Heatwave

After an unusually cold May, we are off to a bang in June. Today's forecast is for a high of 97 degrees. Umm.....excuse me? It's June 7th, people! Tomorrow's is the same and Monday's forecast is 99 degrees. I'm sweating just thinking about it. It is not expected to be back in the 80's until next weekend; where it will feel downright chilly.

Because of said forecast my wonderful hubby spent yesterday setting up our pool. He knew I would need some kind of relief for the children since I have vowed not to turn on the air conditioning until June 15th. Of course, I made that vowed back in the beginning of May when it was still so cold at night I was begging him to make a fire in the fireplace. Now I'm starting to wonder what I was thinking. My usual goal is June 1st, so I'm happy to have made it farther this year. Luckily we live in an old house that tends to stay cool, as long as I don't open any blinds. Right now it is 95 degrees outside, yet only 78 in the house. It actually feels cool coming in from outside.

Tomorrow we go to our niece's Baptism party. This is my niece's second daughter. It was a rough recovery for her and it will be nice to see that she is finally on the road to feeling better. The party will be in the clubhouse at my parents' condo. It is late afternoon, so it shouldn't be to unbareable. I'm sure I will have the pleasure of taking the kids outside to the playground. It will keep me up tonight with excitement thinking about it. My husband will be so jealous that he has to go to work in an air conditioned building and miss out on it. I will make sure to rub it in his face tonight :-P
