Updates and such...



Once again it seems like it has been a while since I've posted. When I think I'll sit down and type up something, Sara gets aggravated or its time for another feeding session - then after that I just seem to forget about it. I am going to try and get back into the swing of things with my blogging. I know I've said this before. I hope I haven't lost any readers - if so I understand why. Anyways, it is pretty much the same ol' same ol' around here. It is getting so hot here and it is only going to get even hotter. I was looking at the 10 day forecast for next week and it is supposed to be around 107F - 109F. That is damn hot!!!!

We only have 3 a/c's in this house - 1 of which is in my FIL/MIL's bedroom. Our kitchen is pretty small - nothing to get excited about and there is absolutely no circulation going on in there. I told Shakil once the heat kicks in - I'm done with the cooking. I can't stand there cooking with sweat running down my back and pouring off my face. I'm so hot natured - always have been and I am seeing that Sara is too - just like Mommy in that aspect.

Our bedroom stays pretty cool with the a/c and very cool at night which is when I want to feel the coolest. Today I was giving Sara a bath and I was just sweating and sweating. Of course there is no a/c in our restroom and it was just so hot and felt very humid. Then when I get her out I can't just turn on the fan since she is all wet and drying off.

This evening I was cutting up some fresh veggies to make a salad which btw turned out very nice and I made the mistake of cooking dal at the same time. So the heat from the dal and the heat in the kitchen just made me so hot. My entire back was wet by the time I finished and Shakil was ready to go out for a drive. I had to reshower again because I just felt disgusting. That is how it is here. When it gets unbearably hot you have to shower at least 2 times a day - it's a must! We did go out for that drive and picked up a dvd to watch and also picked up some chicken kababs to take home. They were very tasty! :-)

My FIL/BIL have migrated back over to this house because there is no a/c over at the other house. Yes, you read that right no a/c. MIL came over last night (FIL forced her to) and boy oh boy did it spark up some tension between she and I. I just don't like it when my MIL comes over here because she starts bitching from the moment she walks in the door. She always and I repeat ALWAYS has to say that the house is filthy. You know the reason she says this crap because SHE didn't clean it. She thinks that if she didn't clean it - it's filthy. We have a 24 hour servant that does all of our cleaning and I see her do it everyday. I even go back and check what was done and if it's not done appropriately - she has to do it again. We even have her cleaning twice a day now because of so much dust that manages to get inside.

To make a VERY long story short - my MIL went back to the other house. She can be so disrespectful sometimes. It's as if she really doesn't think before she says something. Sheesh. I know everyone can be like this at one time or another - you just say something without realizing what you really said but with my MIL....it's very regular.

In other news - very good news, my favorite topic - Sara is growing like a little weed. It is so neat to watch her, listen to all of her googly sounds. When we lay her down on her back she really gets going with making all sorts of noises. She just laughs outloud and it's precious. The smile she gives us just makes our day. I've posted some new pics of her.

Until later...

Bye for now.
