Notes from Real Life..
Crazy doesn't begin to cover it, folks.
And yet I can't think of a better word to describe the last week.
It started out great. I was very productive at work, got through my "pre-Friday" to-do list on Wednesday, if you can believe it, and got my classes back on schedule. No mean feat, I assure you. Wednesday night I went to rehearsal, we went out to dinner and did some shopping, and then we had a quiet evening in front of the TV.
Thursday we awoke to what sounded like a helicopter hovering over the house. And then, as we both got up and began to move about, we noticed that the water pressure in the house seemed very low. But, neither of us needed a shower, and we both had to be out of the house early, so we put it on the mental back burner.
Until I opened the front door to go out to the car. I was greeted by a fountain and a flood.
Some IDIOT thought it would be funny to break our hosepipe off at the top of the dirt. Oh well, they got theirs...a face full of water. HA. MORON. You could see where they were standing... clearly they were in the path of the fountain.
But seriously, what kind of IDIOT doesn't know that there's water in water pipes. No shit.
We called the police, and the officers who came out were highly amused. To say the least. Like us, they figure it was probably a kid. Especially since Hubby had a kid threaten to egg our house earlier in the week. This is being followed up by the PD and at the school.
Friday was a boring day. I can't remember what I did. No kidding.
Saturday we worked all day in the yard, doing a lot of ripping and planting. We had IHOP green eggs and ham and Who Cakes for breakfast. YUMMY!
Sunday I woke up sick. SICK. Like bad tummy sick. If that wasn't bad enough, I had to be at a "work retreat" at 5pm.
I am still moderately queasy. So I am staying home today.
oh honey, I'm sorry
and, feel free to blame me for the water thing.

Posted by: Teresa at March 18, 2008 01:51 PMThat's a crazy week; I'd know it anywhere! Hope you feel better... and I hope the cops get the little bugger who broke the pipe!
Posted by: pam at March 18, 2008 03:27 PMWow, that sucks about the pipe. and the tummy thing too. Do you think it was IHOP? We're headed that way this Saturday, but not if the WhoCakes are venomous. =P
Posted by: Amanda at March 19, 2008 08:14 AMI think it's going around. Not the tummy thing, the "trouble and turmoil" thing. Really, there ought to be a vaccination for that. *impish grin*
I hope you get to feeling better...and that things improve on your end.
xoxoxo
