Yesterday.....

Oh did I have a day yesterday. Let me tell you about it. It started out well. My friend Marcie helped me hem Micah's scout pants and with that I was don't with my last YW project. Yippee I will be getting my YW Recognition Award (adult version ;) this Sunday. So I was happy. I put the boys down for a nap, also a high light of my day. hehe

As I was leaving there room, I thought if felt a bit warm. Oh it must just be me. So I layed down to read and yes it was warm. So I went to look at the termistat. 82 degress...... OH NO, something is wrong with my AC. This can't be happening. 7 mths prego, 100 degress outside, and no AC. I called Micah and went to check outside. It wasn't running so he said to check the circut box. It looked like it had tripped so he told me to turn it off then back on. (Notice I am blaming this on Micah hehe). As soon as I turned it back on, the phone went dead and my neighbor's AC stopped. No I didn't cause that right, wrong....

Our house and 4 of our neighboors houses lost power. How long you ask, 7 hours!!!!!!!!! Of course there was a bigger outage in Vail, so they took priority. So when they finally showed up at 9:30pm it took them all of 10 minutes to restore power. That is good you say, yes except our AC still didn't work. So we called the AC man. But at least I had a fan. ;)

He was not thrilled to come out at 10pm but he came. So at 11pm we had power and AC again. I was able to slept happily. But that is not all. Durning this time, my cell phone went dead, so I had no way to comunicate with anyone. Micah had a Stk YW meeting so he was gone from 7pm - 9pm. I broke down in tears twice. (hormones hehe) And when we got in the van to come home after eating at Carl's JR (and loitering for as long as we could in their AC) the car was having a hard time starting. Yes the battery was going dead.

So this morning I went and replaced the battery. So that was my day yesterday. But after all that, I survived. And I am even more greatful for my AC!!!!

Maybe if we'd stayed in better touch over the past few years, you'd know that when I say "Wahh wahh wahhhhh" you know that I'm saying it with so much love! :) just kidding. i can't even imagine living in arizona WITH air conditioning, let alone without! glad it's all back to normal!

I am just so glad you got it all back up and running so quickly (relatively)! Did anyone tell you the cause of all this? Modern conveniences can be such a pain, but somehow so necessary!

Oh my heck! Poor you!! You could have come to my house and hung out. I may have even fed ya!

Did you seriously trip up 7 houses??? How crazy is that! Well, it makes for a good story! It's always the crazy life moments that make for the best story telling. One of life's ironies I suspect. Well, lucky for you that you got your AC fixed at 11 at night. Awesome service man you guys have! Hang in there- hormones will balance out, but then you won't have anything to blame the crying on. It's a catch 22.

How did people survive without A/C? I might have to siesta all day long if that was the case.

As for Addison, love the name! My little niece is named Addison and we all call her Addie. I think it's an adorable girls name.
