Where have I been all week? OMG where haven’t I been?  Goodness!

Okay, I’ve been nowhere — I mean, I’ve been here all week, working and falling into bed at 8:45 because I am exhausted, probably from all the working.  Oh and also I have been to soccer — both boys are playing again this year, which means practice two nights during the week and FOUR GAMES this weekend.

Chris and I have been having a contest to see who is being made more miserable by our childrens’ sports commitments.  We’re both at practices on the same nights, and we while away the time exchanging text messages which consist primarily of weather reports.

Her: I am huddled in the car wearing a winter coat and a sweater and boots.

Me: I am sweltering because it is 90 degrees out.  At 6:30 pm.

Her: Did I mention that it is raining here?

Me: Whatever.  I am naked because it is so hot.

Her:  I am covered in a blanket in addition to all the clothes.  Am still cold.

Me: Am being eaten alive by mosquitos.

Her: SO AM I!

Me: Bastards.

Her: They just never die, do they?

I forget, every year, how much I hate fall in Oklahoma; it’s still unbelievably hot here and there are bugs everywhere and shit is blooming all over the place.  My eyes itch so much I’m about to scratch them out with my bare hands, and that’s AFTER taking Claritin regularly for weeks.  Meanwhile, I’m still wearing summer clothes every day, despite the fact that I have a closet full of perfectly lovely fall things, including some kick ass boots that I can’t wait to get out.

Wade keeps promising that “the cold front is coming! this week!” but I think he’s just trying to keep me from losing my ever loving mind from the sweating and scratching.  Good times.

Of course, I don’t currently own a winter coat, because the dry cleaners lost mine last spring, which means that one day I will wake up and it will be  freezing.  I guess there’s always that to look forward to.  And bitch about.
