Where have I been? The weather really threw me this week. It was so nasty and rainy, I just didn’t want to do anything! I did the usual necessary housework (that would be laundry, bathrooms, & kitchen- the dust is still there and the carpets remain dirty.) But I didn’t really go anywhere- except Wednesday when I spent the day at Tim’s school, first for an “author’s tea” (cute!) then for the bookfair (to a teacher I shall not name- when there are already two classes of kindergarteners jammed into the tiny space we had, all of whom need help making up their bookfair wishlists- why does it seem like a good idea to add 20 3rd graders into the mix? That sign up sheet with the times on it was there for a reason… )
The doorbell melted last night. Really. Pat came home from work and said “What’s that smell?” A nasty metallic smell, right in the front hall. We couldn’t figure it out- till I heard a quiet buzz coming from the doorbell. Pat took off the cover and it was smoking! He grabbed a screwdriver and disconnected it. Turns out the back door button was broken and stuck and the constant signal was just too much. Glad Pat was here- I would have probably shut off all the power in the house since I have no idea what circuit the doorbell is on.
But, on the bright side, I booked two trips to WDW yesterday! We’re taking the kids in September, and I booked the Plunderfest trip for me and Kathi (if you don’t know what Plunderfest is, don’t worry about it- if you do- hope to see you there!) I fell right back into planning mode… I’ll try not to let it take over my life as much as it did last time.
Memorial Day weekend means lots of work around the house, and family in CT. At least the weather’s finally good again!
Holy cow for the doorbell! Here, the weekend is a visiting friend and…no real plans. I’m loving it!
