I thought this would be so great--write everyday and be brilliant. Alas, just like surfing the net, I can't think of subjects. Hmmmmm.....OK, well, I'll just give you random thoughts:
I must have something going on with my sense of balance or depth perception lately. I've burned myself twice in a week. Once on the iron, once on the oven rack. Both burns look the same, swollen and red at first; ugly and brown later. I presently have one in each stage.
I still have hives ( or whatever they are), and I've had them since the week of July 4th. I'm leaning toward saying it's chiggers, but how the heck are they getting me? I have them every morning, around elastic lines, and on my legs. The thought occurred to me that the cat sleeps on my legs and maybe that was it, but the cat doesn't go outside. The dog does go outside, but is not allowed in our room, let alone on the bed. The itching is gettng very old.
M is excited about his birthday, T is uptight and very jealous about M's birthday. T has had 2 meltdowns about it already. Boy, this makes me really look forward to the present opening. Yeah, right.
HOT, as in 100* of hot. This was the second day of triple digit heat. Our house AC can't keep up, and around mid-afternoon, the living areas are very warm. Being very warm makes me cranky, and prone to postpone dinner preparations. Postponing dinner makes the kids cranky. I guess we are living in a "crank house." Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! I kill me.
We spent about $350 on our pool and junk for it. Every last dime has been worth not having to sit on concrete at a public pool and try to keep track of 4 kids who are not good swimmers. They are becoming good swimmers this summer. Yeah! I thought the novelty and pleadings of "When can we go swimming?" would lesson as the summer went by. However, the kids are just as excited everyday as they were the first day the pool was ready. Cheap entertainment, that's what I call it. Or maybe "sanity saver" is more accurate.
Sandhills Cinemas has free movies this summer and we went to the last one last week. It was Night at the Museum, which we had not seen. All of us, myself included, sat there for the full 1.75 hours totally engrossed. That is saying a lot since I hate to sit for a whole movie. Really, it was an awesome show! I kept thinking "This is the greatest home school movie ever! Every home school family should see it." Naturally, the kids have been play acting it and reciting the script ever since. We will surely buy this movie for our movie shelf.
