Murphy's Law Part 2

So it was 80 degrees in our house, my Dad and his wife were going to be here in 20 min. I had already messed up the lasagna and Cheese Biscuits. Murphy's Law was in full effect.

Brett went outside to check the breaker. It was not tripped. He turned the AC breaker off and back on. He came back inside and nothing happened. He said he would go to the other side of the house and check the AC unit.

Here is a pic of me putting the lasagna together . . .



Brett walked back into the yard and starting yelling, "Come here, you have to see this!" So I go out side and this is what I find.

I freaked out!!!

Murphy's Law

Last Thursday we had my Dad and his wife over for dinner. I really wanted to make a good impression. I only had 1 hour to put dinner together and clean up the house. I started to put the lasagna together. Brett got home and I asked him to make the Cheese Biscuits. Well I was trying to tell Brett and story and I got the lasagna layers all out of order. I got mad at myself! I have made lasagna a million times . . . I told Brett that I couldn't talk I had to concentrate. As I am focused on the lasagna Brett asks where the baking soda is. The thing is Cheese Biscuits don't need baking soda. Brett realized that he was making the recipe at the top of the page - not the Cheese biscuits at the bottom of the page. He had put in a Tablespoon and a half of salt in the mix. He just doubled the recipe and it end up being fine.

Needless to say I was flustered!!! I was sweating bullets - literally. I was sweating. I went over to the thermostat and it was 80 degrees in our house!!! I turned it down to 60 degrees. Nothing happened. I turned it off and back on. Nothing happened. I turned to fan only. Nothing happened. I started to panic! My Dad would be here in 20 min and it was 80 degrees. I ran around and turned off all the lights and turned the fans on high. Brett ran outside to check the breaker.

But the trouble didn't end there. . . .To find out what happened you will have to check back tomorrow . . .

You know it's bad . . .

You know it is bad when you have a nightmare. It's really bad when that nightmare has your biggest fear - snakes. But it is really bad when your nightmare is so realistic that you wake your husband up!

So last night I dreamed that some how a snake had gotten into our house. A big, mean, going to eat you snake. In my dream I ran to the bedroom to tell Brett about the snake and have him save me. I woke up myself up and realized that I was shaking Brett and that I was telling him there was a snake in the house.

Sadly he went back to sleep right away, I did not.

Paint Paint Paint

Tonight we will finish the kitchen!!!! I am so happy because the major painting projects will be finished. Brett did an awesome job this weekend. He got on the extension ladder to peal the last bit of wallpaper off and paint that corner. I really feel like the house is "put together" and I can finally relax. Also the guest bedroom and office are about 80% unpacked. :)

Date Night

Tonight is date night for Brett and me. We have decided that at least once a month we will go out on a date. It might be dinner and a movie, it might be pick up fast food and play a board game at home, it might be going to a play at the Rep. But we want to continue to date while we are married an build a strong foundation for our married and family.

Any suggestions for future date night activities?
