Zach has a new tshirt. He sure is starting to look like a little boy. He says his shoes are "snazzy." He says that is what I called them. I din't remember. I spilled some if his yogurt this morning. He said "Oh shucks Mommie." He us also starring to make car noises when he plays with cars.
He has to go to Kidz Kabana because I am going to attempt 2 exercise classes in a row. My trainer says I can do it, but he is sort if crazy like that.
I bought a hot air popcorn popper for Zach. Walmart had them on sale with all the back to school college stuff. Zack loves watching the popcorn pop and fall out into the bowl. It is better than microwave popcorn because we can control the butter and salt. Fun times.
The library has a new computer just for kids. Zach learned the mouse fast. The air conditioner quit this afternoon. Zach and I went to the pool and Mike got it going. Just has to hold until the repair man can get here tomorrow.
I have made it mostly through the summer semester. I have one more project to finish on Thursday. I never really did get motivated. I am starting an exercise challenge at the gym on Friday. I have a schedule all made out. All I have to do is follow it.
All but one of my patients at work on Friday were probably there because of complications of dehydration due to the extreme heat. One guy, not my patient, was 39 and worked so hard he had a little heart attack. It will be interesting to see who is there tomorrow.
Mike has watered the plants twice a day for the whole summer. They are doing really good considering. Some of them are beginning to look a little stressed. There are whole, big trees with yellow, dead leaves. Not in our yard thankfully.
Zach has a new dance he does when he is really excited about something like toast, or the pool. He gets his little rear moving and goes back and forth on his feet and waves his hands while turning in random circles. Miss Nicky said he was hilarious when they were dancing in his class the other day because he was really shaking his booty.
More than half of the continental United States was in moderate to extreme drought in June -- including corn- and soybean-producing states -- damaging crops and impacting prices at the grocery store.
Some say if the hot, dry weather continues, this year's drought could rival the "dust bowl" years of the 1930s:
