so it's been a while...

Wow, that lasted much longer than I expected. Though I will admit it was nice. For the past couple of weeks we've been suffering through a heat wave. Triple digits, no wind, two fans and NO air-conditioning. I haven't even turned the computer on in the last two days, as it is a furnace in and of itself. I've also been busy reading...

Like I said, it's been a nice "few" days. Just what I needed after bombing our house a couple of Saturdays ago. You see, Brad had studied over at our land-lady's flea-infested office. Seems a few traveled over here. Will got the worse of it. Must have had an allergic reaction. So, instead of waiting for a full blown infestation of our own, we thoroughly cleaned the place (a few of you might realize how daunting that task was), then bombed it, then washed 30 loads of laundry. A very tiring and expensive (both timely and monetarily speaking) weekend.

On to better and more recent news, Christmas came early! But more on that later. Sooner than later, that is. *B

  1. I'm sorry to hear about your heat wave and not having an ac. I can't imagine. I even more sorry to hear about the flea problem and poor Will! I hope things are much better~

  2. Welcome back! You were missed and I am so sorry to hear about the heat and the fleas, so frustrating, but it makes for a great story. I am glad that all is well and I am excited to hear about your early Christmas.

  3. ooohhh. fleas, I'm so sorry! I know how aggravating little bugs are!! In our MN house, a bird made it's nest in our overhang and when the babies left the nest, hundreds (maybe thousands) of those clear, smaller-than-a-pin-head mites were all over the kitchen and the loft. ug. I guess Brad won't be studing in the land-lady's office again, huh? :)

  4. It sounds like a very un-fun week. So sorry. I'm itching as I read your blog. I think your cousin was just put in my ward. I can't remember her name but she has long brown hair and lots of little kids. I met her and she is a sweetie.

  6. Oh yuck, Beth! I'm so sorry. I almost think the laundry part sounds worst...almost. Hope Will is feeling better and that life quickly returns to normal. I'm looking forward to our triple digit temps starting next weekend...

  8. Dang bugs! Poor Will. Hope he is doing better. And poor you guys too. I can't imagine doing that much laundry, and during a heat wave...yuck! I hope everything is better now, or at least getting there. From now on tell Brad if he can't study at home, go to the library!!!!

  9. I can well imagine how you are feeling and no wonder you are not at the computer. Our a/c went out and I turned the computer off, too. We ended up buying a whole new unit.
