This mor (another spurt) ning I got up about 7am cause I had a dream that I backed up in the car over a little boy. That was horrible. I was able to go back to bed and then I got up at 8:45 or 9am-ish from a phone call. Then just a short while later I got another phone call. We took a shower, folded clothes, starting putting them away, and then I heard the dreadful "drip" sound. The roof was leaking onto our bed again! I moved all the stuff and covered the bed with the big plastic bag that the mattress came in. We came downstairs and I did some dishes.
Laura called from in Hannibal and asked about lunch. Or maybe I told her about nachos earlier. I don't remember. Anyway, I started making taco meat, refried beans, spanish rice, & guacamole. Mike, Cindy, Michael, Pat, Meagan, Ava, Frank, Laura, Logan, & Beau all came over for a mini Nacho Party!! It was a lot of fun and I'm pretty sure everyone liked the food. The kitchen got cleaned in the process so maybe I need to have people over more often!
When everyone was here, they all wanted to see our water bed. There was a pretty good amount of water on the giant plastic bag. Laura went thru a bunch of clothes to give to Frank's cousin's baby. I found a few boxes of tiny baby clothes to go thru for a friend of my neice, Leslie. (Another break for about 20 minutes.) I went upstairs to dump the water from the plastic and noticed that the water leaked thru the bag!! I got all the blankets and sheets off the bed. The mattress was wet so I used towels to sop up the water. Then I heard more dripping. The water had gone all the way thru the mattress and onto the box springs!! So the bed is all apart and I've got a bucket under the leak. I used a hair dryer to dry the underside of the mattress. We're sleeping in the guest room tonight.
Everyone left and then Dianne called to see if I would keep Jack (he's 13) for the evening. We went to church (oh what fun!!! we started in the cry room & then Nate freaked out cause we weren't in the main church with the rest of the congregation, when we got there, he was still bad.) and then came home. Meagan (Cindy's sister) asked if I could watch Ava (Meagan's 3 year old daughter). Ava came over at about 7:30pm. I made a quick trip to the store for WIC & rum. What a great combination! Jack was in charge and did fine. When I got home, I had him get a bag of ice from the gas station across the street.
The 2 little ones brushed their teeth, took a bath, and got in their pj's. The pj's that Ava wore were a little bit too small but she said "They fit perfect!! I might just have to take these home with me!!" Keep in mind she's only 3. It was very cute. Neither of them wanted to go to bed but that wasn't an option. We all layed down in the bed with the lights off. Didn't work. Nate was crying & wanted up. Ava wanted to talk to Uncle Mike & her mom. Then Ava wanted a sippy cup with water like Nate. I took Nate in the other room so I could rock him to sleep while Ava stayed in the bed. He screamed some more but after about 5 minutes he was out. Ava was still awake but once I put sleeping Nate in bed next to her, she went out soon after. Jack left just before Ava fell asleep.
I did more dishes, started this blog, did some laundry, blogged a bit more, went to the basement to look for clothes for Ava (I found lots of socks, underwear, & tops but not many bottoms), did a little blogging, switched laundry, blogged, went upstairs to get ready for bed, and now I've been on a roll & am about to finish the blog I started about 2 1/2 hours ago!! (After I added pictures it's been about 3 hours since I started.)
I'm thankful we have another bedroom we can sleep in while our bedroom is out of order.
