What’s up with this wild weather? The temperature is 43 degrees and the furnace is on duty again.  I feel like I’ve just been grounded to the great indoors by my parents. “You are grounded to your room ( I mean the kitchen) cause you’re a Mom now and that’s where Mom’s hang out.”

Here’s my punishment:

  • “You will not go outside and do any gardening!”
  • “Also, you will not shop at any garden centers today.”
  • “And don’t even think about checking on your tomato plants!”

For real!

“I know pool opening is May 2nd, but don’t you dare get any lawn chairs or pool toys out. And forget about working on your tan, it’s back to coats and hot chocolate today!”

“That’s your punishment, young (middle-aged) lady,and I’m stickin’ to it.”

To top it off, Rocket Boy has an outdoor soccer game today, that’s nuts! Of course the coach won’t have to listen to the wailing tonight when the kid is screaming from an earache due to the current wind chill of thirty-something degrees. Should I call him anyway, instead of the Doctor’s exchange?

Dear Daughter doesn’t care, she has her private library and her computer to keep her warm. The change in weather doesn’t seem to affect her, she’s bossy whether it’s 90 degrees or 43. It’s been a relief to have the wranglers playing outside and not hearing them at all! The only thing I do hear is the sound of the ball crashing into the siding on the house, but that’s a good thing!

I know, I know it’s just a temporary glitch in the weather, get off the hormonal rollercoaster Mother Nature! Let’s get some stability in this forecast. And let’s do it soon!
