When it Rains it Pours!

You all know the saying..."When it rains, it pours". Well that's basically how this last week has been for us! It all started out on Tuesday. Caden had to go to the dentist and we found out that he has to have a root canal AND he has 5 cavities. Great....I feel like a wonderful mom! (By the way, I do brush and floss and we don't eat fruit snacks or anything like it. So don't judge me!) The good thing was it was Ben's birthday on Tuesday...bad news we couldn't celebrate because he had to work that night until late!

Then on Wednesday our AC started to go weird. It just wouldn't work. It was 88 degrees in our house that day! So Ben piddled with it, it started to work at night. Phew! Next day, stopped working again. So Ben got a new AC controller and worked on it for several hours. It worked! Yeah! WEll, Friday comes and it stops working again. So have 3 days with my house at 88 degrees that kinda makes REALLY cranky, it makes the boys REALLY cranky and Ben REALLY cranky. (Not to mention the next morning I was helping throw my friend a baby shower so I had to bake lots of stuff...didn't help with the 88 degrees!!). So we finally call someone and they fixed after 2 1/2 hours. Finally...AC! Something I will never take advantage of again!!

So, Saturday comes around. Ben's car has been kinda stinking the last couple of weeks. We could not figure out what it was! We drove over to Heath to Ben's parents home and Ben figured out the problem...the back floor was sopping wet. The AC (yes, it is a trend for the week) is backing up and putting condensation there (well...something like that...I don't know car lingo). Now we have another thing to get fixed!

Sunday...We get home and Ben is going outside kinda rushed and gets in our car and pulls it out of the garage. I was a bit confused, wondering where he is going! He gets out and I just give him a puzzled look and all he says is...you don't want to know. Great...apparently we have a little mouse friend that decided to make a home by our garbage can. So, Ben is tearing apart the garage trying to find it. We find it and then lose it. I ran to Wal-Mart to get some goods (mousetrap and newspaper). I get home and he found the mouse. So we are trying to get the mouse out by using the grass blower and a broom. Let me tell you how terrified of mice I am...not my favorite! Anyway, we eventually got the mouse out. Hallelujah!

So, today is Monday, it is a new week. Caden had his root canal and it went really well and he actually enjoyed the experience. He told me every little detail that they did. He now wants to be a Dentist. We went to watch Ben play Softball, he didn't hurt his knee (a fear of mine since he is just recovering from a torn ACL) and the boys loved running around and playing on the playground (pictures to come tomorrow). Already it is a much better week! Not to mention Ben and I are going on vacation to San Antonio with my old roomie from college: Mich and her hubby Bryce. It is going to be a good week!! (Did I mention that we won't be bringing the kiddos???)

Anyway...hope you all have a good week and nothing like mine last week!
