Did I mention that it is HOT?

I hate it here ... who ever decided that Michigan was the place to live is NUTS! I grew up in California where it could easily get to 117 some summers but the heat here is sticky and did I mention that ... I hate it? Isabelle and I went for a walk this afternoon with Matthew (he rode his bike) and I had to turn around after 35 minutes because I was so hot. I guess I will have to go in the evenings.

I still have at least 2 more weeks here and today it feels like forever. Ben and Danielle will be here next week and I haven't decided if that will help the time go faster or not. Laura talked about going to the outlet mall (its 2 hours away) again when Danielle gets here and leaving Isabelle and Matthew here with Dan. I said that I didn't feel comfortable leaving her with someone when I was that far away. She doesn't understand why I feel that way so she asked what I was going to do when we go to Hawaii next year. I said that Isabelle will be older by then and it should be better. That was the best "reason" I could come up with. I don't think it satisfied her but its not like she can make me leave my daughter behind.

Well, now I am rambling on about nothing so I am off to go sit in front of a fan (one that you dare not leave on when you walk away from it because it uses to much energy and is useless if you aren't in front of it) and read my book.

Wow, I feel so bad for you. I am sorry. I know how you feel. I had to go through all that type of stuff when I was still with Shannon. I hate when it feels almost like walking on egg shells and you dare not let one break because who knows what will happen next.
I really hope it goes very fast for you so you and Isabelle can quickly get to your own place and space.
I miss you.
