I CAN take heat, thank you very much

Right now it is 80 degrees outside. Later it will be around 85 degrees. I am not worried because as we speak my car's air conditioning is being fixed. For just above four hundred dollars, I am getting a new fan motor. The irony here is that Abigail, the main reason I was so adamant about fixing it, is home with Jason today getting ready for our trip this weekend.

Speaking of that trip, I am very excited to get away for almost two whole days. I'm not excited to be away from Abigail, except in the sense that I'll finally get to sit down and relax without either running after a quick toddler or shushing myself and others for fear of waking said toddler. Abigail, I love you but you sure are a lot of work AND MAMA NEEDS A BREAK.

However, I am not thrilled about leaving the plants and bird feeder unguarded. It's bad enough that we have those pooping, fleabag squirrels visiting our feeder, but I think that small black and white cat has actually been eating the birds. I watched him as he lay under the feeder the other day, and he nearly got one. When we set up this bird feeder we didn't realize we'd be giving food to the birds as well as making food of them! As a result, I've decided to booby trap the feeder. I plan on staying up all night to study the ways of that Master Booby-Trapper, Wile E. Coyote. Wish me luck!
