Another weekend is almost done and we're already heading into the final week of July. Wow! July has always been one of my least favorite months (even when I was younger) and I'm not sure why, but I'm not sorry to see August right around the corner. We had at least three rainy days this past week - pretty unusual for mid-summer in South Dakota these past few years - and it continues to be hot and humid. If we could just get rid of the humidity for a while, that would be wonderful.

Cory worked only a couple hours on Friday, and has worked Saturday and Sunday during the day. He's really liked having his nights free, of course, and wouldn't mind continuing like this as long as the tips are good. Daytime tips never seem to be quite as good as the night. Since Cory's been home both Friday and Saturday evenings, we've actually been able to watch a couple movies. We watched I Am Legend on Friday and The Bourne Ultimatum on Saturday. Both were entertaining enough.

Other than that, it's been a pretty typical weekend of the kids playing with the neighbor girls who, unfortunately, have been in fairly cranky moods much of the weekend, grocery shopping, and so on. Nothing too exciting. The kids have been playing with clay and playdough, too, although right now it sounds as if we just don't have enough to go around.

Okay, Ella has decided to do something else. Guess she was ready to move on. This morning I slammed my right knee into the computer desk and have been limping around ever since. I have been so clumsy the past couple weeks. Thankfully we're going to the chiropractor on Tuesday!
