What's up!!

What else can go wrong?

This has been I think one of the worst weeks I have ever experienced. As all of you know over the weekend I was unable to go on our trip due to my nephew's funeral. The funeral on Monday went really well other than my SIL did not reserve any seats for family, so I had to sit in the back. I felt like the shunned family member. Oh yeah and the fact that my eyes ached from so much crying. I hope I never have to experience that again. The odd thing is I said that same thing exactly a year ago, I was at a old friends, infant daughters funeral.

Off to Tuesday....My hubby had training at the fire hall. For those of you who don't know my hubby has been a volunteer fireman for 12 years. He has been on Sandusky fire dept. for 2 years. Well long story short he applied for the lieutenants position, went through the interview process....yada, yada, yada. Tonight was the night to find out if he made it or not ( He had a really good chance until we found out J. Harding applied also). Needless to say he came home very depressed, and wouldn't even talk to me. Hello last time I checked I was not on the board and can't control these things. If the decision was based on training and experience my hubby should have gotten the position, but we live in a small town and that's not how they do things.

On to Wednesday- Typical day in the beginning...get up and get kids off to school, worked on swimming pool bids and around 2 pm I decided to jump in the shower. It was very relaxing and enjoyable and then I went on with the rest of my day. Around 4:30 pm I was getting a wet wash cloth to wash my daughters face and loe and behold there is no water. WTF- I head to the basement to reset the programmer and still nothing.

So here I sit Thursday morning with no water. I am sick and tired of going through well pumps. We have gone through 3 of them this year at an average of $1000 a piece. Thank god my hubby works for a company that let's him get the pumps for basically cost. I asked hubby if he wanted me to call the well guy and he said it won't help unless we drill a new well that will cost around $2000. I'm not sure if I'm thinking this through right or not but from my perspective if we drill a new well that cost 2000 and a 500 pump that totals 2500 dollars. We have already burned up 1700 dollars worth of pumps so far. My logical thinking tells me that we would save money in the long run if we drilled a new well and quit burning up pumps.

Needless to say my hubby is still pissy about not getting the lieutenants position and now he is pissed we have no water and to top it all off he could not even have his morning coffee.

I sure hope things turn around and I can enjoy the sunshine and have a nice peaceful day and maybe be able to take a shower today.

ps. I forgot to mention that my youngest child shit her pants last night and we did not have any water to give her a bath. I made her take all of her clothes off and streak to grandma's house for a bath.

Bossy~ Next time I'm going to throw her ass on a plane and send her to your house. You would give her a bath wouldn't you?

My SIL has been crabby through this whole ordeal, but I can't say I would be any better if my child was dying. She has a tendicey to screw over the people who help her the most. By the way did I mention that not one person in her family sent flowers to the funeral. I on the other hand sent a $75 basket with 2 willow angels in it for them to keep. I could go on and on, but I will spare you.

Sorry about your week. Maybe you need to head over here this weekend and go out for a few drinks! Sound like a plan??

Kelly~ Sounds good to me, but again we have a crazy weekend planned. We have to find time soon though.
