The sun is here and it is miraculous what that round orb of fire can do for the soul. We all feel better because of it. I even went to the zoo and didn't grumble! (OK, I did let out a couple expletives when we were on our way into the zoo and a bird took a dump on my hand. MY HAND. A BIRD FLYING OVER MY HEAD POOED ON MY HAND!) Bacon even got a haircut at a salon by a real honest to goodness hairdresser, and didn't lose his mind! It was truly amazing.
Mr. Tantrum cleaned the barbecue after I told him that I made fun of him for not fixing it. He is ordering parts to fix the ignitor (apparently I did get the wrong one, but couldn't you have told me that SOONER dude?) and replace the grody to the max grills. We actually cooked on it tonight and it was divine.
I almost got my butt kicked when I summed up the part about having to be in a beach house with his CRAZY brothers, because he forgot about the whole "traveling with the cat" thing. When I reminded him of it, with dates and instances, he laughed and admitted that it was indeed weird and a little bit questionable for an adult man to be doing. Especially when said cat doesn't like to ride in the car, has issues with pooing when he isn't at home, and pretty much gets diarrhea the minute it is time to head home in the car!
The sun had Bacon playing in the inflatable pool, and on the slip and slide with squeals and shouts of joy. His giggling and belly laughs were beyond contagious, and the best part of the whole day. I wish I could really rememberthis when he is throwing a fit in Target like a maniac and strangers try to "help" by talking to him. What they don't realize is that in doing that they only send him further over the edge into a bigger pile of screaming 4 year old hysteria.
The forecast calls for more sun and temperatures in the 90's this weekend. Summer is finally here in Seattle, and we are READY. I will not complain about the heat, or the sun, I will enjoy every single minute of the stick to the leather seat heat, because it has been way to cold this year!

Yay, Faith! The good weather has landed. ;-) Am so glad you are able to get outside and not freeze your boobs off.
Sorry about the bird poo. BUT that's what happens when you commune with nature.

I'm very proud of you not bitching too much about the zoo. (Except for the bird poo, but honestly COME ON!) I always think I love the zoo, but it gets old for me after about a half hour. I am prone to bitching any time after that point.
It's hard to remember those great little boy moments when they are in the midst of a full out shit fit. But at least we can appreciate the sunshine and giggles while they are happening!
Of course the zoo was open- for you!
Glad ya had a good day. Every once in a while, the gods smile upon us.
Am quite jealous that it was way too cold for you this year. It was way to hot for me here in Louisiana. Let's review, shall we? Ummm, December was the first hint of cool weather, but we were still in sleeveless shirts and shorts, January was our cold month, and by February it was starting to warm up again. Jeans were necessary but they were paired with short sleeved shirts. Oh yeah, and in March we turned the AC back on and pulled out the inflatable baby pool. Now, in June, it feels like I am breathing under the hottest freakin' water in the world.
I envy you.
:) Fun blog -- it made me smile!
Super yay! The sun is my source I like to say. YAY is such a lame ass comment but I'm tired and it will have to do.
YAY :)
Hugs
