Where to START?!


I guess I will start by saying "Time flies when your basement is flooded!" Yes, you read right, a river running through the basement from the washer. I guess that if you don't have the knob in the "click" position, it doesn't know to stop and just continues to flow until someone turns it off. Thank God Kirk 2 went downstairs before K3 game on Friday night. He still doesn't remember why he went down there, but he did. The entire end of the basement had rushing water....yes, the carpet in the "new" room was soaked about 1 foot into the room. Not good...we ended up spending 2 1/2 hours sucking up water, ripping apart the basement, and moving all the TV careo cabinet components in the other room. The good news....we figured out the washer problem on our own and saved $100 because we didn't have to have Sears out and the basement is now clean as a whistle.

Believe it or not, we were able to rush through the drive through of Wendy's and make it to K3 game and only missed about 10 minutes of play. Not bad considering all of his games are two 5 inning games. He had a good game. The hole in his mit was fixed and his batting was ok. He had some great hits...but they had some great catches too. Oh, well!

Does anyone know of a boot camp for 8 year olds? Maybe just a 3 month long summer camp? Konnor is out of control. He has to be "doing" something all the time. I tried telling him to sit down, Beth, but it didn't work. He also went to dinner with friends on Thursday and got some milk in his food (chicken fingers are a no-no). So not only is he spazy, he is also in a rotten mood. And I use the word "rotten" loosely. I am hoping to have his buddy over today because quite frankly I need a break!

Summer camp? I say send him on his way!! :) OK, maybe not! You can send him to me, he was great at the trailer. Isn't that how it always is, with someone else they're "angels"?? Sorry about your basement, that totally sucks!!! Hope you got a chance to relax today!
