HOT

Did I mention that lately it has been REALLY HOT? Yes, unbelievably so. And our tiny little brick house with sand for insulation loves it. You can see its walls soaking up the heat, reveling in the fact that it becomes, in essence, a huge oven for the small, soft humans living inside. It's a cute little house, but it has a sadistic streak.

Today, for instance, is one of the cooler days. Only 88 degrees outside. Our house INSIDE in the shade is a frigid two degrees cooler: 86. Ugh. No wonder my poor little child always stinks by the evening. I undoubtedly stink, too.
