awww hell noes

I was in the kitchen late this afternoon, getting things ready for dinner, when I glanced at the weather station I got my husband for Christmas. My jaw nearly dropped through the floor when I saw the outside temperature reading at 91 degrees. In the shade. That's gotta be wrong, right? Sure, it was a little warm when Kathryn and ventured to the park this morning, but come on. I'm just going to blame it on the fact that I didn't get the $100 weather station. The cheap one must not be as accurate. That's what I'm going to keep telling myself. I know, I know, I said I couldn't wait for summer, but honestly. A few more weeks of cool temps would be nice.

Speaking of the park, we met a nice lady and her little girl when we there. I think. If you know me, you know I'm not the most social creature, but I'm trying hard to become more outgoing and friendly, especially when it comes to fellow mothers with kids around Kathryn's age. So I was trying to make conversation and be chatty, asking about the lady's daughter and where she lived, blah, blah, blah. She didn't seem very interested. Maybe I was boring her. Maybe it's because I looked like Farmer Beth in my overalls with no makeup and my ratty hair pulled back in a ponytail. Or maybe I'm just paranoid that no one likes me and it's all in my head. Yeah, that's probably it.

And, speaking of being more outgoing and social, Kathryn and I are headed to one of those toddler gym places tomorrow morning for a free trial class. I'm sure I'll have some fantastic stories afterwards for your reading pleasure. You know, if I survive having to socialize with the other parents.
