It's grip is impossible to break. Alas...<br /><br />@ Mom -- Funny...I actually sometimes <i>do</i> spray Rachel off with a spray bottle...and my face. The poor baby is always covered with heat rash (and also baby powder, because of the heat rash). <br /><br />My friend Lydia found a lifehacker post about the "<a href="http://lifehacker.com/5313787/use-the-egyptian-method-to-sleep-well-on-a-hot-night?skyline=true&s=x" rel="nofollow">Egyptian Way</a>" to sleep, which is kind of laughable. Except that it might be a good idea to wet the sheets down (I also mist those off before we go to bed sometimes, which is infinitely easier than taking the sheets on and off the bed all the time). <br /><br />Currently, though, there is no "cold side" to our pillows...so I thought that tip was funny. We miss that side of our pillows.<br /><br />And Egyptians don't do that. They stay up all night and then doze during the day when it's so hot you basically pass out...at least, from what I've observed.<br /><br />They also spend a lot of time chilling in their cars with the a/c full blast. It makes me wonder if gas is cheaper than electricity...Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-10525983045669847052009-07-14T23:39:48.850-04:002009-07-14T23:39:48.850-04:00Did we seriously both blog about the weather today...Did we seriously both blog about the weather today? Weird. You're right that part of the reason the heat can be so aggravating is that it never goes away.
