Isn't it hard to breathe when it's that hot?

It went from highs in the 60's to 90's and Wednesday it's supposed to be high in 60's. It was 68 degrees at 5:30 this morning and that is usually the high for the day. Maryland weather is crazy. Maybe it will keep the swine flu away

Congrats on the ! Looks like you are on a roll!

Of course this is exactly the kind of weather that makes me sick, so maybe I should be glad that our weather is just hot and hotter.

Thanks for taking care of this! Wow, a group specialist - sounds so important!

I was thinking it sounded like we needed therapy, like a support group.

kids!

What is the going price for dandelion removal? My girls always thought it was picking flowers.

Much harder when it's really dusty or the pool/air conditioning is too far away!

Of course, I got my full taste of travel Burkina style the other day when we had a Congressional delegation visiting from the U.S. We took them out to a village to show them how U.S. taxpayer money is being invested so well. Everything went great - despite the 105 degree afternoon heat. Until we boarded the bus for the 45 minute ride back to the capital...

The air conditioning quit!

We had security vehicles accompanying the bus, so all the delegation members got to move to air conditioned comfort. I stayed on the bus with a couple of the military guys. We opened the windows and just settled in for the ride.

By the time we got home - I felt like I had dust BETWEEN MY TEETH!!! (Picture Rene Zellweger in Bridget Jones after the scarf flies off - that's probably what I looked like - only covered in bright orange dust from head to toe too. )

The things we do for our country!

Well, that goes without saying, doesn't it???

 

[3princessMommy]

Well, folks - it's Burkina bedtime! See y'all!

They want to charge by size .10, .15, .25. We proposed a flat rate of $5 each. they prefer their scale. We are still negotiating.

That brought back so many memories. I too thought they were flowers when I was a kid. I even asked a florist if I could have an arrangement and could they dye them blue! I couldn't understand why she was getting angry at me. At one point I was sent outside to pull the weeds. I figured that anything that comes up without me planting them must be a weed. My mother came home and asked me where the flowers went? Can you tell I'm not a gardener?

I'll pick your dandelions!

 

[WVMD]

I'll pick your dandelions!

I agree!!!

 

[3princessMommy]

Well, just finished my daily big bowl of fresh, tree-ripened MANGOS.

Now, back to the office.

 

[noahsmom]

I'll pick your dandelions!

That's $5 for each boy, not per dandelion!

So, today we had a rain day from school. I truly feel bad for those that had flooded homes or flooded cars, but today was a good break for me - it was the first time I have had a day off all month - this has been a busy month with UIL competitions during the weekends, and getting students ready to take AP exams. So.. today, I got ALL my laundry done, got all my ironing done (yes, I even ironed the T-shirts!!), vacuumed the floors, moved winter clothes out of the closets and summer clothes into the closets, and have a ham in the oven now for when DH gets home. DD went over to a friends to do a Disney movie marathon, and I even took a 45 minute power nap.

I’m grateful for this mini vacation day today.

79 more days to a bigger vacation.....

Where is everyone tonight? Just got home from DD concert. It was beautiful as usual.
