Independence Day

Hey Hey Hey! How was everyone's holiday weekend? The girls and I spend the day at home playing in the pool to beat the heat and then I BBQ'd for dinner we then ate s'mores and played with sparklers.  The girls actually got to bed earlier than they have been the past week. It was as good as the holiday could have been with just the three of us. I love that my girls had fun on the 4th without a huge party and friends.
You remember me mentioning how great that first week with the hubs not home turned out to be a good one? Well, it all went down hill from there. First I found a nail in one of the cars tires so I had to get that fixed, then our pond went on the fritz and I could not figure out what was wrong with it so after days of it acting up and me thinking the worst could happen, blown motor, busted pipe, dead fish, I finally was able to get someone to come look at it and get it fixed.
This heat has just made the days so much more....
Mowing the lawn and weeding is so not fun when the sun is just beaming down on you and then when your done not having somewhere to cool off. Here the the PNW most of us don't have A/C and don't usually need it but we have had an unusually HOT summer.
By dinner time I have not been in the mood to cook so we were eating out a lot, I finally decided enough is enough and decided to figure out how to grill more the turkey burgers on the grill and that helped for a day then the propane ran out, so I had to figure out how to do all that. You never realize how much the hubs does for you until he isn't here.
The girls have been staying up late too. It's just been too hot to put them to bed at normal time. Last weekend was the latest they stayed up because the power went out and so even though it cooled down outside the fans weren't on to bring in the cool air so there was not way the girls could sleep.
I guess when I think about it, things haven't been that bad. Life happened is all.
I did manage to eat right and get all my body beast workouts in everyday so I'm feeling strong and looking great these days and when your kids pool is the only way to beat the heat my tan has been on point! ;)
Here's to looking on the bright side more during my birthday month!Yep, I'll be the big 3-0 this month.
