It's 30,000 degrees in Oakland and I feel like shit
Sometimes, when it's really hot, my hands and feet get all puffy. Sometimes I break out in hives from the heat. I had planned to go to Blondie's house tonight, as he has air conditioning, but T-Dizzle said that her girlfriend is leaving early tomorrow, so I figured I should be around to comfort her, plus I haven't seen L-Dawg for a couple days.
So, I stayed home and suffered through the heat and now I'm puffy and rashy and I spent all of about 10 minutes with each kid before they tuned me out as teenagers do. And they hogged the computer, so I couldn't even skype the blond man (his phone bit the dust yesterday). That'll learn me to try to be a good mom. I shoulda gone for the AC!

You have my sympathy...it sucks to be burning with heat related discomfort, and not having any fun.
I hope it's cooler tomorrow.

Such annoyingly classic teenager behavior!!! Or is it classic annoying teenager behavior? Possibly both. Must remember this when T is that age.
Hope you get some relief from the heat-- either via the weather cooperating (how often does it get bad in Oakland? The weather this summer has been hellish everywhere it seems) or Blondie's AC. I only get uber-cranky when it's all hot and humid here, and that's bad enough.

I hate when the weather goes from cool to HOT. I always get sick, it's like our bodies can't deal, physiologically, with that abruptness... ick.
i am NOT looking forward to these years. i'm anticipating feeling so rejected. maybe you can take pictures of your puffy self and email (text, i guess) them to your kids with the message that you chose to be with them and this is the result. taking a play from Lil' Filth's book, she once took a picture of herself crying over something i had said, and saved it as my desktop.

it doesn't get bad very often, but it went from 2 weeks of 60 degree weather to BAM 100 degree weather.
