It's been scorchingly hot here in Tulsa for weeks now. We can't go outside or even breath (the humidity sucks the oxygen right out of you). I've been brave enough to run to the grocery store once or twice a week at which point all hope for cooler weather is dashed by the locals who seem to delight in my discomfort as they smirk and say thinks like "Welcome to Oklahoma!" Okay...that's probably just the heat affecting my brain...I'm sure they don't wish me any ill-will...but seriously this unrelenting heat really is starting to take its toll on me and I'm afraid my parenting nerves have been shot as well.
To help keep cool I've been drinking massive quantities of smoothies while simultaneously biting my tongue as my daughter rearranges the furniture in our house for the hundred-millionth time every day (she's bored - I can't really blame her). When I came across this quote by Michael Caine just now I had to chuckle at the image it evokes...and it turns out laughter really is the best medicine. I feel cooler and calmer all ready.
Do you have any witty or wise quotes that help you get through a tough day? If so I would love, love, love to hear them. xo Ez
