Things I Took for Granted
Jen Summers
The magic of a crowded dive bar
Driving through the loop for school drop off
and watching my sons walk into school with their peers
The resort packed on powder days
Free concerts with the whole town
Lines to get into restaurants
Having a babysitter
Seeing my parents
Sidewalk sales
Soaking in the hot springs
Extra-curricular activities
Lysol wipes on fully stocked shelves
Sending in birthday treats
Birthday parties
Any parties
Margaritas with friends
Volunteering in the classroom
Real classrooms
Manicures and pedicures
Haircuts
Highlights
Hell, dentist appointments
Gatherings of more than five people
Where hugs are allowed
