Unless you’ve spent the last few weeks in an air-conditioned bunker, you probably realize we’re experiencing a fun little heat wave around here. Of course, there are lots of frustrating things that are associated with the extreme heat, but have you thought of the positive things?
Personally, I’ve found that the heat is a super handy excuse. So far, I’ve blamed the heat for:
- Not cooking much.
- Letting my kids watch too much television.
- Eating ice cream more often than usual.
- Spending too much money on indoor entertainment.
- Ignoring outdoor chores.
- Skipping indoor chores.
- Going to the pool.
- Not going to the pool.
Of course, I haven’t been using the heat to just ignore things I should do. I’ve also enjoyed the fact that the heat lends itself to a slower pace. We’re staying home more and doing simple things like playing board games, reading, and drawing. I like it.
I won’t lie though, I’m still really, really looking forward to the fall!
Have you blamed the heat for anything? I’d love to know.
