Heat Wave!

My goodness, it's hot hot hot outside! It makes looking after two kids kind of hard when you can't go outside to play or you dread getting in the car to drive anywhere. Not to mention, I've been spending lots of time worrying about our new trees that aren't getting enough water and our AC unit is working some mega overtime. There is a lot of work that needs to be done to our front beds, but it's too darn hot for pregnant ladies to get out there to trim bushes and weed eat. I'd actually pay someone to do it, but I don't think anyone should be working in these conditions. We're going to be at 100 degrees for about the entire next week... check weather here. It makes me want to vomit!

I think we're going to break down and get a new AC unit soon. I just learned that they offer payment plans, so I think we can handle it. The price seems reasonable, especially after getting 4 quotes. Also, I really liked the last guy because he listened to me and didn't try to sell me the top of the line. Thankfully, I got the quote before this tremendous heat wave, so I don't think the rate was inflated at all.

We have so many projects on the horizon, but I believe this AC unit will make a world of difference. Our power bills are through the roof. I just logged on to the News and Observer website and saw that Progress Energy just asked state officials to allow them to increase rates by 16% because their power plants are struggling to keep up with this awful heat! Holy shmoly!!! We're screwed! I guess the minivan will just have to wait for now. Sorry girls!
