What happened to the Lazy Days...

Well, we are exactly one week into summer. By now I had planned to have slept late at least once or twice. OK honestly, more like all but one or two days. But, this is ridiculous. We have been back and forth across 3 counties almost every day this last week. Up at the crack of dawn and home later and later every day. And, I can't tell you where all the girls have been. I just know that the last couple of days I had one home, then today I had 2 but the last I won't see till sometime Monday afternoon. I just want to know what happened to the lazy days of summer. We seem to have a calendar that is brimming throughout the month of July and into August and it hasn't even got here yet. I think it wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to pay more than 50 dollars to fill the van and then on top of that every time the van leaves the driveway it seems to drink down a 1/4 tank. Aargh, no wonder we always steal Liza's car every chance we get. Maybe we should ban the kids from anything that would require a car. That won't work, we have family in every county but our own. Oh well, it sounded nice.

It's TOO hot. OK, I know it's summer and all but this is ridiculous. We were driving home from one of our county hopping trips to support a cheerleader niece and it was 110 at 6 p.m. So, because it is so hot and I start my job in a week I decided to get my hair ever so slightly cut. So, I go into "cheap hair place" since as noted I start my job next week so I don't have the job funding yet, just the prospect that maybe in the future I can have funds in my wallet that don't jingle. Sorry, I am wandering. Anyway, went in to get my hair cut. Small place, near home, walk in and girl at counter is nice enough. Girl standing with her doesn't greet me or anything, that's fine, whatever. So, She says, Oh, this person will cut your hair. She take me back to her chair and I start to tell her what I want, 1/2 way through she says OK, OK, I got it. Let's go wash. And, that was the last thing she said to me, or anyone else for that matter. What happened to, how's your day, Man, it's hot. Or maybe even, Gee, it must be hot I think you stink. Geez, say something. I was worried at one point that maybe she was carving in the back of my hair. But, nothing, just clip, clip, clip, and then "there you go". OK, next time we bite the bullet and go to the nice place. The hair cut ended up getting revamped when I got home anyway. But, it will be better in a couple of weeks. After all, I just needed it to look a little better for the work badge picture on Monday, Thanks Lady. Oh well, I will look like I was on a tight budget before I started work and now I really appreciate my job.

So, basically it's really, really hot. My kids are wandering all over the county, state or country depending on who you are looking for and I get to start my new job soon. That my friends is my summer in a nut shell. I hope yours is just as fun!!
