Odd Girl Out

I just finished reading Odd Girl Out by Rachel Simmons. This book is amazing. It discusses the culture of aggresion in girls and how it is so much different then that of boys. It made me confront and think about times when I was young when I was bullied by girls and times I may have done it myself. I would recommend this book to ANYONE with a girl of their own. Please read it!!

No A/C

Well yesterday was a very hot day. We woke up that morning and the house felt stuffy. Come to find out the A/C had stopped working. Well Mike had to go to work so it would have to wait til he got home to be fixed. The morning wasn't too bad even though the house was heating up fast. Come afternoon it was cooler outside then in the house, so the kiddos and I played out side most of the afternoon. When Mike came home from a long day of work he started working on it. So 4hours, a billion mosquito bites, two runs to town to get parts, and a frustrating 1/2hour looking for the mysterious breaker that we couldn't find (eventually we did) my amazing honey got it working. Not only am I in awe that he knows how to fix stuff that to me seems incomprehensible, but he worked so hard on it after a full day of work and never once snapped at anyone or was grouchy. Anyways I just wanted to tell everyone how proud of him I am, and much more cooler.
