Why is it that the most poetic sounding phrases are so grammatically incorrect? Regardless, we are heading round the bend of July, and I am not prepared for the summer to come to an end. We haven't really felt like it has been a summer. At least, not a summer by Texan standards.
While the rest of the United States seems to be suffering from heat waves, drought-like conditions and all those uncomfortable things, we have been blessed with rain and mild weather. I know, sounds like the Northwest doesn't it? Of course, our rain happens when it is 82F, but it is still rain, and for Texas 82 is mighty pleasant.
Now, if I were at home with the kids, they would be allowed to play outside, ride their bikes, scoot on their scooters and the fun things you get to do in the spring, but there would be no way that they would be going to the pool, splashing on slip and slides or having water fights. It would just be too cool, and I'm sure that they would agree with me. I would have moans of, "Mommy, I'm freeeeeeziiiiing!" But, since Emily is here, the kids are getting plenty of water time, and as far as I can tell, they aren't freezing.
I find it perplexing. Their differential attitude that is, not the fact that they aren't freezing.
I can tell that the weather has been mild because the girls are the same color they were at the beginning of summer. No tan lines. No sun burns. All in all, I'm thankful for the no sun burns part. Emily is unhappy with the no tan lines part. I'm relatively certain that things will start heating up pretty soon. After all, August is coming...right?
