The Good News and The Bad News

The Good News is
We made it home safely

The Bad News is
It was 108 degrees at 8pm when we entered the valley of the sun

The Good News is
My parents stopped by a bit earlier in the day and turned the a/c down so our house was nice and cool when we arrived

The Bad News is
I have to start worrying about what the a/c bill is going to be

The Good News is
The area rug and all the children fit in the car

The Bad News is
The area rug doesn't go as perfectly as I thought it would in the living room

The Good News is
I have a husband who didn't give me a bad time about purchasing a rug that I don't love in the room it was intended and that can't be returned

The Bad News is
When we got home, neither the husband nor I felt like making a grocery run

The Good News is
My parents left us donuts, cereal and milk for breakfast and invited us over for dinner today so that we wouldn't have to go to the store when we got home

The Bad News is
School starts in 2 weeks

The Good News is
Midnight rains and washing the car with a rag on last nights in Utah are pretty efficient

The Bad News is
We have more gopher holes in our yard than when we left

The Good News is
A new family moved into the house across the street

The Bad News is
We didn't finish the book we were reading on the trip home

The Good News is
This means lots of reading time snuggled up next to the husband

The heat part is a serious bummer, but at least you were able to enjoy the lovely Utah air for a few weeks! Enjoy the rest of your Summer- all 2 weeks of it! :)

Welcome back to the HEAT! Sorry about the gopher holes!

We were thrilled for your visit up here, and I'm sorry the rug didn't work out.

I'm glad you're able to see the good in being home. When we got home on Sunday night, I took two xanax and cried myself to sleep!
