The kids, hubby and I all piled into the coolest room to sleep last night, with windows open and fans blasting. Still hot. It was 89 degrees in the house. Yuck! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I&amp;#39;ll feel less whiny after the AC guy gets here. If it isn&amp;#39;t so darned  hot in the house, I can remember how blessed I am to have my kids here, healthy and happy.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1209264853642169765/5057037706156963926/comments/default/8820421382426687398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1209264853642169765/5057037706156963926/comments/default/8820421382426687398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.mysteriesandmargaritasblogspot.com/2010/06/marys-rants-take-whine-out-of-writing.html?showComment=1277388062135#c8820421382426687398' title=''/><author><name>Anita Clenney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08121439834252671730</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03087142016846713343'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_y3CZSBhBl4w/S800sum6b5I/AAAAAAAAABc/nk4Zx66Ud2w/S220/Copy+of+anitacovercomingsoon.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.mysteriesandmargaritasblogspot.com/2010/06/marys-rants-take-whine-out-of-writing.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209264853642169765.post-5057037706156963926' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1209264853642169765/posts/default/5057037706156963926' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1887955571'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209264853642169765.post-9007223930173619184</id><published>2010-06-24T04:53:12.910-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-24T04:53:12.910-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fine.
