Sarah and Payton: can i get a break?

Between school, our house, and just the regular everyday stuff--- I can honestly say I could use a break! Sunday, Payton went out to wash my vehicle--it hasn't been washed since I got it. I decided I would vacuum since a friend was coming over that day so I could help her study for a test she had. I no more than vacuumed the hallway and I saw water leaking from underneath the carpet. I thought SERIOUSLY?! AGAIN!? Because we just finished with water issues this Spring. I literally RAN outside to tell Payton to shut the water off. He ran into the house trying to figure out what was going on. I'm sure somewhere in the mix I explained it, but we were hurrying trying to get the furniture out so we could get the carpet back. I'm pretty sure we used every towel in the house to get the pad dried as much as we could, Monday we started asking people for fans. We now have 2 ~~turbulent~~ noisy fans in both bedrooms. The plumber came over Monday as well and fixed the issue in less than a hour and WERE on time which you rarely get! I was soo happy with them, I even allowed the dude to put their little sticker on my water heater if I should ever need them again (BOY I HOPE NOT ANYTIME SOON!) The carpet will get put back down sometime tomorrow afternoon, and just maybe the house can get back in order.

I also messed up the kitchen sink Monday... but we wont go there ok?! The problem is fixed and that's all that matters.. (just make a note somewhere in your kitchen that stuffing a 5 pound bag of potato peelings down your kitchen garbage disposal is NOT a clever idea and WILL result in you spending 20 some odd dollars buying a "snake" - not the yucky kind- and WILL result in your husband getting drenched in nasty potato juices if he wishes not to change clothes after coming home from work) That's all on that subject.

After all of the Monday night drama, we did have a nice Valentine's Day. Payton and I chose to make our own cards. He even got one from the pups. how sweet. In my card was tickets to the rodeo this weekend, and an ornament kit I have been wanting FOREVER!

So far the week is ok, I literally try to take it a day, hour, and minute at a time. I still miss my Grandmother soo soo much and anything I can do to occupy my time seems to help. I'm so glad to have this ornament kit, because she had/has something similar on her tree at Christmas too. My Dad and his siblings made them and they are the 12 Days of Christmas - which is what I got. It will be a great way to keep me busy, but make her proud because it is a "sewing" activity, and since I have cooking down pat I need to work on this! haha!
