Bananas and lime popsicles! :)

It's 108 degrees outside. AH.

So I was trying to mind my own business and sleep peacefully away, when Liam, (note- I'm below him on the trundle) rolls on top of me. OWWW!

Weather

Normally, I'm one of those people who prefers to avoid topics such as the weather, because it usually means that there is nothing else to talk about. This is where I break that rule. It is excruciatingly, painfully, sizzling, HOT. I THINK that it was about 97 today, or at least it feels like it; here's the kicker- we're on the THIRD floor, with absolutely no air conditioning. So, this afternoon, Aunt Cindi, Liam, (My cousin Christina who got here 'bout a week ago) and I, basically moved into the mall across the street, complete with at least 12 different cuisines, a Starbucks, a Half Priced books, a Library, and, BEST OF ALL- Air conditioning!

Incredibly hot- going to Starbucks, they have mood enhancers blended or over ice, and it's LEGAL. Oh, and AC. :)

Fail.

On my break- working a nine hour shift on one of the most incredibly hot days ever. Ugh. BUT it's a job, so no complaints on my part! :)

Having a JKR moment, writing on napkins. :)

So, if you follow me regularly at all, you may have noticed my host of unkept promises and lack in updates- I know, I hate it too. But think about it this way. I'm essentually always on call both at work and on a babysitting basis. Sundays, I go to church in the morning, grab lunch, and work from 1-9 pm. When I get a call into work, I pretty much need an hours' notice and I'm there, pushing carts. The Bangles didn't write "Manic Monday" for no reason! Saturdays have been work days lately, and then Wednesday and Thursday nights I have two separate Care groups. So that leaves Tuesdays and Fridays, Both of which I almost definitely work. There's very little time! This is by no means a, "I'm giving up!" Merely, "I left my super-hero suit at home!" post. -M
