Summer days

Yeah, it's been FLIPPIN' HOT the past few days and I'm seriously ready for summer to be over! The humidity is what really kills me.. even at 8 p.m. you're still sweating like a pig because it's so humid. Although, I'm quite happy that we haven't had any hurricanes so far this season. It was a year ago on the 29th that Katrina hit New Orleans and I believe around September 23rd will be a year that Hurricane Rita hit us. Just another month or two and then it's smooth sailing!

Speaking of heat, something has really been bothering me lately. It seems like every other day or so we're hearing about someone leaving their infant/child in their vehicle. Now, I know people make mistakes and can forget things at times but, SERIOUSLY, how do you forget that you have a child in the backseat?!? I really don't understand it.. really. I mean how can you even just leave your child in the car while "running in" to get a few items?? Maybe I'm clearly missing something here but it seems mildly [to put it nicely] retarded to me.

So, we're still on a house hunting mission and not really having the slightest bit of luck. We looked at ONE house and found out that it had flooded four times in the past 6 years. Yeah, NO THANK YOU! I was a bit upset about that though because I really, really liked the house but my Momma [aka life saver :)] talked sense into me and helped me get over it. Although, I'm at the point now where I could say to hell with buying we'll just rent for the rest of our lives! Ugh, looking for a house is a serious pain in the tush.

I am SO ready for Halloween! I love that time of the year and the whole atmosphere that it brings. I guess I'm more excited now because Mad's is old enough to somewhat realize what's going on and I get to play dress up with her, lol! Although, we won't be doing the whole going trick-or-treating thing yet unless it's family. Oh, and it's the time of year that I can eat ungodly amounts of yummy candy! Bring on the fatness.
