You are tougher than me. Without a/c here in East Texas I would have to move. The darn 100% humidity does me in.

Yeah, I just couldn't live in Texas due to the heat. It's 70% humidity these days, at least in the mornings. But just an aside, isn't 100% humidity essentially mean that it is raining? :-) I always love it when the a weather webpage states that there is a "100% chance" of rain. If the percentage is 100%, then it is going to rain since there isn't a percentage of it not raining.
September will be here in no time (or at least I keep telling myself that)!
It basically is raining, just a rain that is suspended in the air and quickly attaches it self to you as you walk around. I am looking forward to the weather in September but this also means I go back to work (school teacher), it is a double edged sword.
Enjoy your summer! Teaching is hard work!
I used to give my wife crap about being a teacher and how she just went and hung out with kids all day, so easy. ITS NOT EASY! It is super stressful! Pay to stress is no where near even lol.
Agreed. And I would imagine it is even harder these days then when I worked with kids. I was a camp counselor for several years in the mid-80's, worked at various day cares in the early 90's when my first child was a baby, and then worked in the school system as an after-school teacher, just to name a few. Sadly, I watched as children at the elementary level were being lined up for their before lunch drugs. It was heartbreaking. Now with even more distractions, I cannot imagine how hard it is to keep a child's attention. Have a great summer!
I would homeschool my kids If we had the financial ability to. The public school system is beyond screwed up and I am in a more old fashioned district where we still paddle the kids.
Since I don't have a great relationship with my parents, I chose to be VERY active in my children's lives and because of that the damage that the public school system potentially could inflict was minimized. I feel sorry for the teachers and the lack of support they receive, since there are many that are talented and care about the children they are teaching. I am lucky to have two wonderful adult children...I just wish that this weird liberal agenda that is being pushed on us all at an alarmingly fast rate will hit the brick wall of sanity and reason soon. This daily train wreck on the "news" and in the general media is sometimes exhausting. Sometimes I feel like I am the only sane, normal one but I know that isn't true. The corporate news medias are just twisting everything so that it seems like crazy is the new normal.
