Yeah, it is cooler out...well for today anyways!!

Hello! I am so happy it is cooler today, yesterday was awful!! Despite the heat I decided to rearrange the study. It is pretty much the only room in the house I can rearrange so that is why I picked that room. I was drenched in sweat afterwards. I made goulash for supper after I did that. While it was cooking I took a shower and felt way better once all the sweat was off of me! My supper was good, it sure did make a lot for one person though!! I have been drinking so much water it is ridiculous how often I have to pee!! I told Jese that pretty soon we are going to have to move the bedroom downstairs because I have to get up twice every night!! At least I am not sucking down pop and juice anymore! I finally got myself weaned off of both of them.

Kipper is still doing really good with his invisible fence. He hasn't been shocked since the first day. Now he loves to sit out on the chairs on the porch and bathe in the sun. He is so cute!!

Jese has been getting green bell peppers and cherry tomatoes out of the garden this week. We had to tie our tomatoes up because they are all sitting on top of each other so the bottoms of them are rotting. We haven't gotten any big tomatoes yet because of that. Our cucumbers are doing very nicely though! Jese is still getting enough lettuce for his salads every day so it is okay that just a few of the seeds actually grew.

Okay well that is it for today!

Yuck!!

I feel so gross!! The best way to escape the awful heat and humidity today is to lay on the living room floor and watch "Weeds" I am pretty much dying here. This morning when I got up my glasses fogged up!!!

I miss fall!

Josie again!

Good morning! I am so sick of waking up to humid weather! It makes me so sneezy in the morning. Kipper is doing super good with his invisible fence. We let him get shocked right away so now he knows where he can and cannot go. The only problem is he doesn't like to walk around the yard unless we are out there with him! He is lots happier now that he can run around more though. Well I guess I don't really know much else!

Poor Little Girl

Josie at the Waseca Fair

Hello. Jese and I just got done talking to the police. This morning we saw some guy yelling at a girl to get in the van when we were outside. It was all very suspicious. Jese wanted to call the cops and I said that it was probably someone she knew. Well then I talked to Mama and she told me the girl could be raped and killed by now and then I started to think about the book Lovely Bones, and then I started to panic!! Jese wrote down their license plate number when they drove away so we decided to report it. We aren't very good eye witnesses because we must have gotten the license plate number wrong because it wasn't coming up to the right vehicle. Now they are out driving around looking for the van. Hopefully they can find it and find out what happened. I am very nervous for the little girl. She was saying my mom said...so that makes me believe it wan't her dad. I hope she is okay. 

Yesterday Jese and I went to Fleet Farm to get Kipper a new kennel and an invisible fence. I am finally getting around to teaching Kipper the word kennel. He is doing very good with it. Now I just need to teach him come. Jese is digging the trench for the fence right now. I was helping but I was to nervous for the little girl to do it. We also got the kittens a water fountain water dish. I always want to get them one because Pizza only likes fresh water that is preferably moving. They love it! Kipper is afraid of it. Okay well I better go check on Jese so he doesn't get mad on me.

They Are Here!!

I finally put the up north pictures on my computer, plus the ones for Amy's Thanksgiving in June! Here they are:

Well there are all of the pictures!! I decided to just put them all on rather than spread them out into different days! Last night Jese didn't get home until 3:30 AM because something happened to a client at work so he had to sit at the hospital until 2:15 AM!!! He called me at 11:30 and left me a message saying he would be late but he didn't say what time, so when I woke up at 1:00 and he still wasn't home I started wondering where he was! So naturally I started sending him text messages and calling him until he answered me at 2:15!!! Then Liam woke up to go potty, and then I started to have a sneezing attack. Liam got up at 7:30 this morning. This was his best night here yet, he didn't get scared at all! Oh yeah I forgot to say why he was here. I went to Waseca yesterday morning to babysit for a few hours and then I was going to bring the kids to daycare, well the daycare lady called and said she was closed because her kid was sick. So Amy asked me to stay all day because she had to go back to work, so I did. Well then once she got to work they asked her to work another overnight!!! So then she called and asked if I would watch the kids again all day today. We decided it would be best if I brought them to my house because we never know when Adam is going to get home. So I took Mom's super sweet car because she has car seats and brought them home with me last night! When we got home we ate supper, then I gave them a bath, and put Josie to bed! Then I turned the computer on for Liam so I could watch my tv show. I put him to bed at 8:30 but of course he didn't got to sleep! After my show was over I took a shower and went upstairs to read in bed so Liam would go to sleep. That worked much better! I don't know what we will do today. Liam asked to make creepy crawlers yesterday so maybe when Jese wakes up he will do it with him! Okay that's all!

It's getting hot in here...

Kipper riding in the backseat for the first time!

And Kipper in the front seat after not liking the backseat!!

I know, I know I promised up north pictures but I still haven't put them on my computer so you will just have to wait a little bit longer!! Yesterday Jese and I went down to the Waseca County Fair with Amy, Liam, and Josie. We had lots of good food!! Then last night Alicia, Brandon, and David came over. We went to El Tequila for supper (yum!) and then we went out to the bars. They weren't very busy but we still had lots of fun. We were home by 11:30 so I am not tired one bit today since I got to bed around my normal time! Jese on the other hand is in bed. 

This morning I went to the grocery store to get carpet cleaner (so Jese could clean up a little mess he left for me this morning), then I went to the farmer's market (I got a cucumber for cucumber salad), then I stopped at a garage sale and bought a shirt, then I went to the farm (for hamburger and eggs) where some jerk in front of me bought all of the eggs, then I went back to the grocery store to get eggs and a tomato since I forgot to get that! Then I came home and started the laundry, ate lunch, checked my emails, and now I need to go hang up the next load of laundry! That is my day so far, and it has been way to hot!!

Poor, hot Oreo!!

Oreo after her haircut, you can't really tell but it is really choppy!!

All of the hair I cut and furminated off of her!

I came home today and decided that since I was hot, Oreo must be to! So I took action, I picked up the scissors and started chopping!! I discovered she has major dreads by her back legs in her undercoat but she wouldn't let me comb them out or cut them off, poor kitty. She loved being furminated (for those of you that aren't crazy cat ladies, that is a comb that works super good on getting fur off of cats) She just kept laying there for more!! Eventually I got to hot doing it so I quit. Unfortunately she doesn't look as cute anymore because I didn't cut her hair even at all! Maybe we should have brought her in to be shaved like last summer, but that costs money and last time Pizza didn't recognize her and fought with her until her hair grew back. Poor kitten. Pizza wouldn't let me furminate her, and she is the one that really needs it because she is shedding EVERYWHERE!!! Okay well that is my kitty update!

Congrats Neva and Terrance!

Hello! Yesterday Jese and I went to Neva and Terrance's wedding. It was a very nice ceremony! Afterwards we went to the yummy restaurant, Tavern on France. It was very good!

Jese and I are going to garage sales and farmer markets today so I don't have time to write more, I will get some pictures up from up north shortly!
