THANK YOU

Bless ALL 9 of you for replying to my last post.

It did my heart good to know that someone reads The Wood Gang's blogspot.

Terrible of me, REALLY, because why do I care if anyone reads it or not?

But it's like anything else, you want to feel like someone CARES.

And really, this blogspot isn't anything fancy, just a place that I use to write down my thoughts and try to convince myself we are "normal", (whatever that is).

And honestly I haven't convinced myself yet....that's why I keep writing.

I awoke at the crack of dawn this morning, in our VERY warm house. The monsters laid with no covers on and the baby just in her diaper, they were also VERY warm. As I sat sipping on my Cup of Joe, I couldn't help but think of my Grandma Chuck. The lady that lives way out in the country, in a very large 2 story farm house with NO AIR CONDITIONING. Made me think that if we never had it in the first place we wouldn't be missing it so much now. I remember as a kid, spending the night in the dead of August at Grandma's, it was alway VERY warm. The smell of the farm would linger through the windows of the house. Grandma would always run one small floor fan on HIGH, us kids would sit in front of it, trying to cool ourselves, while we talked and made funny noises into it. Really, it has done my 3 monsters well this week to go to bed HOT, for goodness sakes my grandma has been doing it for over 50 years.

Have a GREAT weekend.

We are Iowa State Fair bound at noon today!
