Hey ladies

right now where I live it is the start of summer and already I feel like I can't take this heat much longer. I can't wear any less clothing without being indecent or drink any more fluids without having to move permanately into the bathroom but there must be something else I can do to try a keep cool, at home is isn't so bad as I can have a cool shower or something but at work it is a different story.

Omg, I totally understadn how you feel. I had my son the first day of summer (june 21) but we had a heat wave this yr that started in may. I wanted to die. I would sit in the back yard with the sprinkler running up and down my legs while reading a book or something. I lived in my friends' mom's pool and took lots of showers. Then we finally got an air conditioner too. It was really hard to find one as they were sold out everywhere! Then when my son was born I thought he was gonna melt, he lived in a diaper for 2 months. And all those cute lil clothes we had for him... Well he never got to wear most of them :(. Good luck sarah!

jbron04 - there are a few big fans around the place but I think I might get myself a little desk fan.

Perfectdiamond - I live in new zealand and I would much rather prefer the winter at the moment.
