I'm sure I've mentioned, but up here in 'Canadia' (as Major Man fondly calls it... and by fondly I mean very sarcastically) we don't all have air conditioning. Usually there's a few days in a few weeks in a few months that we can use it. So it's not found everywhere... in fact, the only person I know who has it is my mother and that's because my grandmother lived with her for a while and old people and heat don't mix.

So it's been hot here... somewhere in the 30s... which translates to about 90 ... or so Yahoo Weather tells me..

This means I'm slightly cranky because I have three weeks of pregnancy left... and my son is cranky because his mother just does NOT want to go out in the heat... not that marinating in the mugginess of my house is that much better, but I have writing deadlines... this leads to some serious butting of heads.

Actually, most of the day was ok... it just got a little touchy around 3pm when the heat had reached maximum irritation level, I was sweating in places I prefer not to discuss and my son was sweaty-headed and wanted only to eat popsicles.

We had three threats of time outs, one that needed to be enforced. Four quite impressive meltdowns and one early bed time. It took him over two hours to fall asleep, all the while he happily played in bed in the coolness of his bedroom. The bedrooms are all in the basement, thank goodness - if I had to put up with this heat at night I'd go crazy.

Please let tomorrow stay just a little bit cooler... please let the weatherman be wrong about that 90+ high... I may have to go live in the mall for the day.
