Weekend, Break downs and books

Posted in Just Thoughts

How's that for a heading eh? LOL!!  I haven't had much online time lately been to busy trying to get caught up!

Last Thurs. our washing machine broke down.  The dial that controls the cycles is seized up.  Every time I get caught up on laundry and other large chores something has to happen! ARRG    Our oven has also been not working for almost a month now.  Thankfully I do have a counter top oven thing, it's kind of like a huge slow cooker but you can bake in it to.  Still it doesn't hold as much as a full size oven.  Anyway dh called our appliance repair man on Fri. morning and he said he could make it out that day to have a look, he had another call in the area.  Well he didn't make it out, stopped by on Sat. to apologize for that the other call took a lot longer then he thought and said he would be out Mon.  He would fix the oven and get the part number of the washer dials to order that in.  We get back from the midwives on Mon. and nope he hadn't been here...I'm trying sooo hard to be patient and not mad!!   He's such a nice fella and is so busy because he does do great work.  But I want them fixed!! I normally have 2 to 3 loads of laundry a day and have 3 kids in cloth diapers.  We had to switch to disposables until this gets repaired and ouch that is expensive!

Oh well...LOL

On Sat. dh was working on the sun room/porch floor.  He has half of the new sub floor built.  YIPPEE its coming along nicely.  He's hoping to have time to get the other side done this week to.  We also need to get the strapping on the house done.  He would really like to have that done and stained by the end of Aug.

Sunday we get to visit with some good friends, we hadn't been able to get together in a while.   We had a wonderful time!  And she gifted me with some clothes also, so now I have more then 3 things that fit over my big baby tummy and I can nurse in LOL!!  This is the farthest into a pregnancy that I've nursed so most of my preggy clothes are dresses that are not nursing friendly.  Even though baby girl only nurses a few times a day now, I want to be able to feed her when ever she wants to.

We also celebrated baby girls 1st birthday this weekend!! WOW!!

Monday on the way home from the midwives I stopped in to a thrift shop for a minute.  I found a few good things for the girls and a few nice books to.  I found a book called the Carrot Seed that I needed for the B4FIAR program for only .25.  I also found the Velveteen Rabbit, Little Woman and Stewart Little.
