My house is dirty, smells bad and I have nothing ready for dinner

[paganbaby]

And I just can't seem to find the energy to do anything about it. I'm sooo hot right now. Everyone is just lounging in their underwear because we can't turn on the AC (don't have the money to pay for it) I have all the curtains drawn and the fans going but it doesn't seem to help much.

The kids have done nothing but fight, mess with the dogs, rip paper and throw it into the air, make other creative messes and did I mention fight? lol I can't really blame them. They're just hot and bored too. I'd take them somewhere but there's no where close by, free and air conditioned. Sigh...

So here I sit contemplating the mountain of laundry, dishes, stinky trash, inpending dinner, screamy kids and general disary of my hot, humid house.

can the kids go cool off in the sprinkler?

Library?

Good idea but my landlord is a dick about that. The sprinklers are on a timer and only come on at night

Good idea! But...it's too far away to comfortably ride our bikes :-(

can you just hook up a hose and spray them off?  A few minutes would probably make a world of difference for all of you.  :)

Bless your heart.

You know what? Screw him. I'm going to do just that!

Oh and I just found dd a bathing suit today. Someone was just throwing away a bunch of clothes. Her bathing suit is at my moms so this is perfect :-)

Sometimes we all need to vent.
