I love my kiddos but there is nothing quite as sweet to an exhausted mother as nap time and bed time:) Now that my kids are no longer needing naps I have established "read time" at our house during the summer. They must sit on their beds and read for 30 minutes - figure it is good for them because not only are they reading but they are giving their mother a little quiet time to rejuvenate so that I am a much nicer mom too:)!!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606463500042520701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-85527826744706427412010-07-29T09:33:49.995-04:002010-07-29T09:33:49.995-04:00I haven't heard 'hot as a mug' in year...I haven't heard 'hot as a mug' in years!!! That was one of my super-cool phrases in high school. I wouldn't want to give up my tea, either. I'm a Louisiana neighbor and I understand the heat. To keep our AC bill down and for refreshment, my husband bought us a small, but powerful fan from Lowes. I think it's called a Vornado. We've been able to keep our air on 75 during the day. It's been awesome! Anyhow, you could fan yourself while drinking tea. Isn't that the way of the old south, anyhow.... :)Sunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477863647587508666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-66072574279677918582010-07-29T09:27:04.332-04:002010-07-29T09:27:04.332-04:00My summer dilemma is whether to keep my blinds clo...My summer dilemma is whether to keep my blinds closed all day in order to keep the house cooler.

I hear you about heat and tea though. Jason and I have our morning time together every morning on our balcony- he has coffee, I have tea, but I just can't drink a hot drink in the heat! Usually we're early enough that there is still somewhat of a breeze so that helps. Our even bigger dilemma is not being able to run our AC for at least 3 hours a day because of our generated electricity during that time. I look around me though and overall am simply thankful to have the option of AC when we do have electricity but let me tell you, cooking a meal in the summer heat of Beirut with no AC is no fun!!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050745605541035282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-30455510161321694902010-07-29T00:18:23.498-04:002010-07-29T00:18:23.498-04:00I have a few summer dilemmas: to know where I am i...I have a few summer dilemmas: to know where I am in when I wake up which country, which house, and also which time zone I am in.<br /><br />:)<br /><br />I hope this made you smile.
