Our summer usually starts off with one of the children going to the E.R. for some stupid thing that have done , we have had broken noses, stitches in the knee, broken toes and glow stick liquid in the eye, but this year we made it through the first couple of weeks just fine we thought we were in the home stretch.
No that was not the case this year. Instead of one of our children getting hurt it was the house breaking down. First it was the car needing a costly repair due to all the potholes around town we thought ok we can survive this, then our computer broke down for a week while Mike who luckily was home took apart and repaired and put it back together and it didn't cost to much. In that same week our stove caught fire while my daughter was getting ready to bake some brownies, those brownies did not turn out , once again my wonderful husband took it apart and fixed the problem. At this point I figured we have had three bad things happened bad luck seems to always come in three we are done. Mike's work wasn't sending him out to much for July so we thought lets plan a last minute vacation. We talked with the kids and we all decided to go to Washington D.C. and then down to South Carolina to see some friends that had moved there.
But as luck has it our shower had other plans for us. While my daughter was taking a shower she leaned on the wall and it caved in on her. She was fine just upset thinking she broke the wall it took alot of convincing that she didn't do it that the wall was molding and need to be replaced. So we thought there goes our vacation so lets just do both bathrooms. By the way we were planning on doing both bathrooms in another year or so when we had the money I guess the house wanted them done now! So once again Mike worked his magic with the help of his father which is another story that will not be put up on cyper space. We now have two showers in the house that work wonderful and we love them just not the bite it took out of our savings. You would think we are done with home repairs right, WRONG. Our air conditioner sprung a leak which flooded the laundry room and once we ( I say we but really it was Mike)fixed that the washer thought it would join in and flooded the laundry room again. A good snake job by my most amazing husband and it works just fine.
Now if you counted that was six things we did this summer so I hope to be done for a long time. I am very happy to send the kids back to school and hope to have a calm fall so that I can put the house back together.
