2. Put a screensaver of the ocean on my computer so I can daydream I am somewhere else! 3. Spend our days outside with the hose close by. Whenever someone is looking hot (including me), I'll hose 'em down!! 4. Cool down by hogging the window a/c unit that is really only big enough for a room and not the whole house!! You hog the unit by making sure it is directly beside the computer and spend your entire day blogging and thinking about blogging!! 5. Sit out on the porch swing and just pretend you are enjoying the breeze (when there is really none!!) 6. Go shopping. Spend the day at the mall, or better yet a store where they serve 7. Get dressed in stretchy clothes and sit in a cold water bath. Get out of the tub and wring out your clothes, put your clothes back on. Place a towel under you wherever you sit (preferably in front of a fan!!) This is how I made it through the end of my pregnancy with ds10, on the 4th floor of an old building, in August, and absolutely NO a/c at all and NO balcony!! 8. Hang out at friends houses 9. Make friends with people who have pools!! 10. Kick ds out of his basement bedroom and move down there!! 11. Wait for the thunderstorms to come and enjoy watching them outside in the cool weather! (I have a funny story about this, I will have to post it later though) 12. Pitch a tent in the backyard and move outta the house (my kids would LOVE this!) 13. Buy lots of baby wipes...lots and lots, maybe even stock in the Huggies or Pampers corporation. These things are great for wiping down and cooling off when you are nowhere near a sink or hose or spray bottle!!
