It's 21:19. Today was hot - in the 90s. It's probably 72 now. I've got the Tiki torches going in the backyard while I catch up on a few things and blog. Sipping my iced coffee outside on my "patio" with the torches going in good weather. I've imagined nights like this many evenings I've been on the road. Still, something is missing from this midsummer's night dream. Something Latin. Something Feminine. Someone special.
Reality sets in with a slight waft from the feed lot next door. Neither Latin or Feminine. Where's smell-o-web when you need it?!?!? Web 3.0 anyone?
I found a wasps nest in one of the gazebo posts this afternoon. There were about a dozen when I scared them up. Ick. The wasp spray won't go down into the post except for what drips down from the ceiling. It's too tight to point the can straight down there.
While I'm writing, Lexie has been chasing dying wasps across the cement. Reminds me of my dog, pepper, chasing bees across the yard.
The kids all played good today - I have no complaints. There was a little too much TV in the AM while I managed to get an important document finished for a client. I'm hoping there won't be much aftermath tomorrow. I want to maximize my time with the boys over the next few days. The 4 big kids took Lexie on a walk this morning. 5 minutes after sending them out, I realized what a disaster that could have been. It turned out ok, but I still have to have a talk with the kids about sticking together. Gabe returned alone - after the others returned. Had it been the other way around, I might have lost it.
Both Isaac and Ethan played at some neighbors, got wet in the yard, and Toby managed to not drive me crazy all day. Priscila's mom (Bucky - boo-key) has been here most of the day doing laundry and helping with the kids.
Brienne brought by pizza for dinner. Thanks to all the ladies in Priscila's circle for thinking about us. I will be calling ladies, I'm just now getting a handle on where I am and what's going on.
Brie said she read my blog. Thanks Brie, I have an audience of 2!! Pass the word girls, I want 10 by the end of the week!!!
Back to dreaming. I can only hope the rest of the week goes like this.
Heatwave Ahead!
