Meet Me In The Medium

I am what they title "hot natured" as I tend to find myself hot the majority of the time. This is an interesting aspect of my life because while one would think that my hot nature would affect only me it is quite ironic how it actually affects everyone around me. For example, the weather is changing (FINALLY!!) here in Texas.....last week we were in the 90's and this week we will be in the 70's.....fall is right on the tip of our noses and there is finally an end in sight to the miserably hot days....I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE fall it is my MOST favorite time of year....I love the cool weather during the days and the even cooler weather at night....what I tend to dislike, however, (since I have become a mother anyway) is the transition between summer and fall. For a person that is hot natured this transition time is wonderful to say the least....but as a hot natured mother who is responsible for dressing others it can become quite confusing and rather easy to either over dress or under dress my children. My girls are not hot natured...matter of fact they are generally complaining about being cold (which may have something to do with the person dressing them :-) This is something I try to remember and keep in mind when picking their clothes for the day, but I inevitably misjudge which clothes to choose during this transition time and am usually the mom that gets "the looks" for sending or taking her children out on a cold day without a jacket or putting them in shorts because there is not snow on the ground. I have also found that being hot natured tends to be worse at night....I LOVE to be cold when I am sleeping...I want to have to snuggle up under the covers.....I love to have the fan on full blast blowing cool air all over the room.....but since I am married to someone who is cold in nature and has allergies this rarely happens....my husband HATES air blowing in his face and he HATES to be cold....well too bad for him he married me and I am HOT 90% of the time. We argued about the fan in the beginning but I think we have both learned to compromise and meet in the middle (or medium in this case) as we usually sleep with the fan on medium (well sometimes I patiently wait until after he falls asleep so I can sneak and give that sting an extra pull....I can't help it...I am hot!) But I guess I can live with medium air...after all it's way better than no air at all....now if only my children were old enough to dress themselves some of life's problems would be solved...and the summer to fall transition would be a little easier for people like me.
