the heat wave
Things are looking better for a change. It feels funny to look around and feel something other than despair and sadness. If I didn't know better, I'd liken these current feelings to something similar to safety and perhaps even happiness. And there's so much energy left over to do other things when I don't have to worry all the time.
I'm sipping my morning coffee by the computer, while daughter watches cartoons and the baby naps in the sitter. It's a rare moment that both kids are quiet and happy by themselves. Usually that only happens when both of them are asleep.
A tiny nagging worry sits on my shoulder reminding that it will feel so much worse if things go bad now that they seem so much better. I know that this won't last forever. Life always throws curve balls to balance out the happy times. But for now I think I'll just enjoy. It's a much welcomed break anyway. I think I deserve this.
If only it weren't so hot all the time. The kids get cranky when they're hot and although we can keep the house nice and cool-ish, it's too hot to play outside most of the day. First we had the rainy weather that kept us stuck inside and then we went straight to the heat wave. How about the middle ground? This heat makes me feel a bit lethargic. I think I'd rather have some rain than more of this. I guess I'm not a friend of summer. I much prefer spring and fall. Winter is the other extreme. Way too cold.
We tend to have quite violent thunder storms around here, but this summer, we've only had maybe two. I'm expecting more, especially with this heat wave. It's a surprise really that there hasn't been more already. I love thunder storms.
On another note, my friend cut my hair into a bob. I love it! My hair had grown almost down to my butt already and it was heavy, hot and always in the way. I had planned to go to the hairdresser's and get something radical done, but as always the money went to the electricity and all of my hospital bills. Maybe next time.
