We've had a very strange summer weather-wise in Massachusetts. Normally by now, we would have had 10 or 11 days over 90 degrees, but this year we've only had four. The majority of those were in the past few days, which is what brought about this feeling of guilt.
I Confess . . .
Even though it was awfully hot and humid during the past few nights, I made my children sleep with just fans on and no air conditioning (except for the one night that my husband insisted). The reason I don't want them to use the air conditioner is because it is loud and we would have to keep the kids' bedroom door mostly shut. Even with a monitor, I am paranoid that we will not hear them because we have our own window and ceiling fans on. So that's it. I make them sleep with using just fans even though I know they'd be more comfortable with the air conditioning just because I am nervous I won't hear them well enough to wake up if they needed me.
If you're a mom who needs to get something off her chest, visit Victoria at Life Starring the Kids and Me to play along!
I can understand that; we don't have air conditioning either. We don't live in a really hot climate either, though.

I think I can sympathize with you, and honestly don't think your deed necessarily needed confessing to. If that's the worst you've done, you're an excellent mommy! I was exhausted the other day while picking up the house and getting the kids ready for bed. When I got up the next morning and started the laundry, I found a dirty diaper in my laundry basket with the clothes. Oops! Can I blame that on the pregnancy? lol

Yep, weather in Beantown has not been fun this summer. I work Mon - Fri and it seems like every weekend the clouds come rolling in and I don't get to enjoy my backyard and pool.
