I don't like August

People often as what your favorite time of year is. I generally avoid the question because I like most seasons. I don't like August, though.

Stubbornly, we do not have any air conditioning in the house, so the hot, humid, sticky of the "dog days" month really make an impact. It's also the end of summer, so the kids are bored of the activities you've been doing.

Since the homeschooling expo, I have tried to buckle down and read some of the intros to the educational books. I finally got through the reading intro and then made up little notebooks with the first lesson in them so we could start today.

*sigh* What is it about good intentions paving the road to hell?

Girl work up cranky and has only gotten worse. Boy started out okay, but has bulked at just about every attempt to do anything. The heat indices are reporting 98 and moving up. All I want to do is curl up and take a siesta. Maybe it will be better this evening. I hope so!
