It's a Cruel Summer

Posted Jun 25 2009 12:52pm
Have you ever had one of those days? You know, the kind of day where if someone looks at you wrong, you will snap? Yes, one of those days. That was this week for me.

Monday, I took Aiden to school and had to take Chris's watch that I bought him for some holiday - I want to say birthday, but I could be wrong - to the watch repair place for an extra link. Only they don't carry extra links, so I had to buy a new band. Then I met Chris at one of the pet stores because he now owns a 55 gallon fish tank and needs things to go in it. We then went to another pet store because he was looking at stands and the first pet store didn't have any that he liked. We found one at the second pet store. Then we went to another pet store to look at more fish.

After the third pet store, I went to get something to eat and Chris had to be in Downtown Tulsa for a friend's custody hearing. But he ended up coming to the McDonalds where I was at to get my mom's phone number. When he got into my Jeep, he was griping that the air conditioner wasn't blowing cold. Really, I said. With my air conditioner setting at 55*, I was sweating and tried to inform him that something was wrong with my Jeep. I told him to trade me Jeeps for the day since Aiden's heart could not take that kind of heat. But he didn't want to be in my Jeep either.

When I made it to Aiden's school to pick up Aiden, all the fluid in the radiator or reserve tank was now boiling out of my Jeep and onto the parking lot. Chris received a phone call and he immediately exited the highway and came to Aiden's school.

4 hours later, he manages to get my Jeep back home and works on it. I inform him he needs to make sure that my Jeep is in proper working order otherwise I will be putting 3000 miles a month on his never-gets-driven Jeep.

Let's just say he knew I was mad enough that he went to the furniture store and bought me the matching chaise to our living room set. It was delivered yesterday.

Tuesday and Wednesday, Aiden's allergies are so bad that he had to miss school. Everytime he would gag on the mucus, he would throw up. Benadryl wasn't doing the trick, so Aiden has been getting Tylenol Cough and Runny Nose for the past few days. He finally made it through the night last night and went to school today.

The temperature here has been obnoxious. Seriously. Everyday this week, it has felt like 107/108*. Hell is in Oklahoma if anyone is wondering.
