no letting up

I thought it’s the end of summer and the weather should, for all intents and purposes, be cooling down a little. But it seems the sun is still out with a vengeance and there’s no letting up and today, well, we’re going to hit the 100’s.

Not looking forward to it. I’m so going to stay indoors even if it means I’m breathing in recycled air from the air-conditioning and it makes my eyes watery and sleepy.

kids at the mall

The kids at the shopping malls are getting wilder or maybe it’s just their parents who enjoy letting them run around a place packed with strangers. You have small children chasing each other and bumping into people like me. These parents are irresponsible and lazy. They just want their kids to be distracted for a while when they’re busy chatting with their friends.

Is it just me or are these parents looking for an easy way out?

back to school

Can you even believe it’s already August? Time sure flies when you’re having fun, doesn’t it? And we’ve been eating out and shopping and just hanging out so much we hardly noticed it’s this late in the year already. Well, a new season will bring changes, I guess, especially when the kids go back to school. I love having the kids home so you can almost bet I’ll be missing them.

where did all the cameras go?

You would think that with the number of cameras in the house, I’d be able to find at least a half decent one to take random pictures with. Well, okay, granted we aren’t anywhere close to being a camera shop but I should at least be able to find one around when I need it, right?

Nope, looks like I’m down to taking pictures with my cell phone camera. I wish it would give me consistently good pictures but it’s moody as heck and basically has a mind of its own. I mean, how hard can it be just hitting a button and having it go click? No brainer, right?

not a beep!

On days like this, I wonder why people bother to set up a website and go into business when clearly they don’t care to give a hoot about responding to emails. I’ve just had some of my hard work rejected with no reasons given whatsoever. I write in to ask for an explanation and help. It’s been over 24 hours and not a beep from those guys. So what’s up with that?

the sun kills the fun

Ack, super hot days are here again with nary a hint of rain. We’re all having scratchy throats and dry coughs. Not good, especially since we’re having a short school break and we really want to go out and have some fun, but not in the sun :shock: !

Just that when the kids are not feeling well, I would make them stay away from fried foods which they love. And quite frankly, I hate spoiling their fun by telling them they can’t eat this or they can’t eat that. After all, it’s the school break and I just want them to enjoy themselves when we eat out.

So I hope it rains and the weather cools down so we can get rid of this pesky dry cough that’s getting us all down.

back to the grind

Oh no, the long laid-back week is going to be over soon and we’ll be back to the grind! Gosh, it’s going to take some getting used to all over again. The early morning rush to school. The long quiet morning when my kids will be at school and I’ll be home alone. The late lunches that I have to time carefully just before the kids get home from school. And the early nights when we’ll have to go to bed reluctantly early.

hot and cold

Okay, I hate to complain when almost every other blogger is complaining about the massive amounts of snow they’re having this year and being snowed in and cut off from their everyday lives.

But heck, it’s quite the opposite here. Our days are in the 90’s and the heat and humidity is just driving me crazy. I can’t open my windows because then hot air gushes in and fills up my house, making it even hotter.

And the humidity of 90+% is something else. I can be sitting here at my computer, typing away and drops of perspiration would be running down my temples and back. Can you beat that? Aargh! Just glad we got our air-conditioning fixed yesterday so we can at least sleep at night.
