Cranky McCrankerpants...

No, I'm not talking about the kids now.  I'm Cranky McCrankerpants.  Richmond has been knocking down old heat records right and left and I'm so damn over temps at 100+ BEFORE the heat index is factored in.

Today it's mid-90's and the crazy thing is that it actually feels nice outside.  Tomorrow thru the w/e are slated for mid-80's.  I'll probably need to break out a sweater.

Patrick had crap croup last week - again.  The bark is gone but the cough is wet and obnoxious and bad at night and keeping us up at all hours.  Natalie argues and argues and argues and argues.  I'm running out of good retorts and have resorted to the age old parental standby of "because I said so".

Jame was on my last nerve yesterday but I managed to avoid a fight by not saying much of anything last night.

I should have something more fun to post soon.  I've been making jewelry and Nat is getting her hair cut.  Despite my heavy heart I'm sure she'll look beautiful with shoulder length hair.  So, til then, enjoy this poor rendition of me vs the sun.
