perfect timing

maryland is breaking all kinds of records for high temperatures the past week or so. it was 100 degrees today (depending on where you got your info; i saw everything from 98 to 103). the kids are hot, the dog is hot, jeff is shvitzing like there's no tomorrow and every other phrase out of my mouth is 'it's HOT'.

to top it all off, our air conditioning just died.

no, really, it did. the house is about 80 degrees and not cooling down. jeff went to look at the unit in the basement and discovered that our carpet was soaking wet and that the unit wasn't running at all.

AT.
ALL.

jeff's brother is coming over to see if he can help (he's a handyman savant) and his parents said we could pack up the kids and the dog and sleep at their incredibly cool house tonight.

it's hot. jeff is in a pissy mood and i am going to have to go wake up two sweaty sleeping kids and take them to my in-laws.

good times.
