Break Time! Oh man......I really REALLY need a SHE fix. It's one of those days that I just want to soak up your essence and carry you with me.
DH installed the new lights in the kitchen and they look FANTASTIC. The installation ended up being a little more excitement than we had planned on though. DH and I were both up in the attic when he accidentally hooked onto a hot water pipe and broke it. HOT WATER everywhere. Hot water in the attic.....dripping through the ceiling and onto the floor in multiple rooms. I was first to come down the attic ladder so I went directly to the Hot Water Heater to turn the valve off. NO VALVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the time I discovered that, DH had come down the attic ladder and he went outside and turned the water off to the whole house. While DH was doing that I turned all the hot water faucets in the house on trying to divert as much of the Hot water from the busted pipe as I could. Needless to say....we had a mess to clean up. We still do. I pulled wet insulation out of the attic area (insulation is about a foot thick) and put it into tubs to dump. There are areas that got wet that we can't see (inside floor and walls). I have multiple fans going to try and dry as much of it up as we can. I don't know how this will end up. Probably will mean a new kitchen ceiling and maybe replacing some walls. I keep telling myself that this was not a problem - just an inconvenience. and frustration. A problem is something that can't be fixed. This can be fixed.
Homeschool Day #67 happened. I am a bit shocked how easy homeschool is now. I have things organized so they can still happen on really hectic days.
I spent 2 hours at public school with DS9 today. He had lunch and recess with his friends.
About a dozen of "the girls" on DH side of the family gathered for lunch today. We celebrated DAunt birthday. It was a fun time.
After picking up DGD6 from school, I took her to get her first haircut. For the first time EVER, DGD6 wanted to cut her waist length hair. DD said to let DGD6 decide how she much she wanted to cut off. DGD6 told me that she wanted her hair cut the same as her BFF. I texted the BFF Mom and asked for her to send me a picture of BFF hair. That made it sooo easy. DGD6 pointed to her BFF picture on my phone and told the stylist that is what she wanted her hair to look like. Her waist length hair is now shoulder length. DGD6 is thrilled. It's fun to see how kids think. They don't see race or difference in people. DGD6 says she looks like her BFF now. Her BFF is Asian and DGD6 is blonde ...and hot pink...YES STILL. They physically look nothing alike.......except in DGD6 mind they are twins.
