I understand why some of the Katrina victims had to be forced from their hotel refuges. I really liked the hotel rooms and bathrooms. Never running out of clean towels is a luxury I could never get tired of having. A two-year-old doesn’t care that people are trying to sleep just a few inches from […]
I’m blogging from the cool air conditioned third floor room in our temporary witless relocation site. Surrounded by fast moving people in suits with laptops, our personal army noisily clumbered into the hotel armed with backpacks, diaper bags and desktop computers. Our morning chaos was much more complicated with the added task of driving children […]
At LissaKay’s suggestion, we asked our insurance company to put us into a hotel until the a/c is replaced, it got damaged after we got hit by an earthquake. Guess where we’re sleeping tonight? Someplace COLD! If I’m very lucky, I’ll get the PC working at our witless relocation spot. Wish me luck! Hopefully our […]
I love having a metal front door. Not only can the dog not eat it, I can stick notes and lists that need to be remembered by children on the door. I do not want any phone calls from school this year whining about forgotten permission slips. Well, if Amy forgets something, it’s my fault. […]
This weekend, I made one of my extremely rare visits to church. I don’t want to explain why I left the Baptist church to be a part of the church of John Walton. I went on Sunday because the house was hot, the church was cool and I wanted to peek in on Evan in […]
Rain. Sweet tea. It feels cooler outdoors. Hearing the birds sing. It doesn’t matter if you used up the hot water doing laundry. A cool bath feels good. Nobody steals the covers at night. Nobody wants covers. The children sleep later in the mornings. Everyone piles in the car quickly for errands. Car = a/c. […]
Yes, I’m weather blogging. Go ahead and report me to the blog police. Hot is the color of my world right now. No, color is wrong. Smell would be more accurate. I don’t care how good the deodorant claims to be, there is nothing strong enough for the constant 90 degree environment. Sarah and I […]
At 7:22 this morning, EVERYONE in our house was asleep. I don’t know what kind of craziness is going on, but we have more than enough on our own plate without you dragging us into your problems. Go find another playmate. That is as polite as I am going to be about this.
It’s cooler outside than it is in our house right now, so I’m going to hide in the basement and read until Doug gets home and then I’m going to sit in the air conditioned mall and read while Evan plays on the playground there. I’ll check back in a few hours to see if […]
What’s on my mind? What’s the family doing? I’m afraid to say anything that might keep me from having 24 hours worth of posts this weekend. I will say that Amy is walking around with panties on her head demanding that everyone in the family do the same so that we can have an underwear […]
