Not Even Lukewarm!

Last night we did the usual bath time routine and Madison went last. The hot water ran out pretty fast but it was enough for her to bathe. About an hour and 1/2 later I went to wash my hands and I waited, and waited, and waited for hot water. Nada, nothing, not even lukewarm!

Have you ever lived life without your water heater for 12 hours, how about a day? I do believe the water heater is the most under thought of appliance in your home. At least until it doesn't work. We have used this one for 11 years and yes it did run out of hot water on occasion, but never did it not do its job. You use your water heater everyday but you rarely see it or even pay much attention to it. I will testify that I have a whole new appreciation for the water heater.

Of course I was wondering how much is this going to cost. I am so proud of Mark. Although it took him a better part of the day we have a new (bigger) and working water heater. It is only bigger because the 30 gallon cost more than the 40. Go figure. I am sure he saved us $100's of dollars today. I kidded him and asked him if I could spend the savings on Christmas. He didn't say anything. His silents means no. He didn't even kid back and say his usual "I'll split it with you". Plumbing makes Mark crabby. At least he got a hot shower when he was all done.

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school. I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family. I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep. Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken. I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB! Okay this is my only job on earth. I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep. I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30". He was awake and heard her too. We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep. Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan. He wanted to sneak out our

Mohawk!

Um, where to start? I went away for the weekend with girlfriends to get some R & R and scrapbook. Little did I know I was going to come home to a Mohawk. GO RAYS! I think Nathan is loving the attention that comes with such a dramatic do. I really can't believe Mark did such a crazy thing. I don't think anyone that saw Nathan at church could believe it either. For all you wondering, I love it and I will go away on another girls weekend. It's not like he gave all the kids a mohawk. The girls still have their lovely locks.

Time

Yes, my topic again is about time. This one is not about the waste of time, but the passing of time. As in how long it has been over a period of many days, years, etc. Saturday night I went scrapbooking at a friends house. Something we have done for about two years! WHAT? Two years, at least once a month. Where did that time go? I feel like it was just yesterday that Meagen and I where going to Anita's. At the time if you would have told me my scrap buddy was moving in the matter of months to Fuquay-Varina I would have said two things, "Where in the world it that?" and then I would have said "yeah, right!". She probably would have said the same things at the time. I now see it all as a God wink. Most of you have been to a Women of Faith conference and have heard the term God wink. I appreciate all the God winks in my life. See, at the time I didn't know Anita except from an occasional candle party or birthday party. We were aquanitices at the
