I am Superwoman this morning. I have super powers and can conquer the world this morning. Watch out world-here I come!
Can you tell I got sleep last night? 5.5 wonderful hours of sleep. Right now, the magic formula seems to be yoga, stair step, heat packs on my back, the herbal stuff from Target, Sleepytime tea around 8pm, and a fan running full blast on the bed at night. I went to bed around 10pm and woke up at 3:30 this morning. I have to admit that, after getting up at 2am for the past week, I already feel like I'm getting a late start on my day. Especially with this heat, I haven't minded getting up so early to start laundry and stuff while the house is as cool as its going to get. But I am a very happy camper this morning.
Sam and I went to see "Expendables 2" yesterday. I'm glad we went together, because we ended up having a lovely time. The movie? Second best movie I've seen this summer. Its actually pretty darned funny. And after the first Chuck Norris scene, I whispered to Sam, "can I stand up and just start clapping?" I got a hand clamped down on my arm to keep me in my seat. What made it even more fun was that we had a really good crowd in the theater who enjoyed it just as much as we did. I'm planning to go see it again as soon as I can. After the movie, we went to guest services and got our tickets to see "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in IMAX on 9/8. They are doing a marathon of all the movies which I would have loved to go to, but with all of Sam's band stuff going on, he couldn't commit to spending seven hours in a movie theater right now. Then we went out to our favorite Greek restaurant for lunch and more air conditioning while we did our standard movie debriefing.
The heat wave continues. 11 fans running yesterday. Its suppose to start cooling down a degree a day according to the weather wizards. The pets are really feeling it. I froze in the theater yesterday, but it felt good. I was taking out the trash around 5pm yesterday and my neighbor popped out. We decided it was too hot in our houses and ended up on the patio for a couple of hours drinking icy cold water and munching on cold strawberries for dinner. There was a nice breeze there. It was even too hot to sit on the deck-no breeze there.
Sam actually talked quite a bit about the Mandie situation yesterday. I asked him if he had held Tristan and he said yes, once, because he got dumped in Sam's arms. I told him that I got it. Sam has never been around a baby and, to him, Tristan is just a baby right now. I told him not to worry, in a couple of years Baby T is going to be a lot of fun to be around and he will enjoy him. I guess Andie is in a good frame of mind right now and they are really getting along. I told Sam this makes me very happy to hear and it does. What I didn't say was that I've seen her go through these periods-they last about 2 to 3 weeks. I'd get really optimistic and then something would set her off again. I hope, for Tristan's sake, that this will last. I know that all relationships have their ups and downs. Yet, not to the extremes like I got to witness for the year that they lived here with me. But I can't help but wonder if part of the reason things are going well is that I'm out of the picture. I still feel, at this time, me keeping my distance is the best thing I can do-no matter how hard it is. Okay, enough of that.
Going to start my laundry and do my yoga before the sun comes up and starts warming things up again. I've got a couple of errands to run this morning. I'm going to see if I can get my hair cut somewhere, since Andie is out of that picture. I'm thinking about heading over to Sea World this afternoon. I really want to go play with my new camera and I can only take so many pictures of the cats. Sam has ADD, so doing things like amusement parks with him is kind of like doing it on fast forward. He can't sit through shows, we look at something for a few minutes and then he wants to move on. I want to go stand and stare at the jelly fish and sea horses in the air conditioning for a while-now that's relaxing!
I guess Sea World would frown if I tried to bring in a lounge chair and make myself comfortable for a while.
It may be hot here, but not hot enough for me to sit in the front row of Shamu stadium and get hit with 32 degree water. I did enough of that when the boys were little and that is not relaxing. But I will sit up at the top and catch a much needed breeze.

Glad you got some sleep. It's amazing, isn't it?
Sounds like the girl could be bi-polar, maybe? Sorry, I don't know the background and it is all a bit confusing.
Hope it cools down soon! It was in the low 60's here this morning!
@suzyQ_darnit - I have sort of thought about the bi-polar thing myself. I know very little about it, but am going to do some research on the internet about it. The other thing my friends and I are wondering is, is she a prime candidate for post partum depression? Its miserable here again today. Please think of me when you look at your thermometer. Sometimes having a palm tree in your backyard just isn't worth it.
@leopardditz - I think the palm tree will seem a little more worth it when we are shivering miserably during yet another snow/ice storm!
@suzyQ_darnit - could you imagine my palm tree covered with your snow? Now that makes me laugh!
@leopardditz - that would be a mighty unhappy palm tree! And a mighty surprised leopardditz!
I'm seeing it Friday!!!!!
I burst out laughing at your comment about getting a late start to the day at 3 30 am:) that is some heat you guys must have? I have a dumb question but I thought everyone had air conditioning in the the southern states? I'm excited to see the Expendables 2:) you're right - a good crowd can make such a difference while watching a movie!
