School Days

Well, the first day of school went well. I knew my daughters would be fine, but my son is in Junior High, and that can be challenging. I can't believe that next year I will have a son in High School!! The poor kid is smaller than his little sister in third grade.

I still don't have a computer, and have to use the kids. (it's old, and SUCKS!) I would never tell them that though, they already think they each need their own laptop.

Well, I knew it was coming. My laptop has died a slow, painful death. I was tempted to ease the pain by throwing the damn thing off the deck. The sad thing is that I can barely function without my computer. I pay bills, do my banking, check the weather, check school schedules and announcements, etc.... Not to mention I have to read TMZ and PerezHilton, and a bunch of blogs. The more I type this, the more pathetic I feel.

So, if you happen to stop by let me know what kind of computer you have and why...please.

I wonder if my husband will notice if I put a brick in his briefcase tonight instead of his laptop?? Might be worth a try.

August

It's August already??

The bad news I guess is that summer will be over soon.
The good news is I'm 23 pounds lighter that I was on July 3!
More bad news....I'm still fat!
More good news.....school starts the 27th.

Hot

It's hot, not just hot, but fucking hot. Oh yeah, and it's humid. I went out this morning and watered the flowers, pulled weeds, cleaned the car, etc... By 10am, I was ready to be in the air conditioning. I live in my childhood home...well I think my dad built this house when I was in 7th grade, but it seems like I've lived here forever. We didn't have air conditioning and it was so miserable. I was a lifeguard and would sit out in the sun all day, and then come home to a sauna. Now we have central air and I love it......and everytime my mom comes over she makes it a point to say she's freezing. I went over to her house today, to take her mail in while she's away, it's over 90 degrees in her house. She had some candles sitting on a table, and guess what? They melted and are bent over and look like I used to feel living without A/C.
