We are in the middle of a terrible heat wave here, terribly humid!  And no AC at home!  Saturday we raced, and I never prayed for rain so hard in my life!  The night started good for us but in our second race the car was overheating and dh had to pull of thinking the motor may be going.  So, yesterday he put the big bore motor on it and ran it around the yard a few times.  The temp stayed where it should, that's a good sign!  So, we are all ready for this Saturday!  I cleaned quite a bit yesterday, watered flowers, and then made a whole bunch of spare ribs and had the kids for dinner.  It was great.  My poor Lily was sick all day.  I thought she got into something.  She kept throwing up.  But then I took her outside and when she threw up again, there was foam around her mouth.  DS said that's what his Lab (Buckshot)does   after they have been out hunting; it means he is dehydrated.  Well, since I had the girls outside with me most of the day, I would bring them in each time I went in but only give them s little water.  She wouldn't eat anyway.  So, we brought her inside and made her stay in our bedroom a while where the window AC is, gave her plenty of water.  Then her crate is in the sunporch (that doesn't really get sun) and there is a window AC unit there.  She seemed herself this morning but still wouldn't eat.  A friend who is a vet tech said give her bread, in little pieces.  So, I did that and she ate the whole slice plus some water. Hopefully by the time I get home she will be back to herself.

I am hoping to get another LO done today, all I accomplished yesterday was straightening up my mess and deciding which of the pictures I printed to use for a few challenges.  Hopefully today I can sit down and get right to work on one of those!

Wishing everyone a greatday!
 

average_kim wrote:Hi, Brandy and fellow cherries! It's good to be back! I slept in this morning and have been doing some laundry and watched a movie with the little kids. Now feeling I need a nap. Catching up on my sleep from this past week at camp- my bestie and I didn't get to sleep before 1:30 or 2:00 most nights. After the kids went to sleep, we planned and plotted the day. There was a set schedule, but we were able to tweak our activities some. Then later in the week, some kids wanted to talk, so that kept several of us sponsors up late, too.

So, I got a card done this morning, and will get it posted soon. I've got to go through and see what challenges I'll possibly be able to complete.... if I'm remembering right, we may not have MMC today...? I think Laura posted the dates of future ones, because she was going to be gone some this month. I'll try to find that thread, but if someone else knows, please let us know. I missed the challenges last time, but look forward to the next ones.

I need to find a place for all my new summer sandals… it's as much of an addition as the scrappy supplies lol! I have a two pager on my table that I was working on last night and I'll be getting back to that sometime later this afternoon.

Brandy your poor dh! Early bedtime for all of you tonight!

Enjoy the "80" degree temp! We were 90 by 11am and our heat indexes are well above the 105 mark!

Yeah our heat index was over 100 on Sat. when we had our church picnic.

So... no MMC?

I finished copy editing a manuscript this morning and finished a double layout, finished a single layout and a card. I have to upload them all. Had to chase the kids away from the computer LOL. This is the only day all week that I will be home all day to scrap so I wanted to take advantage. Now Tues, Thurs, and Friday have been taken over by tennis and on Wed we have the bookworm movie day (they get a free 2nd run movie for the price of a book report - this week's movie is How to Train Your Dragon 2) and DD wants to do a lemonade stand to earn money for our trip to see Weird Al next week LOL!!
