Coffee is on!
It's been WAY too HOT! @frustratedearthmother hang in there...i'm sure it'll get better...won't it?
Today's high is 95, with a real feel of 106. Tomorrow is will be 97 with a real feel of 110...keeps going up.
I know the rabbits are looking forward to the end of this heat wave.
@CntryBoy777 that's a long time! Are you guys at least getting any rain?

Oh yeh!!...we are getting rain, but it is tropical rain....so, it isn't from a cold front passing thru....it is more like a ladle of water being dumped on hot rocks in a steambath....like monsoon season in Hawaii...well, on Oahu anyway........the realfeel temp here was 95° at 8am....going up to around 105 today....just not much difference between the highs and lows enough to cool down much....air is so thick ya "could cut it with a knife", as mom would say....

ok kinda jealous of the cool weather. i am working on the school room today. currenting breastfeeding its nap time so after he is down i be going back out to finish my chores. uh some times these kids can making farming more frustrating. someone or something puled out all my corn, jalonpenos(i know the kids did that they got caught rolling on top of plants in the mud), pumkin plants and pretty much all the only seedling that have survived are the cumcumber, greenbeans, and peas. lol. so back to planting. i be replanning where to plant to prevent it happening again. no ones allowed in the garden. i wake up at five just so i can get things done and lately someone wakes up from something and needs snuggles to fall back asleep. so started late this morning on my chores. i will one day get everything done and be bored so i guess i shouldn't complain to much. one of the kiids school books is missing and of course its one of the must do books so got to find that. i say this i am rarely bored with all my new projects and my old one lol. i can wait for cool or cold weather.

morning. sounds good. i was finally able tp get out of bed on time (well 22 minutes late but hey better the seven lol) both boys are in my bed sleeping and daddy just went to bed so yay i can get milking done early. and try to get breakfast ready before kids wake. i am debating on whether to go ahead and do the kids chores or not. my son in charge of feeding and collecting eggs from the birds and my daughter is in charge of feeding the dog and cats along with watering the bunnies and feeding them. they both get an allowence for doing it i thinki i might just go out a second time when the get up and get those done quickly then start school. i imagine they wont be happy if i took the money making chores away lol.

as soon as i hit reply my youngest wakes up. go figure anyways my notmal hot tea is on waiting for that. then taking stinky with me if required to get milking done he might fall back asleep. promise what curriculum do you use. so far we using rod and staff for math and english. i be adding star and spangles history. then i am adding a science book i was given. i like rod and staff ok its just alot of book work that doesnt give much extra time for us to do other things. i have to work out a new schedule come novemeber when she finishes these books.

@Jesusfreak101 My son (5th grade) is doing Abeka Arithmetic, Learning through Literature for Language for "English", then for history our co op is doing a free Indiana history course and Science is apologia. My daughter (2nd grade) is using Abeka for both math and phonics, apologia for science also. I also have a reading eggs subscription for the girls for supplemental reading/phonics.

Abeka? the kids do fine with their math but I really don't like the lower level Abeka language/reading/spelling... which is why we are trying something different for my son.
