I'm in Rhode Island - we've been in the mid 90's for the past couple of days - I get VERY cranky in the heat.

Right now I feel very lucky. I'm sorry it's so hot for you all. It's 72 degrees here. Wisconsin has had a lot of flooding from all the rain, but even that has stayed south of me, so I can't complain. It's wet and humid here, but according to what toerhs are having, I don't feel I have ANY right to complain.

I gave up any plans of packing today and went to the beach. The cold water is delicious!
Tomorrow is going to be as hot. I can't go back to the beach. The sun is too strong for 2 days in a row. Think about going from this heat into the cold water of the ocean! Instant cool down. I love that shock of cold on hot skin.

My thermometer said 90 at 7 this morning! YUCK! My two teenagers were soooo crabby this morning. I know it's the heat, and the end of school stress (finals start Thurs) so I just ignored it! Some of the schools have been having early dismissal because of the heat. Our district did not "because the schools are air conditioned". Well, this morning my kids tell me half the classrooms the AC isn't even working! And my son is doing golf in gym...yesterday they had them out in the middle of the baseball field hitting golf balls. I swear, this district is run my mindless morons. I used to be on the Board of Education (6 long years, 2 of them as President) and I saw this district from the inside. Heaven forbid someone THINK or make an adjustment to one of their "rules".
 I told my kids if they have a class where there is no airconditioning (and most of Megan's there aren't even windows!), feel free to go to the office and tell them they have to sit there or they are going to pass out. If they won't let them stay, I told them to call me. I've always been a rebel

Poor kids! I taught a couple of summers ago n a school which wasn't air conditioned. Summer school buildings have to have a/c. It wasn't until Channel 2 news got it onto TV, that we finally got our a/c's (which had been sitting in the basement all that time).
The good thing was that I weighed 123.5 lbs after that summer. Half the people at the beach yesterday were high school kids who cut school.

I feel sorry for all of you with the heat wave. Here in FL it is in the mid 90's. So glad I don't have to be out for very long. At least we don't have floods like some of the Country.
