Summer is Coming

A few tips to let you know summer is coming
1. Your electricity bill has increased 2.5x in the last 30 days
2. The number of spiders you are killing per day is starting to exceed the number of meals you consume. (4 is my high so far with the last one crawling over my toes while in the bathroom. Yeah, fun huh?)
3. Violent crime is increasing expotentially with the mercury.
4. Hurricane season has officially started. (And you actually have a 72 hour kit with enough flashlights and batteries to light a small village)
5. You carry a water bottle wherever you go so you don't get heat stroke.
6. Your steering wheel can actually burn your hands.
7. When you go to the pool you're wet but not cooled off.
8. You stop using the oven to cook anything.
9. You send your kids out to play at 7am cause it's too hot later in the day.
And Number 10
You start to count down the days until Thanksgiving when you can go outside again.

Love it! You forgot this one... Your kids are constantly saying, "I'm board!" or "What are we going to do today?" like it is my job to entertain them.

We don't have it as bad as you guys, but it's already too hot here, too! I hate it!

yes, i admit it: i don't miss the sweaty/muggy/humid mess in which you live. although i do think la is probably worse than va. i'm sure nate will enjoy getting away from all that for a little while this summer.
