What a Weekend!!

This weekend was a good one for me, but not so good for Gary. It all started with me coming home on Friday to hear that our sump pump was running non-stop. It has been doing that for a few days and we usually just unplug it and plug it back in and it works just fine. However, this time was different. I unplugged the darn thing and then went to plug it back in and nothing! I tried this 2 or 3 times to make sure there was still power and each time no pump. GREAT!!! I called Gary and explained to him what was happening, needless to say he was a little ticked off. (Our basement had just flooded about a week and half ago for about the 4th time, hence why he was a little upset.) So I sat next to the pump for about an hour with the wet/dry vac waiting for water to overflow and for Gary to return home to fix it. When he got home he checked the pump and the darn thing had fried. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! We just bought that pump a year ago and already it was junk. We were not happy. So, Gary had to run to Lowe's to get a new pump and I continued to sit next to the pump making sure the basement wouldn't flood. Finally at 9pm the pump was fixed and working great. What a great start to the weekend!!

Saturday morning Gary had to work and I had to run into work for a couple hours. We left Kodie at home to sleep in. Kodie called me close to 11am to tell me that the basement had flooded....WHAT THE HELL!! He said that he was getting ready to eat breakfast and didn't hear the pump and went down stairs and found the damage. Luckily my dad was on his way over and was able to get he pump going again until Gary got home. I'm not really sure why the pump stopped working and I really didn't want to ask since Gary spent the entire day sucking up water and I went to a baby shower. By the end of the day, the basement was water free, thanks to my hardworking hubby and son!

Sunday started out as a good day, but by mid afternoon, not so good for Gary once again. It all started with Kodie and I raking leaves and enjoying the weather. I had decided to take a break from raking because I knew I was going to pay for it later if I didn't. I went inside to do some laundry when I heard someone yelling in the back yard. I looked in the back and saw Gary stomping up to the house with his face as red as can be. I just got out of his way and let him do his thing, whatever that was. I then saw him and Kodie with 2x4's walking out to the lawnmower..yes you guessed it, Gary got the lawnmower stuck. Let me tell you, he didn't just get it stuck in the yard, he pretty much buried the darn thing. He had to tow the mower out using his trusty Pathfinder! (I hope you are all laughing as hard as I was when I found this out.) The poor guy just couldn't catch a break this weekend. The weekend ended with a good steak dinner that I made on the grill (this was my first) and then decided that everyone could use a little Maggie Moo's. Ice cream always makes everyone feel a little better, even after a weekend like this:)

Baby Update: This Wednesday we have an ultrasound to check fetal growth and to see which way she is laying. The midwife and myself think she is transverse, so I will be interested to see. Can't wait and will update everyone later this week.
