It was soooo hot. I had all kinds of intentions.ie. 2-3 hours on the courts, gardening, math time with my children. I just wanted to get them motivated. I fell to the heat and the laziness of the surroundings. I took Ben to work and got the children out to the courts and by the time I got there, I was already soaked in perspiration. Ethan got a good 15 minutes and everybody else got 20 minutes, before their complaints were heeded by me and I let them go to the swings. There is no heat like this in NY. It is only in the 90's but the air is so thick and wet, it feels heavy when you breathe it.
But the football team at Ben's school, had no problem working out in this weather. They were running and playing. I felt so inadequate. 1 day a week trying to take a day out at the courts and I can only stand 1 hour. We came home and slept for 2 hours and that was it for the rest of the day. We had alot of fun, complaining about adjusting to our new environment. We are full fledge North Carolinians and Charloteans now, having been down here for 4 years. I hope that Ezra will be adjusted to the heat to be able to romp and play in the heat like those little fellows on the football field.
I miss the cool breezes from the ocean. :(
