Sweaty Story

If you know me, even a little bit, you know how much I hate to be hot. Heat and humidity make me a very grumpy, unhappy, and sweaty person. So, I just have to share this little story about the night before last.

Our air-conditioner was broken, and I went to bed early. I was trying to sleep with the windows open, multiple fans blowing, and wearing as little as possible. It took a while, but eventually I fell into an uncomfortable sleep.

Sometime in the night, I felt the mugginess closing around me, and I yelled, “WILL YOU JUST GET OFF ME!” at my husband…

…who was downstairs at the time.

Yep, I was SO hot; I thought Brett was trying to sweat-hug me, and HE WASN’T EVEN IN THE ROOM!

Hopefully, this gives you a little insight into what living with me when I am too-hot-for-comfort is like…and now I’m sure you see why my loved ones endeavor to keep me cool!

P.S. – I slept wonderfully at Mom and Gary’s last night in their spare room. It was blissfully cool, and they even had a fan set up for me! God bless the indulgent!

P.P.S. – Sweetest thing? Seriously? This morning when I got up, I discovered Mom made a lunch for me to take to work. Say it with me, “Aww…” (I know, I know…I’m one spoiled chick!)

What's a Mom for anyway? Spoil her one and only! Right....Right

Moms are the best spoilers. Once when we were over at my mom's and she was on a long phone conversation, I dared Darren to write her a note saying, "Lois, please get off the phone and make me a grilled cheese sandwich." He did and SHE DID!

I bet you had a good lunch too! :-)

It is ok to be spoiled when you are an adult. We are under such pressures, right?? Someone (or two) needs to spoil us. Hope your air gets fixed quick.
