I did not ask for this heat & humidity.
I do not want this heat & humidity.
You take it back, Gaia!
And on a related note I am going to make my middle child do manual labor in the heat of the midday sun all weekend, because I am a good mother. See, if she chooses not to have a job during her summer college break but still wants to drive her car and have a bit of spending money then mom is going to make her work for it. I have lots of gardens to weed, some fences that need work, painting odd jobs, etc. Not to mention cleaning. Isn't she a lucky girl that I am giving her this opportunity to earn her keep?
And the midday sun thing is her choice. I keep telling her it is cooler in the mornings but she is unable to crawl out of her bed until after 11 or 12 noon. Also? Her working pace seems to be work for an hour, break for an hour, repeat (but not too often because there are DVDs to be watched & computer games to be played.) The amazing thing is she has no idea how slow and erratic she is. And there is only so much a can nag her. I am clueless on how to instill a work ethic into this kid - she just doesn't get it.
Hark! I hear her stirring upstairs even as I type!

I had to look up what Gaia meant...it's on a conservation banner here at the UW and it's been driving me nuts. I always forget to look it up. Glad you put it in your blog!
Happy Humidity Week, Swami!
I met a woman on Saturday. She and her husband are both retired but it's not what they expected. Their 33 year old divorced son and 26 year old single son still live with them and don't pay for ONE SINGLE THING. I had a few suggestions for her...
