No family party is complete...

without a visit to Instacare! Let me backup a little. Yesterday JP went to a birthday party for his Grandma and I went to a baby shower for my sister-in-law. After the shower, my sisters and I were going to a movie. Jp was going to go to the U of U game with a friend. I fed the dogs and off to the movie I went. I called JP to let him know I fed the dogs and his sister answers the phone. I ask if they are still at the party and Jennifer is like "Well, I will just break it to you...we are at Instacare." I get worried and ask what happened. Jennifer tells me that JP either broke his elbow or tore ligaments. I just laugh and she comments that at least I can laugh.Well, thats all you can do in a situation like that! She hands the phone over to JP and I get mad at him for not calling me sooner. He says its no big deal, he is ok. I explain that visiting an Instacare IS a big deal! He justs laughs at me. This is the part in the story where I feel like a bad wife but my movie was about to start and I knew that JP was in Centervile so I tell him my movie is about to start but I want him to call me after they take x-rays and know what happened. Yes, I did not drop everything and go to his side. I know I am a horrible wife but when your husband has been to the Instacare as much as mine has and he didn't even bother to call me I didn't feel too bad.
To make matters worse JP is on call this weekend and he couldn't even go to the game because he had to work. He did not break his elbow, he just tore ligaments and gets to visit a specialist this week sometime. Oh, and if you are wondering how this happened it's simple, JP was playing tackle football with the other guys at the party. See this is why you don't play tackle football, especially when you are almost thirty!

Flood

Our basement flooded on Monday. I discovered it when I was doing laundry and the carpet sloshed when I walked on it. I called my brother Joseph and he came over and helped us move everything out of the room. Thankfully nothing was ruined. I thought the water may have come from the air conditioner but Joseph pulled up the blinds to one of the windows and there was about three inches of water in it. Turns out a sprinkler pipe broke in the back and who knows how long it has been leaking. It was pretty entertaining though because Joseph kept telling JP he would need to pull up the carpet pad and JP kept saying he wasn't going too. They went back and forth for awhile, meantime I am just in the hallway listening and smiling. Two stubborn people make for some entertainment! Well after all that JP ended up pulling up the pad the next day. My dad was kind enough to pick up all the box fans he has at his office and bring them over. Our basement is now a disaster! It is going to take awhile to recover but the up side is I will now get rid of stuff I don't use because I won't want to find a place to put it. DI here comes a lot of stuff!

New Low

Now I am not one for yelling at random people but yesterday I hit an all time low and well, yelled at some random person. See I was dropping my parents off at the airport and it went smoothly until a car decided to pull right up my butt! I was waiting for the truck in front of me to move because I had no where else to go. I realized the truck in front of me was unoccupied. Someone had parked and left their car at the drop off area. This made my mad! Then the lady who pulled up my butt starts honking at me to move but I have no where to go. I can see her in my rear view mirror getting mad at me and she honks again. I get out of my car turn to her, put my hands in the air and say "I can't move because you are way to close to me in back and the truck in front of me has no driver in it." I then get back in my car and wait. She backs up about 5 inches, which is no help so I continue to sit and watch her in my rear view mirror. She backs up a little more so I try to get out. Still to no avail. Finally I think the stupid lady behind me gets it and backs up more and I make it out. When I finally make it out who should show up but the retarded driver of the truck. I almost rolled my window down and yelled at him too but decided against it as he was a big scary looking man and I wanted to live! Not one of my high points. Oh and did I mention that my parents got to watch the whole thing, as did the other people around us!
