I want to remember life here in Grenada and not just the part that's beach days, pool days, endless adventure and relaxing. There's perks living here and there some down falls. Of course I really only write about the good stuff because lets be honest, who wants to read about endless laundry, being a med school widow, blah blah blah. Well, I'm going to want to look back years from now and remember not just the good times but the every day stuff too.
Today was the second day of school and the boys were home sick. I knew it was coming because Hank had it and I was hoping it would hit before school started but why would it be that easy. Anyways, as the day went on, the crappier I felt. We were all kinda miserable except Hank. Around 2 o'clock our house becomes a sauna for a couple hours. The sun hits just right and bakes our house. We don't use the ac because well, we can't afford such a luxury. The amount of money it cost to run would blow your mind. Basically in Vegas in the middle of the summer your electric bill would be around $250 give or take on how big your house is and that's running the ac all day. Well, here ours is that much for running our ac about 2 hrs a day and that is for one room. So yeah, we just do without. Today, I said screw it! We all feel like poo so why the heck not! It was heavenly. I even cleaned. There's something about doing dishes and sweeping floors without sweat rolling down your back. I know this isn't going to happen very often but today it made me happy. As silly as this sounds, I felt grateful for all the little things and grateful I even had an ac unit to run. Not everyone here is as fortunate. It's the little things, right?
Love these boys. They are rad.
