Seriously? What did the Midwest and the South do to tick off God? We are melting. We are molting. We are just down right gross and sweaty! Yesterday was the hottest day in 55 years and the second hottest day on record in this area since weather records have been kept - it was - are you ready for this - 106 degrees!! IN THE SHADE!! Miserable. Down right miserable. It was the 6th straight day of temps 100+ and the 13th straight day of temps 95+. BUT GOOD NEWS - we get a break this weekend! Its only suppose to be 96!! WOO HOO! Then back up to 98-100 for all of next week - AGAIN!?!?! I honestly cannot remember or recall such a HOT time. I know its typical for us to have a few 3-4 day HOT spells in August - but we're on day 13 now - only to continue, it looks, for another whole week!
Because the air has been so hot and dry, sinus infections and running rampart around here. I took Sarah in yesterday for a Sinus infection...and three prespriptions later, we left. Poor thing. She is kinda grumpy, too...I think on top of the funk, she's cutting a molar or an eye tooth, not sure which, but I know from experience with Beth that BOTH hurt. Beth also has the funk, but it doesn't appear to have progressed to "infection" yet - so far the Claritan is working okay. I think Beth is a little dehydrated though- we've been fighting leg cramps at night, so I've had her eating bananas and drinking Gatorade A LOT!
Everyone is just down right miserable. Wasn't this a nice uplifting blog entry? Ugh.....

Ugh, I'm there with you! I hate this weather! We're pretty much stuck indoors and it makes my morning sickness that much worse! I can't wait for fall!

Thanks Katie - unfortunately - NO mention of rain OR cooler weather till Saturday (6 more days!). Oh well - we'll just keep doing what we're doing until then. COME ON RAIN!!!
LMAO at the molting comment - our Husky is doing that! It's hot here too, but not that hot! EEK have a popsicle!
Try being 8 Months pregnant with this heat! Icky..... I am so THANKFUL for air conditioning and ice cream! Hope you and the girls are doing well (and Bobby too) We are hanging in there-- 5 more weeks to go!
