Sluggo Children, me and the heat

This and yesterday mornings were ridiculous.  I could not believe how slow my kids were at getting ready. I guess we all have been in this position and even been slow in the morning.  It took Lele one hour to get ready. Richard just couldn't seem to keep himself focused and changed clothes a couple of times.  I woke them both up an hour and a half before we were to leave.  I hate nagging.  They both went to bed at 10 pm last night.  It was actually too hot to go any earlier.  I know I had trouble sleeping last night.  We don't have air conditioning, just fans.  All that does is move hot air around.  I woke up several times last night sweating in bed, without covers, and had difficulty getting back to sleep.  I'm sure they had the same problem.

It will be worse when school starts.  I have to get up at 5:30. Right now, I get up at six.  Of course, this whole getting up early experience could be readily solved by moving to Antioch.  But I don't want to move until I get the 'you're permanent' letter.  I guess I should be more mellow and perhaps it's the heat that's making me cranky.

Oh well, cranky is as cranky does.  I need some chocolate.
