a hot and humid day

it was in the high 90s and so humid today.

jeremy was working for a good part of the day, so the kids and i were home. right after jeremy left this morning, both kids were screaming. i could still see that jeremy was outside (someone picked him up and they were sitting in the car talking right in front of our house before they left), but he couldn't help me! it was time for a few deep breaths, and things quieted down shortly after that.

i successfully took both kids grocery shopping by myself for the first time. it was more complicated and took longer than it used to, but it went okay.

we spent some time in the backyard this afternoon. our girl swam in her kiddie pool and played with water balloons. i stuck my feet in the pool - the water was really cold and it definitely cooled me down a bit.

some friends brought us a delicious dinner tonight - it was so nice not to have to worry about dinner. dinnertime is always the craziest and most stressful part of the day, so having the meal delivered to our home is quite the treat!

tonight we did another round of cold showers before our girl went to bed and now jeremy and i are enjoying the air conditioning in our bedroom. we only have one chair in our room, so jeremy has brought his camping chair up here and has been sitting in that. it's so nice and cool in here it's hard to even leave the room to go to the bathroom! i'm so thankful for an air conditioned bedroom, especially since nursing a baby in this hot weather is more sticky and uncomfortable than fun. it says it's still 86 degrees outside right now, and it's still so humid. here's to hoping that the weather forecasts are correct and some cooler weather will come our way during the night.
