beastly

yes, it's BEASTLY...beastly hot.
doesn't that phrase just say it all?
this past weekend's weather has been like a beast.
an uninvited guest.
now, i should start this post off by saying that i am SO grateful that we have a house...I AM! and that i ADORE this house, but if there was one thing, in this moment i would fix, well, that would be our air conditioning.
we were told when we moved in last september that the air conditioning and heating system worked fine. well, not having to use the air, we took it as fact. i guess i should have suspected something may not be correct with the whole system when we had to up and get a new furnace last winter...but we didn't really get around to trying the air.
this summer has been fairly cool, and we are trying to save money, so we haven't used the air, and up until this past week (where i've had to walk around in my underwear)i hadn't been dying for it. but i'd love some cool air now.
apparently the compressor or something doesn't work correctly, and it'd be like $2000 to fix? no can do.
guess what? i can honestly say...i miss winter. it's totally true. i love the 4 seasons and right now i be so happy for a chilly day where we need to stay inside and bundle up.
ahhh. perhaps if i imagine it, snow will appear to cool down the house.
wait for it...wait for it...........................
nope. still hot.
you know, i didn't grow up with air conditioning, and we only had central air in but one of our 4 previous rental places, so i should be used to it. and i normally am, but the beast is out this week. tim has noticed that i'm not-so-pleasant when i'm hot. i actually have to agree with him. i didn't it was true, but yesterday after we came home from church and were just sitting around in front of the fan, i was not a big fan of anything, but as soon as we got into the car with the cool air blasting on my face, my mood instantly lifted! haha. what do you know?
oh man, i think of my poor baby (if he's born yet) in ET. is he a sweaty little mess like his big brother cale? i wonder if it's that hot over there right now? i'm sure it gets beastly hot over there too. poor guy.
cale sweats like a full-grown man. he's a stinky little thing. he even has a buzz cut for the summer, but still...even walking around in his diaper he's dripping sweat. i wonder if this weather has started his obsession with fans? you know, he can play with a fan for hours. and i dont mean that he sticks his fingers in them or anything (i'm watching him), but all day long he turns them off and on "fan off? fan on? fan on low. fan on high. big fan, little fan"...etc)
what would we do without fans? i know my mom says fans just "blow the hot air around" but i think they're a Godsend for days like this. we all 3 sleep with them year round, but that's mainly for the noise. i can't imagine if one broke! i know i'd instantly go out and get another.
funny story. i went to a garage sale with cale. a bunch of assorted stuff, and while there were other little kiddies there playing with toys, my son spotted something gray. a little box fan the size of a cheeze it box (one of my favs). he grabbed it as if it was the toy of the century, and tried to march out to our car with it. when i told him we didn't need a fan...whoa! he was not happy! what a crazy little man! i must say, if i had the extra cash i probably would have gotten it for him, but we really dont NEED another fan right now. i think we have at least 4.
well, i'm going to close. what a random post. i guess while we're waiting for our referral (and no new news is coming our way), you'll be reading alot more blog posts about randomness.
that's it. a blog about the ugly weather.
