I've never been a summer person. I really don't like the heat and humidity. I think it's from all the years that we didn't have air conditioning. We had an attic fan that my dad would turn on at night and it would "cool" the house off. It would also make the house smell like a barn, because my dad would fertilize his little gardens around the house with manure and all that fresh air would get sucked into the house. My mom rarely uses her air conditioning now. Last summer it was so hot in her house that her candles melted. They were bent and miserable looking....kind of how I felt when I'd go in to see her. She finally agreed to turn it on, when my kids said they wouldn't come see her because it was too hot.
This week I've found myself longing for Summer. We've been stuck in the house, and school has been canceled because of the record low temperatures. I'm crossing my fingers that school will be open tomorrow. I love a day off as much as the kids, but 3 in a row and we all get a little stir crazy.
I'll probably re-read this post in August, it'll be hot and miserable. The kids will be tired of going to the pool......and my hair will be a frizzy mess. And, I'll be longing for Winter.
