An Indiana School System Asks Parents to Pick Up the Summer Sun Meals They Order
Summer can be a real challenge for parents, right? It feels like kids never stop eating! Just yesterday, we were driving back from Florida and decided to treat ourselves with a stop at McDonald's (a rare indulgence at our house). They had this deal—$5 for a meal with a double-patty burger, fries, four chicken nuggets, and a drink. My 11-year-old finished her entire meal. As for me, I only managed to eat half of my burger and a few fries. But wouldn't you know it, about 30 minutes later, she polished off the rest of my meal. And then, less than two hours after she ate, she was already saying she was hungry again!
The heat is back and storm chances will follow into the holiday
What a difference a day makes! We began the month of July on a very pleasant note with comfortable temperatures/humidity levels and just like flipping a switch, hot and humid air came rolling back into Central and Eastern Kentucky on Tuesday. With high pressure giving way and drifting into New England, a comfortable northeast wind was replaced by a southwest wind which pushed plenty of warm and moist air back into the region. Afternoon highs surged back into the upper 80s to around 90 degrees along with dewpoints back into the upper 60s and low 70s. This is much more typical of early July weather and the warmth and moisture will set the table for some active weather into Independence Day.
