Heat Wave

I have tried to start a post like 27 times but everytime I somehow get distracted with other things. Like right now, Im eating a Mint Dilly bar from DQ and My multi-tasking is struggling. We are barely alive right now. Not because of illness but because we live in a small place called the Heater. Today is a measly 113 degrees with what seems like 50% humidity. I have yet to see a drop of precipitation coming from the sky. Monsoon season My foot. Speaking of humidity. My mom has been wanting to sit in the steam room at the gym for a few days but what really sealed the deal for her was that you burn 300 and something calories in just 20 minutes. I didnt think it would be that bad until I sat down and after 30 seconds steam was blowing all over my body and it smelled like dead body. I stuck it out for 2 minutes folks. 2 minutes. In that time I calculated that I burned about a half a calorie and will never be entering the Steam room again. The steam part, I might be able to handle but dead body stench and I dont really mix well.

ANYWAYS... Presley and I have tried to stay cool as best as possible. She roams in mostly a diaper and I roam in mostly my underwear. We live close to AZ Mills so we go over to Rainforest Cafe and look at the fishys and eat Dippin Dots once a week because I cant bring myself to purchase an $18 ticket to the Aquarium at AZ mills for what I know will be an hour tops. We hang out at the pool almost everyday. We share popsicles, ice cream and cold water bottles. I make weekly runs to DQ and when I say runs I really mean purchase half of DQ, bring it home, stick it in the freezer and eat it throughout the week. Well that is unless your husband consumes it in about 24 hours and leaves you high and dry. Oh who am I kidding, I ate 5 out of the 6 dilly bars last week plus my vanilla cone covered in crunch coat and my Medium oreo blizzard. I have a slight problem. I have consumed more then my weight in ice cream in the last few weeks. I dont feel to bad because Im working my butt off everyday at the gym. So GET IN MY BELLAY!

Zach has recently informed me he will NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT be purchasing a home in Arizona. His suggestion was to move to the Andes Mountains and become Alpaca farmers. The Andes Mountains average climate is 64 degrees Farenheit. Some locations colder some warmer. I told him to be safe and dont forget to write often.

Other that avoiding heat stroke we are all doing fine. Presley has a mother again now that Musical theater Summer camp is over. She is quite the little terror at the gym by stealing crayons from the older kids and stealing all the kids identification stickers off their backs and putting them on herself. Her favorite word is No. Crazy I know. She loves twirling like a ballerina and her new favorite thing is Ring Around the Rosies. She sings Rock A By Baby to her dollies and kisses them. She knows what a cow, dog, chicken, bird, kitty, Duck, Horse and tiger says. She will carry on full conversations for about 10 minutes with you and you will only understand maybe 10 words total. She LOVES her grandpas. As soon as we pull up to my parents she asks for Grandpa even if he isnt there. She will point to his hummer when he has the mustang and wave and yell Bampa! She child eats every second of everyday unless she is asleep. My daily task is finding something for her to eat all the time preferably healthy. She is my little mini me and follows me around all day. She is into anything and everything. She runs away when I try to get her dressed, change her bum, brush her teeth, and just about anything else she doesnt want to do. She is so stinking cute though. And its a good thing too.

Hahaha! Miss P! I can't even believe she's getting so old!! PIcs are darling!And Ice cream sounds particularly amazing right now and I fully support the weekly raids of DQ:) I am thinking that AZ sounds oddly like hell at this point...maybe we'll do the winter home thing down there and then live in some coastal town that stays around 79* all summer long...you're all invited of course:) With that being said, Love ya, DQ here we come!

Aww cute Presley- sounds exactly like Brody with the running away part! He struggles to get away for everything I want to do, it's tiring but he thinks its funny so I can't help but laugh!

I so walk around in my underwear at home... I'm not excited for the days my kids will be too old for that. I guess that's where the muumuu will come in handy. haha! jay-kay. (ps. I just got off, no defriending!)

I was seriously laughing out loud while reading this post! Probably one of my favorites! You have also made me really hungry for DQ! There is only 1 on this whole island and i have yet to find out where it is! A crunch cone sounds so yummy right now! Miss P is just darling!

oh my gosh you are hilarious. It's sooo hot out! I think sitting around in underwear eating DQ sounds like a delightful day. Presley is cute!

Molly said...

We are definitely going to DQ today... Why haven't I been going there daily already.

oh, that's right! Because I can't even stand walking out to my car in this heat.

It's my husbands first summer here. I was smart enough to bring him home over Christmases and in the Spring thus far.... but it looks like I'll just send my husband to the Andes with yorus. Then everyone can be happy.
