- Frizzy hair
- Sticky vinyl or slippery tile floors (this was a huge problem on the ceramic tile in our Denver house)
- All the open packages of crackers/cookies/cereal turning chewy, mushy gross
- Having to keep the bread and all other baked goods in the fridge to keep from going bad right away
- The yucky feeling of being sweaty as soon as you step out of the shower
- Sweating just by virtue of moving
- Perpetuating the growing mold explosion in the bathroom
- Uncomfortable sleeping conditions
- And the #1 reason--it just plain makes me cranky, which makes everyone else cranky because I've discovered the truth in the saying, "If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!"

Humidity hate list
"It's not the heat, it's the humidity." I don't outright hate many things in life, but the heat/humidity combo is one of them. It's ironic that in the winter I desperately try to raise the humidity level in the house while in the summer I try just as hard to lower it. Anyway, here's a list of reasons why I hate high humidity in the summer...
You said it!! But I'd still take this over negative temps.
ReplyDeletePhil said you guys don't have air (except in Emily's room). I don't know how you do it.. I don't think I could especially with kids. For your sake, I hope you can get air soon... or it will be a long summer. I guess lots of time outside with some water or sitting right in front of a fan. You might have to schedule lots of playdates with people who have airconditioning : )
ReplyDeleteThat is true, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteHeather, we have that wall unit in the living room. By running ceiling fans and keeping the windows & blinds closed we do okay. I have strategically planned outings to air-conditioned places before. :o)
Iryna calls it "humiliation". We tease her about it. When you think about it humidity is humiliating weather in a way. It humbles us. And the sad part is this is not near as bad as it could be!
