Yeah, we shopped at Sam’s. 
Paper, tissues, and pencils for school. Kool-Aid Jammers for home. Cascade for dishes. Workbooks to keep their brains sharp.
That’s about it 
Oh holy crap! That’s freaking HOT! It’s hot enough that I’m willing to put an ugly sun visor thing in my truck 
So glad that we retooled how air is circulated in the apartment. It’s currently a comfy 76F in the apartment. A/C hasn’t really shut off, but it’s not working as hard as it usually is. Also, we’re not completely baking ourselves!
We have a big round “box” fan style in Ethan’s room (which is the warmest), 3 tower fans in other rooms (living room, and the other two bedrooms), and a little tiny floor one that’s designed for shops and garages in the hallway! It also has a little surge protector built into it! Sweet, right? $48 at Wal-Mart, on sale right now!
Otherwise, nothing much is going on! We went to Wal-Mart at 9am (that’s early for us, 
). Then we came home, put trash bags full of clothes into the truck, and took them to Goodwill 
. Afterwards, we went to the OTHER Wal-Mart and picked up the little fan, as well as some ant bait. With the heat rising, ants are looking for food 
We have kids, and not so clean, respectful neighbors. Neighbor’s kid like to eat ice cream right in front of our apartment, including making a huge ass mess with it. So, we have to pay , but it’s not that bad. It makes me go “Do I want an ant in my soda, or will I drink some water?” I end up with the water (or a 20-oz., which defeats the purpose 
).
How are you keeping cool this summer? And for those on the other end of the world, warm?
so I can talk about this picture, 
Come on and ADMIT IT!! This shirt is FUNNY!!
I noticed it today at Walmart. I couldn’t resist it. So totally suits me!
I’m 27. I’ll admit that.

I’ve been up awake since about 8am, but didn’t get out of bed until about 8:30. I think that’s pretty good. :yawn:
Yesterday, Josh and I, plus the kids, hit Sams and Walmart. Sams was just supposed to be chips for lunches, but we ended up picking up apple sauce (36 individual servings), fruit snacks (36 pouches), and juice boxes (36 … seems to be a theme, :rotfl:). We saw a 1TB MyBook Essentials external hard drive as well. Had to keep myself from grabbing it, .
At Walmart, we picked up some extra groceries that we needed, including fish because Julie is coming over for dinner tonight.
And I just got notice from Josh that all PTFs and unassigned regs are getting “excess notices”. That means they can get shipped anywhere. If the distance is further than 800 miles, the post office has to pay off our lease and the start-up of another lease for us. Yeah, that’s the way to cut costs. Gah. They need to offer the early outs with incentives already and that would cut a HUGE chunk of the workforce, considering the average age of the postal carrier is over 46 years old.
