In the words of the great Frankie baby, "Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day, I've got a beautiful feeling, everything's going my way!" Its Friday, my mom is taking the kids tonight for me and Brian to have an early celebration of our wedding anniversary that is tomorrow. (5 years yippee) Our countdown to Florida dropped into the 50s! And the school countdown is officially in the 10 days left! My house is fairly clean, my kids are fairly happy, my dogs are filthy, lol, and I am on a second delicious cup of coffee and feeling fine! Today feels wonderful!
Its hot as hell itself outside. Apparently we are under some heat dome...that isn't scary at all sounding....and its killing people and making us all sick from the heat. I believe it. You step outside and you feel like you are stepping into the sauna in a three piece suit. Its not so great, trust me. I bought a new sprinkler for the kids yesterday on sale at kmart. They loved it. Its the only chance to play in truly cold water right now. Plus I forced them to go outside, and myself too, because it has been so hot we are turning into pasty couch potatoes again and that is not good. I swear, come fall, my kids will not be allowed in the house after homework time! They are forgetting what its like to be kids outside thanks to this miserable weather. I am too, and almost feel like the winter depression setting in the same way thanks to being basically prisoners in a house because of money (or should I say lack of) and the ungodly heat and mugginess.
Today is going to be likely another day of not a whole lot going on. Yesterday Brian was off work and we did a little running around but not much because of the rain and heat, and today looks like an even less energetic day. Plus I don't want to do anything that increases my chances for a headache since I am really looking forward to our date night tonight, even though as usual we have NO idea what we want to do. Either its way too expensive or just not something we are into, or both. Thinking its going to be another pretty quiet night "out", but then tomorrow Brian has to work, so it will be a pretty quiet day for me until I go get my kids.
I can't believe how fast this last week has gone by though! Even with all the sitting around doing nothing it still seems like it has pretty much flown by. I didn't get as much as I could have or wanted to have done this week with the kids, as usual money/heat/laziness is to blame, but they seem ok with it. I am determined though that this week we will do something, even if its just going to fernbank or something. We have got to feel like we did something! I may also suck it up and take them to the lake since I think it may be a tiny bit cooler than the pools now.
Well, I guess I should go do some laundry and try to come up with something to do tonight! Happy Friday!
