The last few days have tried my patience in every way possible, but I feel like I handled most of it pretty well. Tuesday I came home to find my perfectly clean house a wreck. Insulation, dust, wires . . . everywhere! I decided I couldn’t handle watching the mess, so I went left and went grocery shopping. It was also man central there. 4 guys from Brinks were installing our alarm system. Kevin’s dad nicely offered to come help install our new air conditioner thermostat. It’s one that you can program to turn up or down at certain times of the day. He’s been wanting to get one for a while, and we thought it would be helpful in lowering our electric bill. (Since last months bill was OUTRAGEOUS!) Well, the thing wasn’t as easy to install as expected. To make a long story short, our air conditioner stopped working. So now we have to pay money to have a professional come look at it and hopefully install the new system. All to save a couple bucks! Kevin’s parents were nice enough to volunteer their extra bed to us for the night . . . whew, we were saved from the long night of tossing and turning in the heat! So today the air is getting fixed. Tonight the house will be cleaned. Tomorrow we will hopefully go to Ikea and the Cheesecake Factory! Then we will enjoy our lovely air conditioned house all weekend!

In other news, this is my newest want . . . or possibly this . Can’t decide. I guess I have a while though since a new couch isn’t really on our agenda! HA. Isn’t it funny that once you make a couple big purchases you think you have lots of money and can buy everything? I hope I’m not the only one who thinks like that.
