It's SNOWING! Finally. It's been freaking cold, and we haven't had anything stick since November. It's been snowing for about 15 minutes or so and the flakes are getting huge. Seems to be sticking, at least to my car (that's all I can see from the basement window since we're basically underground).

We've decided to put off the trip for a couple weeks due to the *extreme* heat. It was 109 degrees today (still 95 at 8:30 pm) and it's not much better in Spokane with the humidity. I wanted to go down to Riverfront park but that's way too hot to do anything with the baby so we're going to wait for a couple weeks. Next weekend would be perfect ( Read more... )

Record heat predicted for this weekend. Swell.

I took Carter to get his x-rays today. He was a...well, a pain in the ass honestly, but that was to be expected. He was rudely awakened from a nap, had a heavy (lead) blanket laid on him, there was a bright light shining on his face, and his head was restrained. And he was hungry. Poor Bubba.

It absolutely *poured* rain, so hard my car was almost clean (and it was nasty). This is noteworthy because we are in the desert and rain is usually full of dirt. I didn't have a great view of the ( Read more... )

There is a severe thunderstorm warning for my area, and there's a TORNADO warning faaaar too close. Anybody got a spare couch available??

Has Mother Nature not looked at the calender?! We aren't supposed to see 90 degrees for another month and a half and we're sniffin' triple digits next week.

This. Is unacceptable.
