I thought it was a little warm in the house yesterday morning and went to find the thermometer reading 76 degrees. After a short investigation, we surmised that our air conditioner had taken a dump...and we were sitting underneath its steaming, hot pile.
Anyone who knows me knows that I do not do heat. More importantly, I do not do heat with humidity and no breeze. Unfortunately, that last sentance pretty much describes yesterday's weather. However, one of the funniest parts about yesterday was realizing that after almost six years of marriage, my husband no longer does heat either.
While the sweating and irratiblity was getting to all of us, neither Dustin nor I could bring ourselves to call a HVAC repairman on a holiday weekend. Instead we invested the "would be" off-hours service call fee on a window air conditioner. So last night at ten o'clock, Dustin ran to Wal-mart to buy us all some nice cold air. I don't want to give you any horrible images, but all I can say is that installing this thing was a site.
Dustin had his shirt off, Lauren was screaming, Mattie was panting and I stood their sweating in disbelief of the day's occurrence. We installed the thing in our bathroom window and have been holed up in our master bedroom ever since.
It was actually not a bad way to spend a Labor day. We watched movies and laughed most of the day. Josh claimed his spot early.
And Dustin and Lauren had a good laugh over Lauren barely missing my wide-open mouth with a stream of puke.
In Lauren news...she has started to laugh. I had heard her laugh in her sleep about two weeks ago and a few days later she belted out a big chuckle. She has the sweetest little laugh and we are constantly looking for new ways to make her giggle. She has also recently found her hands. She chooses to use them as a chew toy for now and every once in awhile lets out a good scream because she's chomped down too hard.
As cute as it is now, any parent knows what all this chewing and drooling means...teething is just around the corner. AAHHHHH!!
She's still getting stronger by the day.
But no matter how cute she is....my favorite time is still when she's sleeping.
