Feeling Miserable
Hearing Papa Loved Mama by: Garth Brooks
It's Just Too Darn Hot!
Massachusetts is in the midst of a heatwave right now. Lovely! Joy! Rapture! It's so hot out there that dad finally brought our fans out but there's two problems one, we have only three and two, they aren't powerful enough to make a difference.
Today was a prime example of what can happen when ambitious people get lazy and the heat sort of fed into it. The boys spent much of their day in their underwear. Collin could've gotten away with a diaper but he yanks them off so he got a pair of Austin's old underpants put over and the only time any of us really got dressed was when we absolutely had to.
Oh, and the only time it was deamned absolutely necessary was when all of us opted to venture out for ice cream. Mom,dad and I hopped into the Intrepid and F.B.I.L. and Tiff followed with the boys. Destination: Dairy Maid!
Dairy Maid has been a staple of my childhood. It's one of the only three places left open and
Tiff and F.B.I.L. were three or four people behind us with the boys and soon we were all standing at the car eating our ice cream. We had to eat it quick because the heat was melting it faster then we could actually keep up!
It was nice though. Mom got her soft vanilla, dad had frozen pudding, Tiff had orange sherbet,as did Collin, F.B.I.L. had rainbow sherbet,Austin had soft vanilla and I ordered two things. One was an ice cream freeze and a cone of blueberry cheesecake. The sherbet is made on the sight and unfortunately it was a bit too tangy for Collin so I wound up sharing my vanilla freeze with him!
He loved it!
After we left the ice cream place mom,dad and I headed to Wally World. We bought towels and stuff and then came home. I actually had a peaceful couple of hours because Tiff and F.B.I.L. went to Gram's to remove her storm windows and then came home. About an hour later they came home and a friend of their's hadcalled.
She invited them over but Collin was exhausted. He hadn't napped all day. I don't get why they have such a difficult time with him. Still, I offered to watch Collin while they took Austin with them. F.B.I.L. got on my nerves by saying how hard it was going to be to get Collin to sleep!
Yeah, right!
A minute after they left I filled the bath tub and stuck Collin in. When he had played and was clean I pulled him out, set him on the couch, dried him off, put powder on him and gave him his bottle. He was out within a few minutes! 5 at the most. Difficult?!
Please! I'm holding back my need to laugh in F.B.I.L.'s face. He and my sister have so much drama with the boys and my mom and I are just so cool and mellow. Lately, Collin just seems extra bonded to me.
Maybe it's the kindred spirit of both uf us wearing glasses and his delays but he's getting so smart now. He says a bunch of new words, he cries for me when I leave the room and he absolutely breaks into deep, hysterical laughter when I'm playing with him! He's such a neat little guy!
You know I always questioned if I could love him as much as I love Austin and you know what? I really,really do!
In other news Dizzy accepted my apology. I am so relieved. He's such a sweetie. He told me tonight, on the phone, "Just give me a chance,k? I know you've dealt with a lot but you know what? I'm not those guys. I'm not the one who won't accept you for who you are, who will lie and cheat so give me a shot! I promise I'll try my hardest to make you happy!"
How can I say,'No!' to that? So, he's getting a chance.
The weather is still crappy here. It's so humid! Anyway, now it's like 70 something so it's a bit cooler and I managed to jump into the shower myself so I'm feeling a bit better. Sadly, my face is very,very sunburnt from my trip to the t-ball game the other day. Oh, and before any of you ask, as Dizzy did, no, I didn't use sunblock but I sat under a tree.
Guess next week I'll remember the sunblock,won't I?
