Somehow society turns into a bunch of sweaty, irrational, angry, whiny people who want nothing more than to be left alone. "I'm hot, don't touch me," my sisters favorite phrase anytime of year when she is feeling a bit sticky, has seemed to become the theme for most everyone over the last few months!
People's actions this summer seem to be the opposite of what they are before a pending snow storm...you know how it goes...everyone hustling to the grocery store...buying out shelves of milk and eggs... and good luck getting your hands on a Little Debbie Snack Cake....they are gone too! But during this summer heat, people have turned into hermits...staying inside instead of heading to the pool, cueing up Netflix instead of going to local outdoor concerts, forget going to the zoo or taking the kids to the park. And the grocery store...please, I have never seen more creative meals coming out of families using up what they have in their pantry. Tell me you haven't had the thought of feeding your kids cereal for dinner, a popcorn and string cheese casserole, or better yet, the ever creative cheese wiz, artichoke hearts and chicken sprinkled with a crushed cracker topping! Yum Yum!!!
I bet 99% of the people who complain incessantly about the frigid temps we have had the last few winters are the same ones who are complaining incessantly about the heat dome that is cooking Oklahoman's like a steak on a grill, without the char lines of course! But, oh how I bet you are wishing for those cooler temps. If you think about it...when you look out your window it looks the same now as in December....dead grass, no flowers, fallen leaves everywhere....only difference is 100 degrees! How hot is it out? Well, Satan has officially started charging us rent!
If the old addage holds true...there will be a spring baby boom this coming April and May!!
The moral of the story: Suck it up people....it will cool off soon enough!
