I hope this won't end up like the Red Balloon

Note to self: Should I ever decide, "hey let's have a third kid", try to time conception so that I am not ungodly pregnant in the Summer.
It is uncomfortably warm and so I am uncomfortably...uncomfortable. I may move into my son's wading pool with a beverage and call it good.

We went out to dinner tonight because I was not going to turn on the stove. Also I wanted to eat somewhere with A/C. So we went out and had a nice little dinner. The server (who made me think of Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles) gave Senor Onion an orange balloon. Senor Onion thought that Jake Ryan was so awesome for giving him this amazing orange balloon. We managed to convince shortcakes to eat some of his dinner. He was just so pleased to have this balloon. Played with it before going to bed and even insisted that it go to bed with him. I am not sure how he is going to deal with the helium in the balloon losing its floatiness. Apparently when Mr. Jenner went to check on him earlier, Senor Onion was holding onto the strap with the balloon floating near his head.
The simple joys of an orange balloon.

I think it is time to lie in the bath and turn into a pruney mess.

The same thing happened to us when we gave Sam a balloon. He loved that balloon and it went to bed with him until the lack of helium rendered it boring. This is from a year ago:



And whenever we get a new balloon, the same thing happens.

Awwwwwwwwww. Yeah that is some serious balloon love.
The balloon has lost its oomph but he is keeping it in his room for now up on a shelf.

If I have sex ever again, I am doubling up on protection during the months of September through February (because I don't want a Scorpio, either).

Wordy mcword.
"Oh like hell am I ever doing this again" goes through my mind. I want to have one of those February/March babies.

Oh yes - I was pregnant in the summer with daniger and I feel your pain. If you were closer I'd offer my air conditioned living room but all I can do is sympathize. It is supposed to get cooler later next week if that is any consolation.

I sit in front of our portable A/C and take a lot of cold showers. I really need to work on timing this stuff better.

Andrew, who is 3 years older than your son, got a balloon from a birthday party 2 weekends ago and named it Balloony. And took it everywhere with him and asked me to take care of it if he couldn't take it with him. I thought, "My god, he has named this balloon. This does not bode well for the day we wake up and Balloony is no longer floating." But he has taken it really well. *phew*

I love the Brian Regan bit where he describes seeing a child lose a balloon and the child breaks down and the parents say, "What's the big deal, it's just a balloon." And Brian Regan says, "It's like if we took our wallet out of our pocket and it just floated away." lol Balloons are very important!

Our balloon is getting smaller and smaller. At the moment Senor Onion has deemed it a baby balloon. Eventually it will be gone.

Balloons are awesome. Though I used to send my balloons to heaven when I was little. I was a weird kid.
