Flood, fuse, freezer, = Monica has a meltdown

You have heard about my water heater dieing, well I mentioned It made a flood in my sewing room so in an effot to clean it up I plugged in some heaters and fans and my dehumidifier and consequently blew a fuse. And since the house is new to me and I was not throughly skilled in the art of relpacing such fuses. I simply ran extention cords from other areas in the house which had electricity to dry my damp room. I figured that when Jon got home he could restore power to that room. I had no idea that the outlet that my freezer was plugged into was on the same circit. and did not find out until a day and a half later when I saw the puddle of blood forming under the door of the freezer. Well this was too much. SO I called my mom and bawled and bellyached to her for two hours and in general blamed everything on Jon since he was gone hunting and leaving me to deal with this mess. (I know it is not his fault but I was in a meltdown mode)My dad came and restored power to my basement. (bless him) and we managed to get the meat freezing back down when it was still cold. The crazy part to this story, is that on Wednesday the day before the water heater decided to self combust I had decided to defrost and clean out that freezer and so
I did. and now I have a huge bloody mess in there that needs to be cleaned out. Poor Jon on Sunday morning after he got home I really let him have it and he had no clue as to what was wrong. Moral of the story, Jon didn't leave until wednesday night this week and is planning on coming home friday night (unless they shoot something). Oh by the way The twilight series has got me hooked.
Have a great week. Hopefully better than mine was last week.

I Love Technology

Alright So Jon is gone Hunting Elk (again) On Thursday I realize that I have a flood in the basement and it takes me a little while to finally decided that the problem is my water heater has rusted out the bottom. So A telephone call and an internet banking ransfer of funds and I wrote out a check 2 hours later to the repair men as they carted away my dead water heater.
If it wasn't for technology I might have had to wait a day to get on the schedual and then the guys might have wasted an hour driving around trying to find my house. (they did call from their cell phone needing directions) and I would have had to load up my kids and hauled them into the bank to get the money to pay the blessed repair men.
And thank goodness for Elk and for Jon being gone. Otherwise he might have been home and had some hairbrained idea that he could fix it himself and for cheeper And I might have been without water for days. As it is the $680.00 is spent and gone and their is nothing he can do about it and Now I can get back to cleaning up the flooded sewing room.
So next time Jon leaves I am hopeing that whatever decides to break next is another one phone call fix. LOL.

what a day!

So the kids had there first day of school that went pretty smoothly. And the afternoon with Andrew was very nice and quiet (he even took a nap) And then school was over Tasha had piano and literally 10 min. before I took Tasha to her lessons I noticed Callies ears. And soon realized that the backs of her earrings were embedded you couldn't even see them. I took her to the after hours clinic and they told me they wouldn't do anything. So I ended up in the Emergency room. When they took the earrings out it had left a nice sized hole the Doctor put a stitch in each ear. If you want to see pictures come over to my site. So what seemed like a pretty easy going day turned out to be a chaotic night. Oh and by the way Sam is in Mississippi.

doing better

Jon is home now. I made them keep him in the hospital over night. and that was a good thing. He says he feels like a million bucks (whatever that is- I prefer dollars). He is still trying to figure out how to make it to elk camp this weekend. I think he is crazy but the season opens on saturday. so we will see how he is doing. I am trying to make him lay low but I can only do so much to control the man. Thank you all for your love and prayers.
Jon and Monica and crew.

pnomonia

So Jon is in the hospital tonight with pnomonia. He will survive but was really quite sick by the time he decided that yes he needed some medical help. It took what seemed like forever for the hospital to diagnose him. but the pain medication helped relieve his pain and he was able to sleep. They wanted to send him home but I put my foot down and told them they were keeping him. I am so glad I did, because when I saw him at 8:00 tonight he still looked aweful. He is in room 404 if any of the locals want to visit or call, and he has his cell. Keep him in your prayers please.

Reunion Fun

We have made some great memories and here are a few from our trip to Idaho! I wish I had some beach photos but I had too much fun to take pictures.
Love ya all and miss you already.
