Keeping Busy & Staying Cool

Not a whole lot going on here other than trying to stay busy and cool. It's been running a bit above 100 the last few days but last week was pushing 110 with the heat indexes running around 115-117. Now, I like the humidity because I breathe so much better and my skin isn't nearly as dry and there's no static electricity....but BOY does it make you sweat. LOL! We went and got a clothes line to save on the electric bill (boy was it high) and just taking a load down, I'll come in with a forehead covered in sweat. Any amount of time outside results in back sweat. Yum! LOL! But hey, this is way better than New Mexico, so I'm dealing.

The kids have their last swim lesson tomorrow. It's amazing at what they've learned in 6 short lessons. The money was definitely well spent. They've got to build up their stamina, though. Jacob gets tired pretty quick. But they're excited that they can go in the deeper water now. I need to take them to the pool on base where they've got a slide, but they charge here and I'm kinda like, eh. I don't really feel like paying just for a slide.

Chris is almost done with his school and then the real pain begins. Maybe if we're lucky he'll get a few days off after school is done, but I'm not counting on it. Speaking of school, I am enrolled for 2 of the last 6 classes that I need. I'll be taking Adolescent Psychology and Geography of Terrorism. Should be interesting. Darn books took a chunk out of the pocket book, though. I hate that about school. Is it really necessary to charge over $100 for a BOOK?

We've got some friends coming down for Chris' graduation, so we're looking forward to that. Should be a fun time. Other than that, nothing really going on. Going to be getting Sea World passes here soon, so I'm sure we'll try and hit the water park up quite a bit before the summer is over. There's about 6 weeks of summer vacation for the kids left....hope I survive. LOL!
