Too Hot in the Hot tub! WWWAAAAHHH!
Well, I haven’t written in a long time… I’m having trouble deciding my reasons. For the most part I feel like I really have nothing worthy to write about these days…. I’ve just been hot. And honestly, I thought that I couldn’t function last summer because I was pregnant and had a baby and all.. but I have come to the conclusion that I just can’t function… HOT. I mean… hot in the temperature sense… I mean, I can very well deal with my “hotness” physically speaking (jk! :)… I just don’t like being hot in the summer. I’m miserable and I just realized this. The temperature has officially altered my temperament. And temperament alterations…. make for several altercations. Being that I am a very NONconfrontational person….these are all VERY much “the summer heat” talking….may I present…..
My Top 10 reasons I know the Summer Heat is Getting me Steamed
(just a little disclaimer… I realize I was wrong in ALL of these)…
1. Verbally assaulted my husband for buying the wrong ice cream for a cake I had made.
2. Fussed at Will for throwing up on and around EVERYTHING in the bathroom EXCEPT the toilet.
3. Told the Discover Card people to never call us again.
4. Made Josh wear a diaper one day because he kept refusing to go potty when I asked and continued wetting himself.
5. Rolled my eyes at the “Ice Cream Man” who parked his truck outside of Lowe’s one afternoon when I had ALL the children trying to get them across the parking lot safely–they just kept trying to run his way.
6. Made both boys take a nap one day just because it was hot and there was nothing else to do.
7. Was so hot one day and sick of cleaning up the kitchen and wiping down the table YET AGAIN… I simply took my vacuum cleaner and sucked up all of the table crumbs and left over breakfast cheerios through the hose attachment. (Thank you Eureka.)
8. Got into a heated discussion with my house cleaners because they came while I was tending to one of my children…saw my car… but it took me awhile to make it to the door…so they left…(like I wasn’t home or something?)
9. I now get great satisfaction in the murdering of all flies in our house. I currently own a professional Fly Swatter.
And the top 10 reason I know the Summer Heat is getting me steamed….
10. When the Ice Cream Truck drove by my house yet again today… I just yelled out “seriously”.
I know, I know….I have some issues… I promise you… I’m praying. I’m trying. I really am. Be patient with me… I’m struggling here…Could someone take pity on me and please offer some suggestions of what I can do… we are dying over here on the other side of Hotlanta………..oh and before you start throwing out words like “kiddie pool” and “sprinkler”…. that was soooo May. We are in July, people… give me somethin’ fresh and new!

How about the water fountains at the zoo on Wednesday at 10am?!? Sound fun? There will be quite a few people from church there! Let me know!
Miss you. Are you going to Bible Study on Tuesday?

You so crack me up and I am right there with you:) It is hard girl! And my #3 is like maniac wrestle, kick, punch his brothers child right now. They are bouncing off the walls. Haig can’t swim until July 14th and I am thinking, “what the heck!, why did you not tell me this before you massacred my child’s tallywhacker!!!????” Yes, the heat, my friend the heat. I will be praying for you. So take advantage of childcare at the Y, every day.
