it is hot.. hot.. hot.. obviously
yesterday I actually looked forward to grocery shopping.. just for the air conditioning.. apparently me and everybody else had this thought as well.. it was to hot to eat or sleep.. and I even tried throwing in an afternoon nap.. only to wake up way to irritable and hot..
yesterday was a rough one for little miss. Olive.. It started off great.. a 9:45 am wake up.. (due to the fact that she went to bed late in this heat).. than we went out with a friend and ended up having brunch.. which I have come to a new conclusion that I love a nice Sunday brunch when it is cloudy and cold and everyone rushes inside to get out of the col.. and we order sangria and mimosas and eat food that warms our soul..
28 degrees at noon just isn’t the same.. it is hot.. the restaurant clearly did not have their a/c cranked.. our food took an hour.. no water refills.. and the server thanked us for our patience.. I have been “cutting the cord” as far as olives eating goes.. she has started to nibble on little chips here and there.. and she does it well.. so when our food took an hour to come.. I was letting her nibble on the little chips they serve at the table.. umm. big mistake.. she choked.. her worse to date.. no noise.. tears running down her eyes.. I prepared to attempt the heimlich for the 4th time now in her little life span.. when she ended up choking it down while I ripped her out of the high chair.. and than she screamed and choked some more.. it was lodged to low.. my legs were bouncing off the floor.. I could barely hold a conversation.. and Olive scared the crap out of herself.. she would not let me put her down.. she started screaming and wanted nothing to do withanyone but myself.. understandably..
the day than spiraled into a parade of falls.. head bashes into walls.. a tiny nap.. and a very late bedtime according to olives world.. I ended up taking her to Bostons for a quick snack because she would not eat at home in this heat.. not even attempt a bite.. and at work.. she downed a whole meal.. phew.. I was exhausted.. and the daddy was busy at work until almost 9pm.. all I wanted was another person with me to help.. do nothing but sit there.. and help me take care of her.. and me emotionally..
today is day three of this heat wave.. and we are chilling at home.. and going to find a beach/water park/backyard hose.. to keep us cool.. I will take anything these days!
