Beating the heat

So it has been stinkin' hot here for the past week. It is also going to be stinkin' hot the next several days. Elli has, at least, found a way to beat the heat. I got this little play mat at Big Lots last year on clearance. It shoot water while connected to the hose. She loves it! (Obviously. This is the one time she stopped playing long enough to look at me and smile.)I just got her a little plastic baby doll that she can play with at the same time. It's cool. I thought my yard was pretty level...it's not, so we have to keep the hose on a little longer than I'd like to keep the pool wet, but it usually get's so hot out here that I can't stand it for too long. We do have a pretty shady yard, so it could be worse. Sometimes she gets smashed by the rainbow. I think she's looking for a pot of gold.

As far as I am concerned, I am feeling really good. I haven't taken pain medicine for 2 days and my head is healing nicely. I go to the chiropractor today, so we'll see what she has to say.
