This has been the worst week of the entire year. NOTHING has gone the way it should. It is Wednesday. I've been without a refrigerator since Monday. The new one won't be here until Friday. I can say I am a little excited about getting a new fridge, but not about paying for one. 
We bought an LG since the warranty is 7 years. The old fridge is a GE and I will NEVER purchase another GE appliance again. The salesman swore it was the best and would last us 15 years without it needing anything. We dumped almost $400 into the thing last year and it didn't last another year. It didn't even make it 5 years without needing service. So learn from my mistake, don't lose over $500 in food-don't buy GE!
The little people have driven me crazy. Yes, I know last week was Spring Break and they were stuck inside most of the time. Yes, I know TinkerBean was sick for all but 2 days of last week. Yes, I know all this, but can they just cut me a little slack and either play solo for 30 mins or at least just stop beating each other. Okay, let me rephrase that. Can Little Man PLEASE stop being so mean to his sister. If I have to put him in time out one more time this week he will have officially spent more time there than anywhere else including sleep. It's only Wednesday-where is the weekend?!?
TinkerBean is having a hard time getting back in the school grove. She's not sleeping enough at home or school and she's not listening. I kind of hate Spring Break because it confuses her so. I will be glad for next Monday to get the results of her testing she had a month ago. We may get an actual final answer to the is it Austism, Aspergers, PPD-NOS, or just really severe SPD and anxiety. At this point I can honestly say I have zero care if she's diagnosed with one or more things. I just want to get her the help she needs so she can function normally as an older child, teen, and adult. She tries to 'mainstream' and she's so sweet. She knows I've had a BAD few days and she's spending her 30 mins of down time playing with my hair (she knows it relaxes me and I think it does her too). What a sweet kiddo.
Little Man turned 3 a few days ago. Within hours of his actual time of birth he flipped the brat switch to overdrive and it has been stuck there ever since. He constantly whines. God give me strength! I can say I love him more than humanly possible, I can also say Thank God he was second or he's be an only child, and I truly understand why gerbils eat their babies. Also, I hate potty training and really need a day or 2 away.
Girl puppy is doing really well. I'm hoping to wear Motorcycle Man down and keep her. I know he's not ready for another dog (he really misses Hammy) but Nubz is TinkerBean and his dog and I need some canine companionship!
We pulled another dog (among many) today. We committed to taking her last week, but couldn't get transport until this Friday. She's a sweet 8-9 year old yellow girl that was surrendered to a high kill shelter by a woman who bred her twice a year for the last 8 years. What a horrid life, I honestly think there is a special place for her when she dies. Back to the point. I got a phone call yesterday on the way to Home Depot and they tell me she had puppies the night of the nasty storm. 10 puppies! There are now 9, but hopefully all will be well and she will be able to feed them. She's a cutie, but way too old to be having pups.
I am (kind of) guessing they are pure, since she was from a breeder and they are all yellow, chocolate, and 1 black.
Sewing this week has been a major flop. I think it has to do with my frustration and increasingly thinning patience. I can't seem to figure out pattern instructions. I hate bias tape. Let me repeat that louder. I HATE BIAS TAPE. I also think patterns are over complicated. I'm making a few things for the kids and either I am the dumbest human on earth or there is no reason for these things to be this hard. I am hoping for sanity and clarity and a few uninterrupted hours to sew this weekend.
I will have a fridge soon and I will finish a sewing project too!!
