Badger and I walked the two miles to the Dollar Store (and back) in the heat yesterday, then Raven and his girlfriend took us up to Morristown for window shopping.
It was hot.
They blasted their music so loud the car was shaking, and with both of them smoking like chimneys, by the time we got back I had such a terrible headache I just went straight to bed.
Today was a much better day, thank goodness. I decided that what would be would be and forced myself to chill out. I sat in the car and sent Raven. I told him to deal with it today.
First day back to school and what does it do?
Yup, it pours down.
It did stop by three, but the wind was whipping and it was cold.
Well, maybe not cold‑cold, but it sure wasn’t shorts and T‑shirt weather.
I was shivering, which isn’t unusual for me if the temps drop below sixty.
Luckily, my little snail, Badger, managed to get her butt out of the school fairly quick this evening.
I think she was ready to head home and relax for a while.
Another chilly morning. This is getting a little bit ridiculous. We’re on summer break. We’re supposed to have, you know, summer.
| Little Napoleon let the walkers go with the car riders again today. Badger said they got in such a hurry they forgot to call daycare. I’m telling you, the man is dead set on proving me wrong. He’s bound and determined to say walkers have always been dismissed at 3:05 p.m., come hell or high water. |
I was up at 6:30 a.m. this morning so that we could leave the house by 8 a.m. to get Raven to the airport on time.
His plane was scheduled to leave at 11 a.m., but it came in at 10:48 a.m., and he was in the air before 11 a.m., so it was a good thing we left a little early.
I just really noticed the date.
We gained a new month while we were out "roughing it."
I can't believe it's already September.
Not a whole lot to blab on about today.
We are freezing!
This big old house is downright, plumb cold without any heat.
Don't all parents have an extra, unseen child named Nobody?
Or even better, I Didn't Do It?
Yeah, well, both Nobody and I Didn't Do It visited us last night and spilled an entire new bottle of my coffee creamer out in the fridge.
Oh man, that was a sticky, runny mess.
I just waited until this morning to clean it up, and I loathe cleaning that fridge.
Cowboy went into work at 12 p.m.
I piddled around all day.
The house was clean, and the laundry was caught up except for Badger's bedding, which I've worked on all day.
With the kids at school and Cowboy gone during the day, I don't really have much to do.
Raven, Heron, and Badger didn't go to school today.
It was our annual flu shot time.
They took them like champs.
