Like Kitty, we have another heat wave going. Figures: it's the first week of Spring soccer and the kids have to play in the wilting afternoon heat on a field with no shade. :facepalm: It was 87 at the coast a couple of hours ago--and this is supposed to be the cooler of the hot days....

I felt terrible when my son had baseball in the sweltering heat. If you are sitting down on a chair in shorts and a tank top and still hot - can you imagine how the kids feel out in the direct son with long pants and running around.

It was pretty bad. Both my wife and I were exhausted... I can only imagine how the kids felt. Despite my exhortations to get them to drink lots of water beforehand, my daughter still succumbed to some mild heat stroke at the end of the day. It took 8 glasses of water before her headache began to subside and she was able to eat some dinner.

She didn't experience any symptoms until well after her game. She drank copious amounts during the game--I think it was afterward that she didn't replenish her fluids.

My husbands grandmother texted me and told me it is snowing at home.... I was hoping when we got back home it was going to be done with snow it is almost April but not sure that's gonna happen.

Maybe it will help you appreciate the warmer temperatures just a little bit more....?
