HOT and HUMID
This week has been so hot and terribly humid. The temperatures have been in the mid 90's all week with thunderstorms in the evenings. If I didn't know better I'd swear we were in Miami, FLA. Its only the beginning of June and my poor air conditioners have been working nonstop. I know I will cry when I receive the electric bill. Its times like this I think about moving up north somewhere but all I have to do is think about the cold and snow and I think OK, this heat isn't so bad. I'm looking forward to this weekends beer and seafood celebration downtown. I'm not a beer drinker but I am a seafood lover. I can't wait to dig into some shrimp, my absolute favorite.
Sometimes I wonder what the heck is going on in my head. All this school year I have been fully aware of the fact that my daughter is a junior in high school. All year I have thought that in the distant future she will be a senior. Not till yesterday did it dawn on me all the crap that goes with that move to being a senior.
Senior portraits have to be done this summer. WTF? Do you have any clue the sheer expense involved in this tradition? Well I guess the 4 years since my son went through this same thing allowed me to forget the horrors of it all. Yesterday when I received a senior photography studio flier it all came rushing back. I'm in no way prepared for the expense of not only the photography session, the choosing of photos etc., etc. I have to buy the child new stuff just for this event. I made the appointment for later this month and now I'm hyperventilating because what do you think happened this morning? Come on guess.
The freaking dryer decided to die. Yes DIE! The second time in about a year. I can't afford this shit. I'm struggling to make ends meet without the aid of the freaking appliances dying on me. I hate the thought of having to deal with the mountain of laundry I have weekly, shit let me rephrase that... the mountain of laundry I have daily. Going to a laundry mat is not something I enjoy and certainly not in this heat wave.
1 2 3... I will try counting to 10, sometimes it helps. Though I've yet to have that help me in the most important sense... Monetarily. 4 5 6...OK I'm feeling a little better. 7 8 9 and 10. If any of you can send me some good mojo, prayers, well wishes, whatever, I'd greatly appreciate it. I know there are worse things I've dealt with some of those already.
OK I will think again about the seafood...... ahhhhh . I will post about that monday.
