IT'S HOT OUT THERE (and I am cranky!)


Isn't it strange how we are really never happy about the weather. A few weeks ago we complained because it rained for 40 days and 40 nights (or so it seemed). Now the heat just won't let up. I really try to have a good attitude about the weather and that we shouldn't take it for granted and that we are blessed to live where we do, with all of the great seasons and weather changes--but--I am hot, hot, hot, and I am MELting!
Andrew was so hot the other night, I stripped him down to a diaper to help him sleep. I only wish I could have done the same.
Tonight I took the kids out at 7:00 p.m. to the pool (kiddie pool, mind you) and I was miserable. I even stuck Andrew's feet in and splashed him once in a while to keep him cooled off.
I realize I don't live in St. George, Las Vegas or even Phoenix (as one of my friends pointed out--I am wimpy about the heat and she's from Salt Lake and lives in Tucson), but have I ever mentioned how much I hate the heat!!! I am not comfortable in it, never have been and never will be. And it just gets worse with age. Anything over 75 degrees--just count me out of the energy cycle and give me a nice big cool swimming pool or set me over the air vent in the living room. It's so much easier to get warm when you are cold--no matter how hot you are, you can only take off EVERYTHING and still be HOT!!!

About Me

My photo
Keith and I were married on October 12,1996 in the Manti, Utah LDS Temple. We have no children but raised one child, Kassie, who is actually my niece. We have 3 adorable grandchildren, Austin 5, Ashlynne 4, and Andrew 1. It has become apparent that our home has an OPEN-DOOR policy, since a lot of people have come and gone through our doors. I retired from the medical profession in Aug of 2007 after nearly 30 years and spend my time taking care of these three very lively, often funny,and very active children. My mother lives with us, however she is serving in the Illinois Peoria Mission and will return in July of 2011. Keith is an R.N. and works at a local rehab center in the Mental Health department. One day we hope to finish our home and travel more;
