As much as I don't like to say it, summer is a very difficult season for me.
I know.
Most of you are either not surprised (if you know me) or you are shocked (if you don't know me) by such a statement.
Summer is the busiest month for my husband. He works close to 18 hour days and is on call 24 hours a day. He works weird hours. He finds himself doing weird jobs. He is running a huge machine of a park that must be tended to at all and any hours of the day. My husband is my best friend. There is no cliché about that. He is. We try to do almost everything together so to have him gone so much is painful.
The girls keep me busy...sure, no doubt about that one. But summer is hot and muggy and full of mosquitos that keep you inside. I know you have never thought of NORTH DAKOTA as being hot. Trust me. It is. We have days where it is 100 degrees with 100% humidity. We do.
I don't deal with heat well (this will be the subject of another entry on another day) so many days I am inside while my kids want to be outside. I feel lonely and isolated.
This is exactly what people here in the winter deal with. Cabin Fever. Winter Blues. Whatever you want to call it. I have the summer blues.
Thankfully I am doing better than last year, drinking my shakeology and keeping my body nourished as well as getting in my exercise so I don't get too depressed. But I will admit that I am not a happy camper these days.
Bummer.
