It's F*cking hot! I know, I know, Mom's don't cuss, right?! Ah ha ha ha!! Well they do when it's 104 degrees outside and they live in California, in the valley, you know the "armpit of California." Oh and did I mention I'm on day #4 without air conditioning? Yea, so like I said, I'm living in Hell.
Myself, my kids,my husband, dang, my cats and dogs make my house look like a murder scene. No but really, everyone is laying on the floor, stretched out, just not moving and barely breathing. It looks like an episode of CSI.
Apparently my house is SO old the breaker box is shot and needs replacing. In the meantime our a/c is out due to the box being shotty and we can't get anyone out to look at it until Monday, you know, on account of it being the dead of summer in California and everyone and their brother's uncle needs their a/c fixed.
We wake up sweating, sweat ALL day long and go to bed hot and...wait for it...exhausted (hehehe, you thought I was gonna say sweaty.) Heat takes a toll on a person, I'm cranky, hot, sweaty, but wait, there is an upside. With all this sweating my skin looks amaxing, I've lost 3 pounds and we basically go out for dinner each night as it's too hot to stand in the kitchen and cook, plus, restaurants have a/c. I know it's horrible and yes, I've BBQ'd LOTS, but the kids are about to turn into hot dogs and quite honestly my shoes are starting to melt to my kitchen floor, so yea, I'm all about going out for dinner.
I called my mom the other day while I was sitting in the mini van with the a/c cranked on high. Of course I'm complaining and crying about how hot it is and what does she say? What does this Mother of mine who abandoned me and moved to Idaho when they retired, leaving their daughter all alone in the world (except for my husband and boys and in-laws) but Whatever! Guess what she has the guts to say to me?! "Oh geez honey, we don't even have air conditioners in Idaho, it's always so cool here."
WHAT THE F@#!
Yes, so moral of the story is, get you a/c fixed, don't complain to people who live in states where they don't need a/c and by all means, the most important thing I've pulled from this experience...
Live your life on the straight and narrow. Going to Heaven means living in perfect climate control living in Hell means living in my house RIGHT now!
