Well, it's still hotter than anyone should have to deal with. Temps are close to 100 and heat index is at 105. Sheesh, you can't breath out there. I ducked out of work at 4:30 to beat traffic (had to beg the boss, but she agreed, so I left.) and it was awesome to not be stuck going 5-15 mph. I actually went 20-35! WoooHooo.
We've been talking about selling the van and buying a more economical car. Tonight, as I was heading home, drinking a beer, smoking a cigarette and talking on the cell phone, I realized that the tilt wheel and the wheel well lends itself well to driving with your knee, while flipping off the driver next to you. ROFL, just kidding, but my family involved in the inside joke will LOVE that one. I DO need to get a more economical car, dangit. But I love my van.
Tonight, Kevin got home at about 8:45, after 13 hours on the clock, in the heat, sweating. He is my hero. A recent new-hire there was 21 years old, in good shape, and couldn't take the hard work and heat. Kevin is almost 39, overweight, and has blood pressure issues, yet he does this daily. Often, he comes home after work to help out around the house. He is MORE than my hero...he's the bomb!
Big Brother was awesome tonight. I was hoping that Michael would leave, and he did. Rock on, Eric. Firefighters rule! BUT...if you don't quit power-tripping, you're gonna get voted out, and I'll be sad. My saddness means nothing to the ratings, though, so watch your back, dude.
My baby boy is featured on mom's journal tonight, so make sure to check it out. He's still a doll, but DAMN, check out that baby picture! He's a cute kid. "look at his little smile on his little face. His little sweater has a little dinosaur!. He likes his little picture, bless his little heart!"

i like my van too but the gas mileage is horrible!
Your hubby can outdo that 21y/o because he has a family and a good sense of responsibility. That boy does not have that yet.
Yes your boy is a cutie!
Damn! I had no idea your hubby was the same age as me! I have hypertension too -- and there are good meds for it. The most important thing he needs to do is take a (forgive my spelling) diuretic. It's cheap and it can lower bp by as much as 20 points by itself. Take good care of that man, Rachel!
xo,
Russ
