{Virtual Coffee}

Hello there, my coffee drinking friends.

Happy Tuesday morning to you and thank you for joining me here in this little spot for coffee today.

I am having my coffee early this morning n the front porch before it gets too hot.

I thought this summer I would finally be able to get into a better habit of waking up early to have some alone time before the kids are up, but I'm really struggling with it. The main reason is that I am still not sleeping great, I have a really difficult time falling asleep at night and then can barely drag myself out of bed in the morning. More on that later though, if you're lucky you might be treated with a

 "Mrs. Bramer Sees A Shrink" post later this week. 

I bet you will be on pins and needles waiting on that one, huh?

So, if we were really meeting for coffee this morning...

we would immediately be bitching discussing the weather. Oh my, is it hot. 

Hot and humid. Over 100* with the heat index. Ouch.

It is the kind of suffocating heat that almost takes your breath away when you walk outside. 

I keep telling myself that it won't last forever and thank you Jesus for air conditioning. 

Seriously.

Friday we went to the Beach just as we had planned.

It was a great time, just me and the kids. Perfect beach weather, hot and sunny but not too hot.

The kids had a blast. We were in the water most of the time with a little bit of playing in the sand.

We spent most of the day there, stopped for a fancy dinner at McDonald's on our way home and by bedtime we were all completely exhausted. And sun burnt. Well, Wyatt and I were. I think that was the longest period of time we had been in the sun so far this summer, and apparently I did not re-apply sunscreen enough. I did use SPF 50 though, I swear. I am usually good about covering myself because although I would like to have a little color,  I am too old to be sun-worshipping,
those days are long gone. I forgot how painful a sunburn can be!

This morning we are headed to the Children's Museum.

The kids got free passes from the Summer Reading Program at the library and that is on our 

Summer List, too so we should be checking that one off later today. 

Oh-and speaking of the library? 

This mama is doing so good with her new-found library responsibilities, you guys would

 be so proud of me. Hope you all have a great day, thanks for coffee and make sure and link up!
