30, 2013
I hope you have a wonderful fall! I’m sure next summer will be brighter for you 🙂
September 30, 2013
Even though this summer leave a lot to hope for, I am definitely looking forward to next year’s!
September 30, 2013
I am looking forward to fall as well, my favorite season. Did a few fun things over the summer, but fall is where all the fun begins!
September 30, 2013
I am definitely looking forward to the Holiday season, hot buttered rums, and lots of fun with my family!
September 30, 2013
Sorry your summer sucked. I get migraines too and I’ve been battling mild depression as well so I really do feel for you. Autumn is my favorite season, so I’ll talk to it and make sure it is awesome for you. Just let me know if it gives you any hassle and I’ll have some words with him.
September 30, 2013
Aww, you are so sweet!! I am sure Fall will be nicer to me than Summer was. 😉
September 30, 2013
YTikes, I hope autumn is nicer to you! My summer was pretty boring we didnt go anywhere or do anything special!
September 30, 2013
I hope you have a much more fun-filled Fall!!
September 30, 2013
Sorry about the colds and the Hand-Foot-Mouth . My youngest got it when he was 13 months , was not fun at all.
September 30, 2013
Ouch!! I feel for your little one!! It is so, so painful!! Hope he never EVER gets it again!!
September 30, 2013
Wow you certainly did have a rotten summer 🙁 Hopefully Autumn is full of happiness and relaxation 🙂
September 30, 2013
Relaxation….hmm, now that sounds nice! 🙂 Hope your fall is full of all the things that make you happy! 🙂
September 30, 2013
LOL! Awe sorry to hear you had such a crappy Summer. Mine was really good The weather was great here. I just wish I would have gotten out camping. I miss camping and being at the beach. 🙁
September 30, 2013
Ooh, now that you mentioned it, we also missed going camping. Yuck. I am so glad Autumn is here!
September 30, 2013
HMFD is no fun. I remember my youngest picked it up from daycare one year. It was pretty miserable. I hope things get to looking better for you!!
September 30, 2013
It is the worst thing ever!! I would rather get a migraine than get HMFD again!!
September 30, 2013
Thank you for your honesty. so often everyone says how great their summers were and don’t tell about the 5 migraines. My summer was full of driving my freshman back and forth to school. OH Joy. Yeah I am happy fall is here.
September 30, 2013
Summer sucked. Hope Fall makes it up to you! Hope you won’t have to drive that much 🙂
September 30, 2013
It rained for the entire month of July and part of August where I live. You would have thought it was Seattle or something, then we had two weeks of heat, now its fall. Its so weird that summer is over. I’m so sorry you were ill for most of it!
September 30, 2013
We had a gorgeous summer and now the rain is back. But when you are sick most of the time….well, you get to hang out a lot with your pillow!! So ready for some Autumn weather (aka rain)!!
September 30, 2013
VERY well put… 😀
September 30, 2013
My summer was pretty good. I really am so sorry you were so sick, I hope Fall is a great season for you.. 🙂
September 30, 2013
🙂 I am looking forward to many hot buttered rum nights by the fire!
September 30, 2013
wish we had seasons here in Florida!
September 30, 2013
Awww, I’m so sorry you had to deal with all of that! I suffered from migraines for years and thankfully got a doctor to help them go away. And we had Hand, Foot and Mouth go through our home 2 years ago. I had a daycare kid bring it in. It hit all of the parents too – it was awful. Hopefully next year will be better for you!

this summer was a so-so one for us, we had two deaths in the family and my husband lost his job, we tried to make the best of it especially for our kids–NOW he’d found another job and the new year is approaching I’m looking for a new leaf to turn. -Hope it will for you too,
I love the photo
October 1, 2013
Awww…. and it went by much too quickly, didn’t it? I’m sorry you didn’t have a good Summer 🙁 It’s supposed to be the best time of the year for many people. But now we move onto the jolly Holidays! Hope it will be better these next few months.
October 1, 2013
Awwww! That sucks. But look forward…I am sure this season will be your best yet!
