Speechless
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10

A Crazy Week!
Our week started by my school having open house Monday evening. Then I come home to find Alan telling me the air conditioner/heating unit isn't working. OK.....so we call our home warranty and get someone scheduled to come fix it.
Tuesday, was Andrew's Art Show which I was looking forward to. I picked up the kids from school, and grabbed two Rosa's Taco platters and headed home. I put everything down and went toward the bedrooms and I heard water leaking somewhere and I noticed the carpet felt strange as I walked on it. The hot water heater had a corroded pipe and was spraying water everywhere. I am vacuuming up the water and did not get to go to Andrew's art show. Alan had a football meeting with parents at the school after the Art show, so he took Andrew to it and took a picture of his award winning art, while I am at home trying to clean up a huge mess and waiting on the plumber to arrive. On top of that, I was coming down with a sinus infection and was starting to feel terrible. It is nearly 8:30 and I have made another phone call to our home warranty people and discovered that they really had not called anyone for an EMERGENCY call. So we end up in a hotel for the night.
Wednesday, Alan stayed home from school and worked very hard all day trying to clean up all of the water damage. He used our carpet cleaner to suck the water out and he told me he used towels to soak up water and then would throw them in the dryer and go back to vacuuming again. When the towels were done drying, he would start the whole process over again. Finally, a plumber showed up and replaced the copper pipe. I then come home to help Alan as much as I can but after awhile, Alan looks at me and says, "I'm tired and your sick, go to bed and I am going to go rest." I didn't argue.
Thursday, I went to the doctor and got two shots and two prescription and yes I still went to school. I have UIL coming up............there is NO WAY I am missing any chance to rehearse my Junior High Ladies!!!! The air conditioning man showed up after lunch to fix the air/heating unit. Meanwhile, we are still trying to dry up the carpet in the hallway and the office.
I am expecting tomorrow to be much better.

On a much happier note, Anna received her Bible at church for saying all 66 books of the Bible On Sunday February 20, 2011. Eric and Mica Ribble ( Portis Ribble's Nephew) presented her with the Bible. Mica is the interim Children's Minister until we hire a new one.
Andrew received an EXCELLENT ribbon this year for his "Lion" art work. I had no idea how much his Art work had improved. This is the first piece I have gotten to see all year. I can't wait to see what he brings home in May. Way to go Andrew!!!!!
