Sounds like summer to me.

We got my daughter a new bike this year, so now all three of us have new bikes. We have gone on several bike rides but the first one was a killer. The second one was pretty harsh as well. We have a small hill we have to go up and it is murder on my thighs. We haven’t been on a bike ride for a few days because of the heat. Also because I had to take my son’s privileges away when he didn’t listen at a stop sign. Then he cried the entire way home because I was taking away his bike time. Let me tell you, that is probably the worst thing you can do to this Mom is to embarrass her in public with your bad behavior. He ended up with four days rather than the one because he just kept acting poorly.
But the heat, oh my gosh, it has been in the high 90s and a few days of over 100! One day last week was 106 and it was miserable outside. So needless to say we’ve been inside a lot or the kids have been in the pool. I’ve only ventured the pool once and then got right back out since it was way too cold for me.
I’m hoping I can make myself get out of bed earlier than I have been so I can get the yard mowed before it gets hot. With the pool and the trampoline in the back yard I sure have a lot less yard to mow and I sure like that. The extra weed whacking I have to do does not even it out in the least. The weed whacking is the part I hate most.
Otherwise, not much is going on. Mostly just chillin’, staying up late, sleeping in late, watching movies together, playing games online and off, swimming, going for bike rides, trying to stay cool and eating horrible foods. Sounds like summer to me.
