Black Cloud in Review

Let me paint a picture of my/our last week. It all began on Saturday night. We had a pool party that day and I basically worked in the kitchen and tended to Baker the entire day and spent approx. 10 minutes in the pool. So after a ZERO relaxing day I went to bed early. Until around 3:00 am when I was woken up to a...BUG crawling in my EAR!! I of course, flung it out. In my grogginess I didn't freak out..yet. When I gathered my thoughts I realized I needed to find this bug that was probably still alive. So, I get up and pull back the covers and found something similar to this:


Then begins the freak out. Of course I cannot sleep for several hours.

Cut to Sunday morning. When I did wake up, we decided to get ready to go to church but it was awfully hot. Why does our thermostat say its 84 in here? If you know me, I HATE to be hot and I get hot very easily. It really puts me in a bad mood. We realize our A/C just isnt working right at all. So, we pack up and head to my Mother-in-law's apartment. It has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Oh, and her sister is in town for 2 weeks. SO, needless to say its tight quarters over there.
Since there is no TV in the bedroom, we decided to rent a movie and play it on our laptop. Brent put the movie in and nothing happened. So, he pops the movie back out and the DVD disappeared..into the computer.

Cut to Monday-a.k.a. "DAY OF HELL" at work. I also had an endodontist apptmoint to look at my super sensitive tooth. Guess what? I have to have a root canal. Lovely.

Cut to yesterday. I forgot to mention that a repair man came out on Monday and "fixed" our A/C and it began working fine. Until Wednesday. Brent got home and it was 86 in our house. This time, it cannot be fixed. We have to replace the entire A/C unit! Not only is that a billion dollars, but it could take up to a week to fix!! So, last night we began our lengthy stay in the apartment. Did I mention Brent's brother is coming into town and staying (with Beth & 2 yr. old Izabelle) tonight? So, 6 adults and 2 children in that tiny little apartment tonight.

Oh and one more thing, my camera is broken so I have no way to take pictures for who knows how long! Make that 3 more things: I woke up this morning with an eye infection and Baker has a cold.

Is this getting old?

We are headed to Dothan for the weekend for an impromtu trip and to stay with my parents and stretch out.

I apologize for the pity party, but when will this black cloud lift?
