Hello everyone,
another stinking hot day here, but thankfully it has gotten too hot
too early as I start this at 7.45am it is nice, I have the front and
back doors open again and soon I will be going in to change my
clothes so I can go shopping. It is time to go shopping for school
pants for Leo and school shoes, yes we have a couple of pairs of
school shoes but he goes though 4 or 5 pairs of shoes a year. Now I
know many of you are wondering why his mother isn't going shopping
for his school stuff, well she would if I told her to do so but I am
going to Kmart today anyway and don't mind doing it for her and she
will be the one paying for the stuff.
Ok here I am again
it is now 10.15am, I am home and the air conditioners are going so
the house should soon cool down. I have gone and done my shopping
that I wanted to do, I bought Leo 2 new pairs of long school pants
and another pair of school shoes so he now has 3 pairs of school
shoes, hopefully they will see us through the first half of the year.
Now as you all know
it gets stinking bloody hot here, today is going to be around 41°c
at the moment in is about 30°c anyway not the point. As hot as it
gets Leo has decided that he will not wear shorts, a number of times
last month I would tell him to change into school shorts and he would
sometimes change but when it came time to leave I would tell him to
get in the car while I went to the toilet and when he was getting out
of the car at the school I noticed he had changed back into long
pants................grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
So I have told
Jessica if he will not wear shorts what am I to do other then make
sure he has long school pants to wear that will not make him over
heat too much. She said make him wear the shorts easy for her to say
she isn't the one dealing with him and let's be honest here I cannot
be bothered having that fight with him before school. I do not like
him to go to school in a bad mood.
Back to me I like it
when I can get out do some shopping and be home again all by 10 or
11am, I am not one to be doing stuff all day, many times in the past
people have said what's your rush you have all day, yeah but I don't
want to be all day doing stuff.
Last Friday when I
was shopping I bought a bottle of Port and mentioned to Tim if he
wanted to have some he could, he says I don't like Port much, since
when Tim, since when, many times you have drunk my Port but if you
don't like it all the more for me. That said you all know I am not a
big drinker yes I drink and yes from time to time I may even get
drunk but getting drunk isn't the norm for me two, three or four
drinks are usually enough for me and I don't have strong drinks, I
drown the Port or whatever liqueur I am drinking in Coke so four
drinks for me may be equal to two drinks for someone else and I never
drink anything neat.
Tim just walked in
he is on split shifts all week well I think he said he is on them all
week I could ask him but he gets annoyed when I ask at times so not
doing that, he is home for about 3 hours before he goes back to work
for another 3 hours.
Some of you may
wonder if I buy stuff for my other grandchildren, well not really did
buy Blain a new school hat on Friday but his parents usually buy his
school stuff and of course Kathy buys for Sydney-May so no I don't
need to, Jessica can do these things she just often doesn't want to.
How often do you
think as you are putting on an item of clothing or taking it off that
you really should bin the item, you think that but you still put it
on or toss it in the wash, I am sure I am not the only person who
does that. I have been meaning to toss this bra I am wearing for the
last month or two and still I am wearing it. I can be just as bad
with knickers and other bloody clothes or to be honest if the clothes
were in fact bloody I might indeed toss them in the bin, just saying.
I just found and put
in my bag Leo's stationary list for the stuff he will need this year
at school, I meant to shove it in my bag before I went out but didn't
oh well it is in my bag now and I will have a look for the stuff on
Friday.
At the moment Tim is
watching the Benny Hill show, I could never stand Benny Hill he got
on my nerves but since I wasn't watching anything I have said
nothing.
Hot here in south Florida, too. We keep hoping for a cool front---we had one for a few days but that was it. Our temps are still in the 80's while the rest of the country is dealing with deadly snow storms.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the in between weather not too hot nor too cold, today sadly it was 30°c at 5.30am so another bloody hot day at the moment it is around 40°c with a hot wind
DeleteWhen it's that hot out it's smart to get your shopping done and not end up out and about in the middle of the day,
ReplyDeleteI think so I wasn't planning to leave the house today but just had to pop out and take Tim his motorbike jacket and damn it was hot out
DeleteSounds like a busy hot day.
ReplyDeleteIt was a busy hot morning the rest of the day was easy
DeleteI looked up what 30 c and that is 105.8. That's exactly how HOT we are in the summer. Is it humid or dry? We are dry - desert dry so it is, I believe more tolerably. You don't sweat.
ReplyDeleteWe have dry hot days and humid hot days, Friday was a very humid day and even though it wasn't stinking hot the sweat was dripping off me
DeleteI don't envy you at all as far as the hot weather. Here in Kansas in the summer it gets that hot but, of course, it's winter here so we are very cool right now.
ReplyDeleteHot days are common in Summer but when it is humid it is terrible and the sweat is dripping off you
DeleteI think sometimes we are the last ones to buy new things we need for ourselves, especially underwear. I remember my mother's sometimes being in tatters, and occasionally mine too, and it wasn't financially necessary. Go ahead and toss that bra and gift yourself a new one in a pretty color to make you smile! :-) I have a suggestion with Leo and the short pants, because I agree it's not worth a struggle. Make a reward chart, and if he wears short pants four days out of the school week he gets a star for each day and at the end of the week gets a favorite treat to eat or small trinket from the store. That way it's up to him, but it has to be at least four times, giving him one day to choose long ones. I wonder if someone is giving him a hard time at school, or why he prefers long ones that are much warmer? I drink only an ocassional glass of wine, a 1/2 of my husband's cold beer, or a little honey-flavored whiskey on ice. I enjoy it because it relaxes me, but it's only once or twice a week. Enjoy that glass of port, sip one for me! :-)
ReplyDeleteI will try the reward thing with Leo and see if it makes a difference, but I am not going to stress over it, the long pants I bought shouldn't make him too hot, I hope. A bottle of port will last me between 4-8 weeks I am not a big drinker
