10 Things I Learned This Weekend
1. Trying to be “green” and waiting to put in the window air conditioner until it gets “hot enough” is just plain stupid. There are plenty of other ways to be help save the earth and waiting until it is 105 degrees to put in a window air conditioner is not one of them.
2. Buying a house without central air was the worst decision we ever made. Period.
3. When your child refuses to go swimming, eat another piece of ice cream cake or says she is cold during a heat wave, you know she is sick.
4. On the same note, having your child come down with a 103 degree fever is much scarier in the middle of a heatwave than it is in the winter and you’ll lose hours of sleep trying to get her temperature back to normal.
5. But I discovered that these cooling strips really do work.
6. Eating too much trail mix (even if it seems healthy) because you are too hot and lazy to get up and make a real lunch will give you a terrible stomachache.
7. No matter how much Coke Zero you drink, you will still feel thirsty.
8. I now know the true meaning of the phrase “hot as hell” and I wonder if Hell could actually be located in my house.
9. Global warming is real (at least this weekend and in my part of the world). See we should have listened to Leo when we had the chance.
10. Leo is never going to notice my efforts to try to be “green”, no matter how hard I try because he only dates swimsuit models. For that reason, my air is on full blast and I plan to keep it that way.

I think we may live in the same part of the world, b/c it is that hot here too… like take your breath away as soon as you open the door, AND we’ve had some horrid thunderstorms this past week (yes we lost power for almost 2 days, boy was that good blogging fodder), AND we too have a nightly visit from the ice cream man!)
Wonder if we’re neighbors!!
