Your post for the day

I’m tired. There is no joy. But at least I’m finding a little bit of energy to tell you I have no energy. We made it. So I’m gonna go get ready for bed.
That was a long ass drive with 2 kids.

Joy????

Today….well since I participated in NaBloPoMo, I DO want to try to write something here everyday. But today…this week…ugh. I was able to find the joy in the last few days. I’m struggling today. While I’m simply happy that I’m alive, I also feel like I want to rage out against the world right now. For injustices everywhere. For those who have trespassed against me and my fellow bredren. From feeling unappreciated to watching our culture and society crumble.

And so I weep tonight.

I wish I had something funny to share but I don’t. I’ll let this post go silently into the night. Tonight I will mourn a little. I’ll feel a little sorry for myself. I’ll remind myself that I still have a hot husband and funny little loving children so I don’t feel TOO sorry for myself. But tonight…just give me tonight.

Hot in Hurrrrr

Holy heat Batman!

Here in Austin, it’s going to be 104 degrees today. It’s almost 2pm and it’s already 101 out. These are the times when you seek indoor air conditioned shelter to beat the heat right?

Wrong. It’s ridiculously cold inside my office right now. I have a sweater on and a fleece blanket draped over my legs. Last week, I walked in my daughter’s daycare room to pick her up at 5:30pm. The room felt like a freezer, like they were keeping body bags somewhere. These kids, together, still weigh less than some athletes do, so why on earth was it so cold in there? Why on earth is it so cold in my office?

I can’t seem to win. My husband likes to conserve energy, so we keep our A/C turned up as high as possible without it turning into child abuse. But it’s still wifely abuse, I GET HOT! He knows it and he’s seen me sneaking to the thermostat to turn it down a bit.

Anyway, baby girl and I are beating the heat by going to pools and staying inside. She dons her diapers and I don my granny panties and t-shirts. Don’t hate on me, it’s too hot to wear nice underwear.

Hellloooo Texas summer…..

And this used to be okay?!

My fellow parents…..

All of what you see in the photos below used to be ok and totally acceptable. I love it for the humor factor, but once it sunk in, I was like, “whaaaaaa?”
