Making small talk
So what’s up with the weather?
Monday I was wearing my winter coat freezing my butt off. And it rained and SNOWed most of the day. It was so crappy out they cancelled Skyler & Spencer’s soccer game. You know if was icky out when they cancel soccer. Last week they played in the even freezing-er [umm..yeah, that's a word] cold. I thought my ears were going to fall off it was so cold.
Then yesterday it got in to the 60s. SIXTY DEGREES people. Now that’s what I’m talking about. My co-workers and I discussed taking our laptops out to the park and testing out the new downtown wireless internet. It was a beautiful day out.
But by 7pm it was raining. And not just a little sprinkle here, raindrops over there. It was a downpour. There were thunderstorm watches rolling across the bottom of the screen as I watch Survivor. Plus I think I heard the news say something about tornadoes somewhere.
And today we are back in the forties. With a wind advisory until 6pm.
What ever happened to nice spring weather? In the last few years from March to June you pretty much have to leave your winter clothes out, but also pull out your summer clothes. One day I’m in shorts and a t-shirt and the next I’m back in my jeans and a sweatshirt. It’s really quite annoying.
Last year, Keaton’s championship soccer game was on May 1st and it was freezing out. Many of the parents watched from their cars [wimps!]. And those of us who braved the sidelines were huddled in our winter coats, hats and gloves.
Caleb was born on May 12th. The year he was born we went to brunch for Mother’s Day and I was shivering as we stood in the parking lot talking to my mom, my aunt and my grandma.
It’s ridiculous. I’m going to have to investigate warmer places to live. I’ll be one of those seniors moving to Florida when my kids move out. Only I can’t move to Florida. I can’t handle hurricanes. Maybe California. But they have earthquakes. Hmmm…..I still have a few years to think it over.
