Drought,110 degees, & wind GO AWAY!!.......

After calling several places we finally got ahold of a local guy who could work on our air conditioner immediately...turns out the fan motor in the air conditioner was kaput.....i'm sure that stupid bull killing it a few months ago didn't help it at all...lol....Everybody in our family was trying to buy us a new air conditioner and telling us we were crazy because we wouldn't let them....i know, i know, damn our hard-headed independent souls!...lol..

thank god that guy was available to fix it...he had a small amount of time between working that he scheduled us in....he said everybody's air conditioners are messing up! it's no wonder with this drought/heat!...he got it fixed for us by 4pm....

we kept our fingers crossed it would work..i just kept saying:"If it will, it will, if it won't, it won't."

It was so hot in the house we almost got sick...it was 110 degrees and soooo hot, things like jello would melt just sitting on the table!...Me & Sarah were both feeling very nauseous and light-headed..we kept drinking water and keeping the fans all going and man, it didn't work at all.....we kept the pets cool in the garage and outside with water and a water hose.....

Got 3rd at the rodeo last night barrel racing....it was sooooo freaking hot and i was tired...the wind kept on blowing....but everybody turned up for it again....big crowd.....Kinda happy i'm not competing tonight...i'm just tired...

yep..today is Father's Day....we're going to go have dinner with Dad..somewheres..lol.....probably steak or something like that he likes...We gave him the gifts we bought him an hour ago...it's a pale blue pearl-snap shirt,new guitar strings, and we got him some cigars that he likes...Mark got them for us and we paid him...he ordered them......

guess he liked everything...he started crying a little bit, and gave us both a hug...said:"Aww, you didn't have to get me anything!...Thank you girls. I love you so much!"

We got grandpa a shirt and a new tie.....blue and brown...he loved them... ;)

~~~~I wonder,all the men that we look to in our family as heros and look to for guidance in life...i wonder who they look to for all those things?..who's their heros and is it hard to stay this strong permanent hero/figure to all of us?.....

~~~~i mean, how do they stay so tough 24/7?...do they ever feel like it's a burden having to be all those things for us?...protecting us, watching over us, taking care of us,caring about us,advising us?.....i've always wondered that...you know they gotta get annoyed by us silly girls most days...right?....if not, how do they not?...lol...because we can be pretty annoying at times i know....and they have a very low tolerance for bull*hit!...haha! 

anyhow, however or whatever...i'm thankful to have them in my life and i love all of them.

~Happy Father's Day!~ to all Dads!
