So it's 90 degrees and our air conditioning is broken. We realized this on the first day that we needed it. Of course.
The wind has been whipping through our backyard today at 45 miles an hour; it broke our new patio umbrella IN HALF, and the screen door came out of it's thingamajingy and is lying in our bedroom right now so Will can I don't know re-roll it after Keegan goes to bed..We looked like the biggest white trash house in the neighborhood with the blowing screen..UGH.
We are all sleeping in the basement tonight because it's cooler down there.,and Will just got back from borrowing the pack and play from our daycare lady because otherwise Keegan would probably have to sleep on the cat bed and I don't know if the cats would share.
I haven't been to work in two days because I have some weird virus that ISN'T H1N1 but has made me feel like shit for two weeks and made me extremely ornery to the 7th graders and only today did I get some drugs for it (brilliant) but already in three hours I feel better, so I don't care if it is the placebo effect. I realized in those two days that when I am away from school I feel infinitely better so that means I am very sick of this year, and yes, I am complaining and yes, I have a right to.
And yes, I pray about it every night, and yes, I think God thinks I need a break too.
Other than that I think that if I want to switch careers, President Obama can hire me to negotiate with foreign countries because it cannot be that different than negotiating with a two year old who does not speak in whole sentences yet.
"Well, I know that you are upset, but we are going to go in and eat dinner now, so this is your last whee (slide) so Mommy is just going to grabbbbbbbb yourrrrr hannnnddddd and now your whole boddyyyyy and whisk you into the houusssseeee..whhooooo...heerrrreee wee goooo.." In an attempt to not look like the horrible mother in the neighborhood whose child screams every day at 5:15 because he won't come inside willingly.
Of course I realize that was not negotiation, but come on, do we always negotiate in this country?
Anyway, I will close because my husband is home and I think the heat is making him all touchy feely..he has walked by and made the humping motion (underbite, arms pumping) like three times now..AND he is folding laundry..It's my lucky night..
