Okay, it's official. I'm totally over the heat wave that has gripped our part of the country for the better part of a month now. We've had weeks of temperatures around 100, with a short two-day respite where the mercury plunged into the lower 90s. This weekend was horrible. We actually went to the zoo on Saturday with a friend and her two young boys. The kids did fairly well, but my friend and I were pretty close to being hospitalized for heat stroke by the time we left. We spent as much time as possible in the air-conditioned kids area.
Today was a little better, only because we spent it at the pool. But we did have to go to the grocery store and Target this afternoon, when it was excrutiatingly hot. I can't wait to get my electricity bill this month!
On the bright side, my sister, brother-in-law and their two kids, and my parents, are all coming for a long weekend visit. So we're really looking forward to that. Unfortunately, there's not supposed to be any break in the heat. But hopefully we can find something cool to do.
