What A Weekend!!!
Mon, 08-27-2007 - 10:55am

Our weekend started off really good. The girls got to cheer at the local high schools first football game of the season. It was a special thing cause they went to that cheer camp the weekend before. It was big time hot so we left shortly after half time was over. That night we all woke up to major thunder storms over us. I have never heard thunder so loud in all my born days. It made the elctronic toys go off, Matthew said it was erie and weird. LOL So we ended up with 5 people in our king size bed. It started getting stuffy so I moved to the foot of the bed with pillows stuffed between the footboard and the mattress so I wouldn't slip down there. I slept pretty good after I moved down there.

On Saturady Matthew have a soccer game early so we swelter there too and my mom then took me to a movie. I brought the girls with me. Probably wasn't an appropriate movie for two 7 year olds but it said it was PG!! (Becoming Jane) We didn't know they were going to show two guys butts while they were skinny dipping. We knew it was coming and we tried to cover the girls eyes but they managed to squirm away from us and saw. That was all they could talk about after the movie was over. *rolling eyes*

The cable guys came to rehook up our cable tv back up and in the process blocked our internet. Dh found a filter out in the box yesterday that was causing all the problems. Why they felt the need to do that I don't know but they did. In the mean time we discovered our phone wasn't working. They took a look and weren't getting any readings from the line to our house so it looked like that storm took out our phone Friday evening. We have been without a phone since Saturday and I am about to go insane. I need to make Katie a Drs appointment for a sore throat she can't seem to shake. If they need to call me from school they can't, I told the kids if you end up somewhere they needed to call me have them call daddy or grammy cause they can't call me. (Then I had to explain that the school has those numbers already.) The cable company set us up for an on call appointment that has to take place within 24 to 48 hours after I called them about the phone and still no one has shown up for that. (I called Saturday about 4:30 pm using my moms cell phone.)

So, Sunday was quiet but crazy cause on Saturday I had discovered a nail in my back tire. Dh had to work and left early Sunday morning to go to work. About 10:30 we set out to Walmart to get the tire fixed and eat at Subway for lunch. I walked out and my tire was flat. Matthew and I had together figure out how to use the air compressor to inflate the tire so I could drive to Walmart. No phone so couldn't call dh to help. We were on our own. We did figure it out and got the tire aired up. Afterwards I had to drop my son off at scouts and they were locked out of the building cause the person who was suppose to let them in forgot to show up. Matthew comes home and goes over to play at a friends home. I picked him up later and he was extremely dehydrated. I got him home and made him tank up on fluids and had him lay down. He had me really worried. He finally ate dinner at 8pm and then off to bed for him. He seems fine today but I think learned his lesson as to why I push the water onto him these days.

Now it's Monday and still no phone and my house and quiet except for the crazy kitty bouncing around playing make her little bell on her collar jingle and I am watching TLC again! LOL
