Internal Heater

Wow! It has been Hottttt! We are expected to reach a possible 102 degrees in an hour or so. I cant even believe it. Our house has skylights so no chance of cooling it down. Being pregnant is like having an internal heater. I feel warm inside and out. I almost can not hang. I have never drank so much water in my life. Yesterday I had at least 6-8 16 oz water bottles plus a glass of water at the midwife. That is about 113 to 146 oz. of water in one day. I have been making the girls drink water too. I called my mom yesterday and instead of sympathizing with us she did what my mother is good at..."Well when I was a kid we didnt have a/c so you will survive." This is coming from a woman who is living in a place that gets into the 100 plus every summer and has a/c. Besides she has never been pregnant in the summer like I have. Ugh, sometimes. Joe said I should have told her to turn off her a/c for a day when its 102 degrees outside and then say that. haha. I went out at 9:30 pm to look for fans for the girls room because when I went into their rooms to see if they were sleeping and Hanna and Nataleigh were both awake on their floors and their rooms were like ovens. I felt horrible so I went on a hunt. I went to Walmart because I saw a ton of fans the day before. So I park on the side of walmart with the fans,I have to follow to PDA gay men, bleck, in the door. I go to the back corner and there are aobut ten others obviously looking for the same thing. Then I see a man with two perfect size fans in his cart, so I ask him. he says he grabbed the last two. Then I hear an employee telling another woman that she just brought the last ones out and they are gone. So I trek to Home depot and they had closed their doors 10 min earlier. But I am sure that I will not find any today so We will do what we ended up doing last night, only more. I will make sure they bathe in a bit of cooler water and then lay them on the floor in front of the big fan in the living room once again, with a light sheet on them all. I feel sad for not beign prepared,but we have had so much else to think about. And I still havent grocery shopped, guess thats next.

Settling In

Well, since we have been home it was peaceful to chaos real quick. For about a week things were well. The kids were getting along great. They played in each others rooms, they went outside together they laughed and watched television together. Then came week 2. Now Nat and Hanna tell on each other for everything. Thye claim someone gave them something and the other person says it wasn't like that. They yell and scream and do they listen to a word Joe and I say??? No! Haylee has written sentences twice about hitting her sister. Hanna has written sentences and written a two page statement about why she did something and what punishment she should have. They have all been sent to their rooms to spend alone time or thinking time by themselves. Nataleigh is very whiny, all the time. It is loud and chaotic. I think in some ways it is effecting Joe's and mine relationship. We have been a lot more irritable and not had a lot of quality time together. I need to find peace in this house. Get back in the groove of getting a handle on things. Am I ready for a 4th? haha. Yes, I am and I love the challenge. I know as soon as we can get things going and keep them busier with school and lessons and chores etc. they will be a lot calmer. I have learned that Haylee is a huge help. She takes care of them when I nap, she makes their lunches and doesnt complain. She is a godsend and I appreciate her more than ever. I know we will find peace and I am happy that our family is together. Now we just have to find a decent church......
