Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!!!



The summer of 2006 was the coolest ever. Temperature wise. I had found out that I was pregnant for our second child in the fall of 2005 and when I figured out that my due date was August, my first thought and statement to my husband was - The minute I break a sweat we are getting air conditioning. I had spent several years (okay since the day we got married) begging for either (really I wasn't picky) an air conditioner or central air conditioning. I hate being hot. I don't like to sweat - and to tell you what I really think - Heat stinks, in the winter you can put more clothes on - seriously, layers, then blankets and if that doesn't work then cuddle with someone. You don't even have to like them much if it is cold enough. But, in the summer you can only take so much off.



My grandma used to sing a song and the lyrics were such



"When it gets to hot for comfort

and you can't buy ice cream cones

it ain't no sin

to take off your skin

and dance around in your bones"



Okay, I digress, but in case you couldn't figure it out, I really, really don't like the heat.



So here I am thinking, he can't say no to me when I am pregnant ( I was still holding the pregnant card - I don't think I ever sent him out for a midnight craving, although he did go with me to taco bell a few times - I had not played it at all during my first pregnancy - I was saving it for this moment), I did a little happy dance in my mind, - I am getting air conditioning, I am getting air conditioning - well 2006 summer in my hometown was the coldest on record and I didn't get air conditioning.


Now she is 12 and I don't think that she even remembers not having air conditioning (I got it for her first birthday) and she is beautiful and wonderful and this is a belated - Happy Birthday Baby, I love YOU!!!!!
