What's Next?

Our air conditioning broke today. We hope to get a new one installed soon because it's way hot here. It took me awhile to realize it was broken. For hours, I kept running around to each vent trying to determine if the air was cool or not. It wasn't.
#1 son had a friend over. I asked both boys continuously if they were getting hot. They said no, but I was sweating. I get somewhat nervous when friends come over because I want them to have fun. So every time I hear one kid saying, "What do you want to do now," I have to work hard not to run into the room and start up a mancala tournament or some such nonsense. After hours of slow going interactions, we headed to one of our nation's premier public pools. During adult swim, I floated along while hundreds of kids shot daggers at me from poolside. As I floated, I watched happily as busloads of campers left the pool area to board their buses to return to their day camps. A mom drifted by and said, "Isn't it sad that those kids are in camp? I bet they've been awake since 6 am and my kids get to sleep in and just hang around and do what they want."
I mumbled, "Yes, summer's supposed to be like that" and picked up the pace of an American crawl. I don't like to lie, but it seemed inappropriate to say to a total stranger, "My kids will be in camp starting Monday. Yay!"
After the pool, we headed over to the orthodontist to find out that Teen Daughter has 2 months more of braces. Then we went to the store to buy Popsicles. When husbandman came home, I was reading a magazine on the couch. He said, "Why are the kids watching Dr. Phil?" I had no good answer so I just kept on reading and Husbandman picked up the newspaper. After Dr. Phil ended, # 1 son plopped down in a chair nearby and asked, "Well, fellow adventurers, what are we going to do next?" His comment sent chills through my spine, the first I'd had all day.
