Hot, Hot, Hot

So this morning at 2am and at 6am, my daughter puked up all the raspberry juice she had drunk all day. Since we just moved and our washing machine is non-existent, I had to throw her favorite blankie in the tub and then try to explain (in the dark) why she couldnt' have her wet blankie back until tomorow. The only good thing about the heat was that I stuck that puppy outside and it was dry in no time. I slept on the floor with her for a while and then finally went back to my bed when my left hip went numb.

She must have given me something too because I haven't felt well all day. Anyway, we went for a walk at 9AM this morning because in my mind, I thought it wouldn't be THAT hot at that time. Yeah right! It was a sauna. We walked to the path behind our new house and got to the train bridge. The nice thing is that the train bridge has a little path down to the river and we had our own little science lesson there. We saw guppies and tadpoles and a lot of MUD! My son at first didn't want to take off his shoes and go in...but it didn't take too long and he was sloshing around in the river. It was fun to watch. We also ate the honeysuckles along the path. I felt very "crunchy" which I am not...I leave that to my sister and her family:-) The walk over was NOTHING compared to the walk back especially since I was pushing the stroller with my son and holding my daughter. I was dripping sweat by the time we got back and into the air. Thank God for air conditioning though. I don't mind spending the money for the air now. It's all worth it. It's also worth it because my children were tired and took nice long naps.

I have now had time to put dinner on, vacuum the LR, DR, couches, stairs, runners, and bare floor. This is probably more cleaning in one day than I did all year while I taught. :-) Of course, I cleaned yesterday, but my husband didn't even notice. Again, he won't notice because much of what I did has already been destroyed by the kids. Well, I should go now and see if I can wipe anything else down.
