I don’t really have much to report today. It’s so hot out, it’s really unbearable. The humidity today was off the charts. The girls and I pretty much just hung out inside today trying to escape the heat. So, it was a pretty boring, typical day. Wake up, breakfast, play, break up fights, eat lunch, nice long nap, snacks and wait for daddy. We had some pizza for dinner, Amelia’s favorite, and then Christian decided he wanted to do some of our outdoor chores. So, we attempted it. We emptied the bug infested sandbox, got rid of the sand, washed the box out and planted some grass seed where we had the box. Christian clipped back the tree…it gets pretty out of control! We all sweat through our clothes in record time, only saved by spending a little time in the sprinkler (which was supposed to be watering the new grass…).
Finally, it was time for baths (DEFINITELY time for baths) and bed. The Governor called a special session around 3:00PM today. By bedtime, they had passed 5 of the 12 bills, and were hoping to pass all of them through the night. So, we’ll see what the status is in the morning. It’s looking like this thing will all be coming to an end at some point tomorrow, and we’ll be called back to work this week yet. I have definitely mixed feelings about it, personally and as a citizen. The budgets they are agreeing to are not good for the state, and we’re going to end up right back in this same position in two years, and that is very frustrating. But, what can you do?!
Olivia was being a great helper while Christian was clipping the tree, and I wanted to snap a few pictures. Unfortunately, because of the humidity, I couldn’t keep the camera lens clean enough to even snap one! Gross. This was the result…
