It doesn't seem possible that it's only been a week since we went to Yale/New Haven, but it has. We found out on Monday Lily does have to have surgery on her hernia. She doesn't know what's going on and maybe she really won't ever understand until it happens. I'm still nervous, but I know it's a common, easy surgery and am trying to trust God through all of this. The doctor was very nice and checked out Poke-a-Dot Puppy, yes that's his name. Apparently he has a hernia too and needs surgery too. So he and Lily will be able to recover together. Unfortunately, Poke-a-Dot Puppy has gone missing so Pink Cat was a substitute but now Pink Cat is missing, I'm waiting to see who is called up to the front line next.
We've had several 'messes' this week. One day, almost all of our spices were dumped on the couch, for a beauty treatment, of course. Lily was rather cleaver in that she came into the bed and snuggled with me and told me cute stories, aka stalling. When it was time to 'get the day started' we got to the end of the hall and she said, "don't look" and tried to cover my eyes.
Two days later, we had the rest of the spices, mixed in with butter and pancakes. This time it was just a mess, no beauty treatment excuses. That day I was also greeted by an overflowing sink, apparently Lily was trying to wash off the buttery mess herself. Of course the door was closed so I just assumed the rain was really pouring down outside. That seems to be the best solution to a 3 year old, if I don't see it, it's not happening. Because the tiles and vanity were never sealed together the water poured (yes, literally) into the basement. Lily exclaimed "our house cracked open" and basically it did.
We got another ridiculous A/C quote this week, but it was accompanied by 1 hour and 30 minutes of blah blah blah. Actually the meeting was very informative, but when it comes down to it, all we care about initially is cost. So fans it is.
This weekend was supposed to be full of concerts, Tom and I were going to see Switchfoot and Lily and Timmy were going to see Max and Ruby, but I blanked on buying tickets, so we moved furniture instead. Our floors are being refinished this week. Lily said she's angry about it because she doesn't want her house messed up. Completely understandable.

Sounds like you don't have A/C just like us??? We did fans last year and 2 window units...it worked out just fine. They wanted about 3,500 for A/c on our house. I didn't think it was too bad but we choose to spend that money that we don't have elsewhere!
