Letting things slip

Some of you may be wondering how it has been going around here with Chad working out of town.

Well, I haven't killed, maimed or liquidated any of my children yet.  Does that sound a little harsh? I'l let you borrow my shoes for a mile.

Housework has become a dirty word.  And endless days of 90+ degree weather in a home with no air conditioning doesn't make it any easier.

For this reason, I am just now turning my attention to the kitchen floor.  It's pretty sad that I can sweep up a pile of food and dirt that big and turn to see a surface so in need of mopping that even I question if I already swept!

Daniel is outside mowing a very large lawn with a heavy lawn mower.  It's already 85 degrees.  He is dieing.  He has been at it (with lots of breaks) for two hours now.  He is half done.

Running a home and yard is much more efficient with both parents.  I am praying that our situation will change quickly and that we can hang on until it does!

School starts in less than 3 weeks.  I think that will help.

  1. The heat is killing me too! I don't remember such a long stretch of such hot weather. Is it because I had an air conditioner the last time it happened? Hang in there with everything. I have never been very good at single parenting whenever those moments have confronted me. I totally feel for you.

  2. Your swept up pile looks like mine does every day. I'm not sure what that says about us.

  3. Predictably, you will have to make the big change in the middle of winter with record breaking snowfall.
