As I understand congelatio (Frostbite), the body actually pulls available blood sources from your various non-essential body parts (though I might take exception to some of the body’s definition of non-essential) and moves that to the heart and brain, in an effort to maintain core temperatures and keep the life sustaining organs as safe as possible in extreme conditions.

Today, Jenn is at an all day school function, as she was yesterday.  It happens once a year where her students gather to compete in the New York State School Music Association’s solo festival.  A side note, these brave kids actually play their instrument of choice in front of adult judges who critique their style, sound and musicality…. impressive!

So, like congelatio, I’ve made the executive decision to pull back resources on this 90 degree day and focus on life-sustaining measurements.  I’ve pulled back the resources necessary to dress the boys, clean the house, walk the dog, feed myself and the list goes on.  Today, I’m focused on making coffee and making sure the boys don’t seriously injure themselves.  Is this a sign of a bad dad?  At this point, I’ve pulled the resources necessary to make that determination.  If, God willing, the boys take a nap at the same time, I’ll contemplate that.  Until then, I’ve got to go stop Cooper from riding the dog.  #Keepittogether
