Finally back Home!

Well this last week has been ridiculous!!! First my family ended up not coming...this was a good thing. JR and I were able to do some of the things we wanted. On the fourth, we went to hang out with friends and Logan got to go out on the boat with us to watch the fire works over Clear Lake....It was a great time, and he was awesome. On Sunday we went to the Houston zoo....It was SO incredibly HOT....we ended up calling it quits before we got around to everything...Logan learned about Nemo! We were so happy to be back home in the AC until about 10:30 that night when we realized that after turning it down to 70 the thermostat still read 85 degrees. OUR AC WENT OUT! Grrrrr.....we had all the fans blasting and even a plug in fan going, but we were all still miserable. None of us got any sleep, so at 5:30 in the morning while JR was getting ready for work, he insisted that I pack a bag and go stay at his moms house in Galveston. When we left the house at 6 a.m. it was 89 degrees. After noon on Monday, I went to my grandparents house to hang out with my mom and family (uncle, aunts, and cousins). We ended up staying the night there....JR had stopped by the house to pick up some over night things and said the house was about 120 degrees! AWESOME----There was also a note on our front door that said ----"You are killing your dogs, put them inside" Hahahaha.....I laughed profusely. I told JR he should have left the note up and replied to it saying - AC is out. 120 degrees inside. Which is more humane? I have heard from several people this past week and a half telling me how aweful it is that I put my dogs outside in the heat. I love my dogs, but, well - they are dogs! Oddly enough dogs have been living OUTSIDE for longer than they have lived inside, and they are still around! Ha. They have food, they have water, and other than about a 20 minute period in the day they have shade. I have always had outside dogs. And while I do feel that they are perfectly safe outside...provided that they have food and water, I still splash them with water, put ice in their water bowls, leave them inside (sometimes until 1 or 2 in the afternoon). They come inside at night to sleep. I am not cruel to my dogs. Come take a look at their belly! Oh, and just in case anyone was wondering - my vet said that they are perfectly healthy!!!! Ha! Anyway, after seeing the note, we didn't feel comfortable leaving them there over night - I could just imagine someone steeling them, which is still scaring me, so we loaded them up and took them to JR's moms house. On Tuesday, they replaced the entire AC unit but didn't finish up until around 6 so JR and Logan came home around 9:30 and I got home around 10:30. The AC is working great! YAY! It was nice to sleep in my own bed, although my grandmothers is super comfy. I seriously feel like I have been away from home for a whole week!
