Summertime = Hot as Hell!!

Welcome to Oklahoma Myers' family...as a prize we are gonna give you the largest recorded snowfall (February) and the highest temps recorded in over 75yrs (June, July and August)!!! Seriously folks, this summer not only has been one for the record books, it's been boring for the kids!! At times I feel bad that all they have really gotten to do is hang inside, go to a couple of movies and play with (gasp) mom all summer! I truly had visions of their summer alot like mine was growing up in KS...you know when the kids get shoved outside after breakfast and they just run and play until lunch, and then after eating they get shoved outside till dinner, and then after that meal they get shoved outside till the street lights come on!! (no, just me huh!!) All kidding aside, I know that's what they were looking forward to also, but what they got was dead grass, cement so hot you can fry an egg and a swing set so hot they couldn't even sit on it!! So what does a desperate mom do when it's this hot??? Slip and Slide!!!!!!! Or if your Dane Cook it's slip and bleed from the...oh well that's a whole other blog post!! The kids LOVE it (thank you gramma Donna), and the grass is already fried so who the hell cares if we ruin it some more right!? Of course we can't use the slip and slide during the day since it would probably melt their skin off their torsos as they slid on it, so nightly after dinner dad (because mom's a puss and will melt) heads out to get it ready. Oh mom steps out on occasion to grab some pics and provide ice cream, which in all reality is mainly what they want from me anyways!! I am lucky, I have 2 kids that for the most part have made the best of what this summer has brought and a husband that lets me sit inside and not sweat (seriously, that is in his best interest!!)!!
