It’s hot. Currently the fan is blowing around stagnant air that you can cut with a knife, and it’s not even 10 yet. Kade is running around in his underwear (yes…real big boy pants), Liv is attempting to take her nap in what feels like 100% humidity, the dogs are camped out in front of the open door, and I’m trying to convince myself to do some housework before the heat of the day really sets in.

I would turn the air on, but it isn’t working properly. A steady stream of water flows through our basement when it’s on. It still cools the house, but it leaves a nice mess in it’s wake. I’m beginning to think that dealing with water in the basement is worth having a reprieve from this heat. Is 10:00 too early to crack open an ice-cold beer? Maybe that will help…
