Yellow Haze
Tuesday, July 29, 2008 12:02:32 PM
I am truly excited! It is dark and rainy outside, therefore lowering the temperature! It has been so hot lately that it feels as if the air is going constantly. As the air is running I feel the money slipping out of the window before it is even in our hands! It makes me cringe to think our electricity payment double ALMOST tripled last month. Everyone I called had the same report.
"Ours doubled"
"Ours went up"
"My husband has gone insane"

Ok.......So it is not enough that they raise gas prices....but now they stick it to us with electricity as well? I think that 'they' want us to sit at home and burn up. But see, I am rebel. I go outside and burn up.
There are few days left before school starts around the end of August.....I am so ready for the kids to get back into a routine. My teenager is staying up all night and sleeping during the day and I can't stop it!!
I even went into her room last night and she was up chatting with friends. FRIENDS at 3 in the morning! That means that THEY are up as well....so that made me feel a little better. Not.
I stayed with her and actually fell asleep in bed beside her. We talked about silly things and laughed really hard making 'retarded' faces at each other. When I started to doze off I remember her calling me boring for falling asleep.
Sorry girlie! I can't do the all night thing!
Just stopped blogging to take the trash bin to the curb....it's still raining in a slow fashion but I hope it keeps at this pace for a while to deeply soak everything.
I am enjoying my coffee and thinking about working on a knitting project that just needs to be finished off.
Will post pics later of course.

Backyard sky line full of trees.
The yellow color in the air was hard to capture...
I was a little disapointed, in this last pic there is no sign of rain....and it has actually stopped now.

I will send some more rain your way! It rains almost every single day!
We have broken records this summer so far. Today is actually supposed to be sunny..but they are calling for rain tomorrow AGAIN!
Oh well!
I hope you get your sweeties into a routine again...I really don't want to think about back to school..it's been so busy here with my hubby's new job--working midnights...and just extra stuff..we need a vacation!
Take care!

Yes we will take all the rain you want to send. Except south of me in South Padre Island...they had hurricanes.
I have been thinking about back to school all summer...slowly buying school clothes and supplies.
Hi Rose, thanks ...I took it in 'widescreen' mode.
Carol,

2 that in turn raises groceries
3 because of bills not as many people go on vacations, or they take shorter ones
4 more people are home during the hottest months of the year, so there more usage of air conditioners-which in turn raises your electricity bills. but wait, we're not done. guess what happens in the winter, thats right people we're hit with heating bills, and with gas and oil prices the way that they are we are sure to see people paying record prices to heat their homes. btw, if u guys never hear from me again then u know that "the man" got to me. peace out!

Oh, teens have a mind of their own... And they are young, their body adapts easier than we, old ppl. Uh, not...
Hope u get some piece of mind for when school reopens... But I doubt u'll be peaceful for very long, iMom. The girls will sooner or later find something to do that'll make u freak anyway!

My son stays up all night and is asleep during the day as well. He's being doing that for years. We tried to fight it at first, but now we just let it happen. :shrug:
Lovely pictures! Is that your front yard?!

Jose, maybe because your parents pay the bill.
Mine is high because #1 I have a sucky electric company that wanted me to pay .20 for the first 500 kw, .21 for the next 1000 kw, and .22 for 1500 kw and I use almost 2000 or more a month.
#2. I have 4 girls
#3. I have 4 girls (they like clothes, dryers use lots of electricity.)
I need a clothes line
Marcus, It is cheaper to HEAT our house than it is to cool it. See above.
