Summer

.. Yep, the season. I couldn't really find another blog to post this on, so I'll do it here.

I'm going to make a list of bad things about Summer. Here it is..
------

1. BUGS!
- Spiders! On the ceiling, floors, and in the basement. We had about 7 or 8 in our house this summer alone.

-Ants. For about 2 weeks in my brother and I's bathroom we had hundreds of ants all over the sink. We had to kill them, and watch them re-inhabit at night time. We finally realized they wanted the water from the sink. So every time we used it we had to wipe up every drop of water, and place little peppermint tea-bags down. (They don't like peppermint stuff)

-Ticks! My little dog had at least 3 on him every time he got to go out and play. I had 1 sucking my blood once; it wasn't "summer fun" at all! My dad had like 2 or 3, and we all had them on us all summer.

2. SUN-BURN!
- We don't even play golf in Summer cause of this. Stefan and I do NOT tan, we burn! And we all had a horrible experience at our cousin's football game last weekend. The sun was SO hot and bright we had to leave. Not even umbrellas helped.

3. THE STINK!
- Do me a favor... Ask someone from your house-hold to go outside in Summer for about 5 minutes or more. Now you stay inside, and have all the windows and doors shut or else this wont work. When they come back in give em' a sniff, and try not to gag.

4. BRIARS!
- Can't walk in the woods, PERIOD, cause of these, and because of bugs, and...

5. PIOSON IVY!
- My little dog is attacked by Summer again >: He breaks out in little pustules every time he goes out. And they hurt him. Just look at him..

He's just trying to have fun. :'[









6. SUMMER CLOTHES!
- I just don't enjoy showing my body off around my family. The floppy short sleeved tee shirts. And the stupid shorts (Which I don't wear but once or twice)... they show my hairy legs.

I'm just at a loss of why so many people like Summer. I have never enjoyed, just ask any of my family. It's impossible to play in! REALLY! Unless your swimming, but I don't like getting naked and soaked for no good reason. Think of all the kids urinating in that pool.
Stefan and I used to play camouflage with our cousins. We stared in Fall, and went through Winter. Then Spring came, and our cousin Jacob got stung on the thumb by a yellow-jacket and we learned then and there; it's just not fun at ALL to play in this weather.
The green-house effect on your car isn't too fun either.

This was just off the top of my head. I may find out more things about Summer/Heat that make our life horrible. I'll edit them in when I can.
I guess I'll pick something I like about it for you though... It's green, and Fall comes next!
