Summer isn’t til around 2 weeks away yet, and already we’ve had several near 100 degree days. I have a feeling it’s going to be a long hot summer. We’ve got our central a/c on so the house is sitting at a chilly 72 degrees. I can’t wait to see the energy bill already. Usually it’s July and August before I start seeing huge increases.

What sucks is once again, Chris has another game tonight in this heat. His team is vying for the #1 spot tonight, so it will be a good game. He hates me being there because I’m into the game too much and he hates my enthusiasm because it’s embarrassing! I also tend to get little on edge with him if he isn’t performing where he should be and try to “motivate” him to pay attention. He hates that too. I’ve backed off going to every single game, for his sake, lol.

I cleaned for at least 6 straight hours, but you can’t tell. I pretty much cleaned the small things with a fine tooth comb…. and magic erasers! I removed all the hardware from the cabinets, polished them, put them back on, cleaned under the appliances, cleaned the windows and doorwall, scrubbed the bathroom and toilet. I’ve done a little bit today. I’m still trying to work out what I can get done before the destructors get home from school. Ugh, I only have 3 whole days off with them in school and 2 half days remaining. By golly they aren’t going to sit in this house all summer, they better be out and playing. Yesterday I made Andrew help me wash the walls. Pretty much right at kid level along my hallways always gets fingerprints and other “unknowns”. I usually make sure to clean those routinely.

Ava turned 8 months old yesterday. Here is a picture of her, and one with her and Caitlyn:
