KADATEN how are you? How is Tampa? ( you are in Tampa right? I'm losing my memory!!) Hot and buggy just like here. We had one of those "palmetto" bugs (fancy named for a huge flying cockroach) on our cathedral ceiling last night and he got into the beam. now he is up there and I am scared he will crawl out and fall on me while I am sitting on the couch.! ugh
ODD good to see our tagteens. Tell
my skimming buddy to stop by and say HI!
Lots to do today. Sam is going to work and I've got some major unpacking to do before I call the bug guy to come out. I cannot live in Fl forever unless I get hypmotized or something to get over the fear of those bugs. Help!!!
I will not be afraid, I will not be afraid.....

Well, I'm good

NOWHERE NEAR unpacked.....but good. Tampa is suiting us well.

And well, Tampa is HOT and BUGGY! 100º+ heat index nearly every day

We cope with that by going to the pool every morning for 2-3 hours

Then hibernating indoors during the heat of the afternoon.... Buggy....luckily no palmetto bugs (yet) but lots of spiders

and ants. Already caved and called the bug man who will be here every 2 months
Already been to WDW for 2 Saturdays and spent last Friday through Wednesday there, too

(And let me tell you, do NOT stay at the Wyndham Palms Resort, but that's another story.) Walt celebrated his birthday there!

Fun trip, though the kids could have been a little less cranky....but I think the heat was getting to us all....

Kids had orientation yesterday and start school on Monday! Maybe then I'll be able to unpack some of these boxes and get some stuff up on the walls.....
SO, how's FL treatin' you? I think I read you had some trouble with the hurricane, but couldn't find the post with details... Is everything ok??? Everybody and everything (house) make it through safe and sound, I hope!
