We spent the evening at the fair tonight and let me tell you folks. It was hot!!! H - O - T- T- Hott!! It was hotter than blue blazes! It was hotter than hell in hell's kitchen. It was hotter than a cat on a hot tin roof. It was so hot the chickens were laying hard boiled eggs! I saw two trees fighting over a dog, that's how hot it was. The birds were using oven mitts to pick up the worms from the ground! Okay, that wasn't really happening but my shirt was wet with sweat and my makeup was pretty much non-existent after about 15 minutes out there. I hate to complain though since Jason works in higher temperatures than that on a regular basis. Thank God it is him and not me because I don't think I could do it.
Maleah had a Das-zle performance tonight on the stage at the fair. That's why we were sweating our butts off. We had to be there at 4:30 and got home around 8:30. Thankfully, Mom offered to watch Carissa for me so I didn't have to deal with her (Carissa, not Mom, lol). That poor baby would've been really miserable out there in the sun. Maleah tumbled and did two dance routines. She did great. She lost me in the crowd for a few minutes though and got all panicky. She also got in trouble for talking when she was supposed to be quiet and lined up for her next dance. She panicked over that and wanted to go home. She is not used to getting in trouble from anyone other than me or Daddy so that freaked her out a little. But she calmed down and went on to do a great job dancing. Personally, I think in the future she will get in trouble LOTS AND LOTS of times for talking when she's not supposed to. It's hereditary and she gets it from her Dad.
After all of the dances were over we stayed and she rode rides. She rode the Scrambler for the first time tonight and LOVED it! She rode the Dragon rollercoaster at least twenty times. She rode a lot of rides and didn't want to quit. I was so ready to go home though! Plus there was a storm rolling in so I finally managed to get her out of there. She had fun but was getting really hungry, since she hadn't eaten supper yet. That girl needs food on a regular basis or she gets very weird. She gets to acting really badly, very whiny, and she gets a headache and she cries a lot. This is what was starting to happen. So we had to scram.
We made it home, Maleah ate ravioli, and we all needed a shower in the worst way. But it was storming! So then I had to wrestle over the decision of whether or not to bathe the kids during a storm. Will lightning really come through the lines and shock them in the tub? I have never known anyone that has ever happened to. I haven't even seen that on Discovery Health or TLC. How long was it going to storm? Should I wait it out? Or will it storm all night? Would it be okay to run the water, fill up the tub, stick them in, wash 'em up real quick, and then take them right out? That is what I finally decided to do and I am so glad because they have both been asleep now for about an hour and it is STILL storming!!! I threw caution to the wind though when it was my turn and didn't even debate it. I jumped in and took a nice cool relaxing shower while it was thundering and lightning outside. I hope my mother doesn't have a heart attack when she reads this...
So I'm halfway through with my B90X program. Today is day 45 and I am halfway through the Bible. I am so proud of myself for sticking to it. I'm getting closer to the New Testament and feel like the good part is coming up so I'm sure I'll make through to the end. The Old Testament can be a little bit depressing in parts. Those poor people. If you think you've got it bad, you need to read any of the books in the Old Testament. Because we've got it good people! How blessed are we?? Thank you Jesus for loving us enough that we don't have go through all that they had to then. All we have to do is ask forgiveness for our sins and we got it. Those people had to sacrifice like five rams, four bulls, three cows, two goats, and a partridge in a pear tree (well, not that one really). Can you imagine the mess of all these dead animals all the time? And all of the blood? Because they would sometimes sacrifice hundreds or even thousands in a day. The logistics of it all is mind-boggling. I am so thankful to be me.
Speaking of being thankful to be me... I have decided to sell my Capri - the convertible that I have loved so much and is almost exactly like the one I drove in high school. I've had it for a few years now, ever since Jason surprised me with it for Valentine's Day/my birthday. Who doesn't love somebody surprising them with a car exactly like their favorite one from years past? I am sad to see it go because it is a great car that is fun to drive. But Jason has talked me into getting a convertible with a bigger backseat for the girls, something cuter, something with a bigger engine, something that I absolutely love more than the Capri. It's really funny that I had a hard time agreeing to it but I did. So goodbye Capri. Love ya girlie. I hope you get a great new home!
Carissa is into hiding from me. If I ask her any of the following questions, she runs and hides: "Carissa, do you need your diaper changed?", "Do you want to take a bath?" or "Can you come here so I can put your shoes on you?". She usually hides under Maleah's loft bed. The bottom is a tent so she hides in the tent. Well, when I found her in there yesterday and peeked into the tent, she immediately put her hands over her eyes. She is convinced that if she can't see me, I can't see her. So funny and so gosh darn cute!
Oh, by the way, Maleah was sure she saw George Lopez in town the other day. So if anyone else runs into him, let me know! Thanks!
