We bought this. More specifically, we saw this and had to have it. Then we bought it. Let the fun begin! (It looks like a regular motorhome inside and has enough sleeping room for us all).

Adoption

We signed adoption papers today. Not so sure what that means... all they can tell us is they aren't foster kids anymore. That takes county visits and inspections out of the picture- more time for fun!

Yay!!!

Watching the temperature reading on our thermostat drop!!! 92...91...90...89...88... H Vac man told me that the vacant houses are usually out of freon because local teenagers break in and suck it out to get high! No wonder our a/c never really worked- turned out freon was completely empty (We bought a foreclosure that was vacant for a year). Go figure.

It's toasty

It's not usually too hot here, and the weather is rather dry. Running an evaporative cooler generally keeps our house at a nice 75- 85 (perfect for me since I tend to get cold). However, today it's 108, and the forecast is for thunderstorms- which means it's humid and my swamp cooler adding water to my air isn't exactly cooling things off. Turns out our ac is out of refrigerant. Lucky for me the H Vac man is willing to come pump it up for us today. Looking forward to dropping the temp in here (house is hitting above 90 and needless to say, we're all too hot). If the kids weren't sick from the sudden temp hike, we'd be in the pool. Instead, everyone is just plain hot- and sick too, poor kiddos. Can't wait for those thunderstorms to start!
