A Hot One

Even without humidity, the heat this week can be a bit overwhelming.  I must remember to water the plants this morning so they don’t droop horribly…  But I still summer! 

Yesterday’s “party” went really well, but I did too much.  Before the girls arrived, I went to the grocery and then made chicken salad.  Then I cleaned up the kitchen, swept the kitchen floor and quick-cleaned the bathroom.  At just after noon, Autumn and baby Luke (5 months) arrived.  At 12:30, Kate and Katie came with Katie’s daughter McKayla (9 months). A few minutes later, Bev and Landon (9 months) arrived as well. 

We played with the babies, had lunch, and generally enjoyed not being all by ourselves at home for one day.  We talked, regrouped, talked some more, regrouped, talked some more, and finally had to break up the fun. The first group left about 3:00 and the last two left about 3:45. 

After they left, I sat on the couch and watched television.  Too much work and too much standing made my hips and feet really hurt, so I just did nothing for the rest of the day.  Eric and I spent a lazy evening, and I was ready for bed at 9:00.  Fantastic!

Today I have only a couple of errands to run.  And this evening we’ll be heading to C-ville for a family gathering.  Then I think we’ll be driving to the farm for a short visit this weekend.  Eric’s going to help his brother do some roofing job, I think.  All I know is that I will NOT be helping with a roofing job! 

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got.  Have a lovely weekend!
