Saturday: Hayman left on trip, side by side fridge/freezer goes on the fritz! Feel like I'm coming down with a cold......ick!
Sunday: Turn Mr. & Mrs. B's little one's over to their Nana. Rest on couch, watch TV. Get up and kick fridge and call it names.
Monday: Wake up to cold, nasty, rainy, snowy weather. Up early because I'm supposed to go clean houses. Walk to kitchen for cup of tea, step in GIANT puddle of water. Kick fridge again and call it more names. Unplug the darn thing and put everything into the only ice chest I can find. ( Hayman took the rest....)
Manage to look out window and capture this photo.......it was 34 degrees on Monday!
Tuesday: Take little ones to school bright and early. Go to local appliance store and pick out new fridge/freezer. Love the Maytag model, its on sale!Pick up littlest kiddo from preschool, hurry home to meet delivery men. Wait, Wait, Wait....
New fridge arrives late afternoon......delivery men take broken fridge out of house....water pours from the bottom. Clean up lake on floor.
New fridge comes into house........it is much larger then broken fridge. I panic....but it fits.....just barely!!!
Return littlest one to her Nana when Nana gets back from voting. Older little one arrives home from school via the school bus. Countrychick and I join them for dinner and watch election news.
Settle in for the evening.....phone rings off hook, drives me batty!!
Phone rings at 9:45 PM......much to late for most people to call. It's Nana down the road.....Littlest one has stuck a bead up her nose.....its stuck and everyone is in a panic.
I head down the road.........Yep, the bead is stuck and little one will not hold still so we can try to get it out. We give up and put her to bed.
I fall into bed exhausted!
Wednesday: Up early this morning. Have to be in town by 10 AM for meeting.
Wednesday: Up early this morning. Have to be in town by 10 AM for meeting.Call Nana.....littlest one is up, but refusing to let anyone near her nose.
I call hospital........they won't take her since Mom nor Dad are present and they didn't leave us a letter stating we could seek medical treatment for kiddos if the need should arise.
Head to town...will deal with bead in nose situation this afternoon.
Get to meeting on time.
Countrychick goes with Grandma for a bit.....then we all get to do something fun.
Today was our homeschool group bowling day.
Everyone bowled....even Grandma.
She has not gone bowling in 20 years.......
Grandma's got some moves!
We had a Blast!!
Arrived home this afternoon. Called Nana to check on littlest one.......
The bead came out of her nose this afternoon. Thank Heavens....I was not looking forward to getting kicked in the face again while trying to get it out!
What does tomorrow bring.....another trip to town!
I'm going to bed.........

Oh, my....yes.....sounds like a crazy week alright. Glad to hear the bead finally came out of the little one's nose. Goodness. And, that you now have a new fridge-freezer...and it fits! Enjoy! We had to get a new one a few months ago....got one with freezer on bottom...its an Amana.
The bowling sounded fun...is that your mom? Or, your grandma?
Rest up if possible and get over your cold!
Hi Jeannelle,
That is my mom in the photo. All of the kids call her Grandma, so I just call her Grandma too....=)
I just returned from another trip to town. Had to take the little ones to school again today. Good thing it was only a half day of school cause this gal is pooped!!
A nice little nap sounds good, but I have so much to get done around here since I have been gone most of the week....I must plod on.
The cold is better, not so bad this time around......
Your mom must live near you....that's good! Tomorrow, my two sisters and I are taking our mom out for lunch for her birthday!
And, I just noticed you have The Poe Shadow on your reading list! I'm still reading it....I don't want it to end, actually. I like the author's writing style and may have to find more of his books!
I like that....."plod on".....glad to hear your cold is getting better. Fall colds can hang on too long sometimes.
Jeannelle,
Sounds like you and your sisters have a nice day planned with your mom tomorrow...enjoy. Happy Birthday to your mom....=D
My mom and dad live about 40 miles from us. Mom/Grandma joins us often on our outings in town and we girls have lots of fun....=)
I'm still plodding around here, but blog reading is much more fun.....he, he
I haven't started reading the book yet, but hope to get to it soon. I loved the title when I saw it on your blog, then when I saw the book in person, it just grabbed my interest.
I'm exhausted reading your week so far! Glad you are surviving...well, sort of OK. (and I'm really ehxasuted too! holding the chairs down to the floor!) I'm surprised Bossman/wife doesn't have a standing letter of release for that purpose for Nana. That could have been worse...what would the drs have done?? Hydro always has had "open" copies of one in her purse, never knowing who's name she might have to put in the blank.
No elk?? my goodness! I've got more hunters coming tomorrow for the weekend, think I should start hunting lodge...hmmmm. These are deer hunters and there are some big ones around here. Joe will be bringing a bunch of elk meat for us when he comes...the good kind if you are going to eat elk...they graze in the alfalfa fields! Cowboy doesn't hunt, which does't hurt my feelings. I like elk, but not venison.
Hope life calms down for you!How are you ever going to get completely well if it doesn't!
Hey! I'm sorry your week was so crazy. Hopefully this one will be more calm. Next time....and I'm sure there will be...try having your daughter smell a can of pepper. It will make her sneeze and hopefully out will shoot the bead. Heard it from a Dr. once.
If you trust me not to be some wacko... and I assure you I'm not. I will make you a couple of toys and send them to you if you'd like. Along with the pattern so your daughter can try.
You can e-mail me at callen721@verizon.net if you want.
