umpkin: Good Morning!
Woke to pouring rain this morning - you know the kind of morning you want to just roll over, pull up the covers and go back to sleep........
Yesterday we got a knock on the door around 5:30 - power company rep - transformer across the street was pulling too much power, unsafe - we have to cut your power for a little while. I'm thinking, man difficult child is not going to like this - he just got bought the new Fallout game on the way home from school - he's been waiting and saving....
So I tell difficult child and he's ok with it. Then the guy comes back and says it will have to be replaced and the 5 houses on that grid will be without power until probably midnight or so!
difficult child handles the news great! So he and I spent a couple hours playing cards by candlelight! We played, hearts, then war and then he asked me to teach him how to play poker - so I taught him how to play 5 card draw, deuces wild! Even broke out the poker chips. For someone who just learned to play, he sure took the majority of the chips! Then we found a charge left on his portable dvd player so we laid in his bed and watched 1/2 of The Dark Knight. All in all, a nice mom and son evening!
Lots of errands this morning - I will probably spend about 3 hours out this morning running around. I hate to say it, but I've one more thing to get and then all my Christmas shopping for the kids is done! The plumber finally has some time for me this afternoon and is coming to install a new toilet in my downstairs bath, fix the seal on my upstairs guestroom toilet, replace the shower head in my shower, and recaulk the shower enclosure in the guest room (as long as he is here I figure I might as well get some work done that's been needed for awhile). If you remember, I had a leak in my living room ceiling about 5 weeks ago! He's been so busy on our big project downtown that he hasn't been able to get here.
But, I don't want to have the painter fix the hole in the ceiling until I know there are no more leaks! Want to get that ceiling fixed before the holidays begin!
Hope your Wed is a smooth one
