Who are these kids...and why are they calling me "MOM"?

You act like it's hot

I think it's at least 90 degrees in my house.  Isn't that great?  I am getting ready to take a quick shower to cool off and put on my jammies because they are my skimpiest piece of clothing (ok, 2 pieces).  I mean, that I can be seen in (wink, wink).

J and K have finished 1 week of swim lessons.  1 more to go.  Let's see....we also went to Raccoon Creek State Park to the beach.  That was nice, though my back crisped a bit.  A small price to pay.

Hub is working late tonight.  Oh, guess what?  I picked my first (of 5000?) yellow squash today.  And my first cherry bomb pepper.  How thrilling.  I just love growing things.  When we move (someday....) I really hope we have more space for a garden.  Right now I only have 5 squash plants, 3 spindly sad pepper plants, and 4 tomato plants.  Oh, and 3 (or 4, depending on if the weeds are winning today) cucumber plants.  I mean, there's just so much MORE I could've planted.  Alas, maybe next year.

Does anyone out there have a pop up trailer that sleeps at least 6 that they love and would recommend?  We are in the still-thinking-about-it stage, but we think we want to try to get one next year.  We are too old to sleep on the ground.

After all the vacation drama here this summer, we finally made a decision.  First we were going to Canaan Valley, WV.  Then we were going to Rehoboth (well, Dewey beach), DE.  Now, we are back to seeing the White House.  Our lovely friends have agreed to put us up (put up with us?) in Baltimore so we will visit the prez, then go to the aquarium in Baltimore the next day, then head home.  I think we might try to go to the Spy Museum.  Has anyone been there?  It looks so fun but I don't know if it's good for little kids or not.

I suppose that is all.  I am melting, so I am off to the shower.

If you're in the Baltimore area, you might want to swing by Annapolis. It's "Plebe Summer" at the Naval Academy right now which would be a great chance for your kids to appreciate home life! There are also lots of great sail boats and colonial history type things. It's a nice day trip.

My goodness! 90 in the house! I heard this tip once. Take a bowl of ice cubes and stick it in front of the fan. Might bring some relief!

Okay, this is getting freaky! First, your name is spelled the same as mine, then you hate that your kids have too much stuff just like me, then I see you're a military brat ( I'm Air Force ), now we both have friends in MD! Mine live in Columbia, with the hubby working in the Baltimore PD!
Myrtle Beach is okay, although, I'm a little burnt out on it since the hubby loves going. It seems to be popular with the Northerners. It was extremely crowded since we went on the 4th, but still fun! We've been to Virginia Beach, and it seems to be about the same as Myrtle.
