Its been a day

Its HOT! (click on words to see the latest Utah weather!) swamp coolers are not ideal for Utah heat. I know that much. Its 78 in my living room right now, and the swamp cooler is 15 feet away. Its hot, its muggy, and I dream of central air.
The kids and I just spent the last 1/2 hour spraying each other with the water bottle. I think I'm one degree cooler, and about 60% covered in old spray bottle water. I think I'll re-apply every half hour until I fall asleep tonight!. Anything for a few degree difference.


Mattie was supposed to go to his 10 month check up today.
but...













Do you see anything?


Look again.



Yep, that's the empty hook that my keys are supposed to be hanging on...
thank you my darling husband for not putting them there when you drove the van last night.

The kids and I looked over 40 minutes for the darn things and I've yet to find them. Taylor will be doing his own search and rescue when he gets home. I keep forgetting that he's not allowed to use my keys. This is not the first or the last time this has happened.
I did manage to find the spare set. IN HIS PANT POCKET. Unfortunately that was AFTER I had called and re-scheduled Matt's appointment. oh well.

With the heat, and no where to go the girls were restless today. Ali was bouncing off the walls, and Meg turned up the whining a few notches. I think it also had to do with the impending departure with Ex. He finally arrived quarter after 7 tonight. Its going to be awfully quiet around here. I hope they have a good time, and most of all I hope they stay safe. It's hard not to be in control of your own kids. I have plenty enough to keep me busy for the next two weeks however. I plan on cleaning the house and enjoying the fact that it stays clean for at least 24 hours. I'm still debating whether I want to start any major projects. I'll let you know what I decide.

I also made these today.....


YUM. Pumpkin chocolate chip. They taste better than they look. trust me, I've eaten 5 of them already.
oh, I have to give her credit






She helped too.
Isn't she purty?





Have a great day.

****update***** Taylor found my keys IN OUR BED! "they must have fallen out of my pocket" he says. "all I had to do was pull down the sheet and there they were"

Well gosh, if I knew it was that easy, I would have looked in our bed for my keys!

Arrgghh!! In the bed. Of course silly. That's where you are supposed to put your keys. Didn't you get the memo. Don't you love how I am, like, almost always the first to post a comment? I rule your bloggity blog comments!

Your dad has been saying this to me for 29 years "Julie if you would just put your keys in the same place, you would never lose them"
He's been saying it for 29 years and I have been putting them wherever(and losing them) for 29 years.
I wish you two the best of luck!
Hey that key rack is pretty cool! I think the sheets are a much better place, then you would have them when you woke up and could go right to your van and drive away!
LOVE LOVE LOVE you
