Today has been a very hot day. I worked with Jeff on the basement putting wood around the edge of the basement walls to get it ready to put the floor on. It was very hot and humid so we took lots of water breaks. Late in the afternoon it started to rain on us and that was wonderful to cool off but when the lightning started it was too dangerous to stay out in the rain so we waited until it stopped and worked in the evening with lights on to finish some of the work. I am homeschooling two of my children this year so that should be interesting and hopefully it will go well for me and the kids. Jeff is having second thought about going to Ranger School so will see what happens I guess. It is a very tough school and I don't know why he would want to go through that. It will be nice to have a basement in so I don't have to run to a shelter down the street when the weather gets bad here. Hopefully we will get that done soon so we can go there instead. It has been a little stressful since we returned to Alabama but we are getting settled in here and working to make things better. Lauren did not want to go to public school here and begged to be home schooled so I will give it a try this year.
