Wow, what a week! Based on my clock, it’s nearly Friday and this week has felt like it’s flown by and yet lasted forever. On Monday, I decided I was going to do a serious cleaning in my kitchen. I was going to catch up on all my dishes, wipe down the counters, clear the surfaces..everything. I got one counter cleared and discovered my kitchen sink was plugged. I didn’t worry too much about it because I had to go into town.<\/p>\n

The rest of Monday went as most Monday’s do. I was busy with the kids, waiting for Peter to get home and Mamavation business. Tuesday was an entirely different story. When my home remedies for the sink didn’t work, I decided to go buy some Draino. Since I had to go into Charlotte to pick up baby food jars, no biggie, I thought. Of course, I didn’t take into account the lines at the store, the traffic or anything else. I ended up being 15 minutes late picking up both boys. Yick!<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, I had to go into Lansing. On the way to the Salvation Army, I bought my very own pipe wrench. You see, the Draino didn’t work. From there, I went to Salvation Army and signed up for their Christmas program. I had to sign the boys up this year. Then, the gps took me down every back country road you can imagine but I did make it on time to get the boys.<\/p>\n

That night, I took the pipe wrench and attempted to remove the trap on the sink. That didn’t work. It’s stuck tight. Instead, a connecting pipe popped out instead. Luckily, it didn’t break, just wiggled loose. It did allow me to drain the sink but oy! Not what I wanted.<\/p>\n

Today, I tackled a different part of my kitchen, called a plumber and got a surprise from Misty. Her boss offered her 2 tickets to the MSU game this weekend. She thought I might like to take Ben. She did ask her boss to try to get a third ticket so fingers crossed she did because both boys badly want to go and I’d love a fun outing with the both of them. I won’t know until tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Add to all that? I have to be up way early tomorrow for the plumber. I’m planning the entire Thanksgiving dinner. Ben has a school dance tomorrow and we’ll find out who gets to go to the football game on Saturday.<\/p>\n

I love my life but I love it a bit slower than this!<\/p>\n
