Moonlit Madness


The full moon lured us to the ocean last night. Actually it was my idea. I thought that we’d have a mellow moonlit walk on the beach. It was a beautiful night. The water was warm, tickling our ankles. The moon reflected off the waves and some occasional fireworks lit the sky. Unfortunately, only the setting was mellow.

In between yelling for somebody to stop hitting somebody else on the butt with their flip flops, or stop running and splashing people who don’t want to get wet, or stop rolling in the sand there were a few peaceful moments. You would think that a woman with four children would know better than to expect them to be mellow at the beach.

What was I thinking?! Well, next time I'll be prepared for the craziness.
