Quick Note
So really quick.... So sorry for the slackness (again). It has been so crazy here. The house has been started and we have had to do some emergency paperwork and get that filed, blah blah. Cleaned on Saturday and watched football (so sad about the Tigers- maybe next week.) Then yesterday afternoon B was outside doing yardwork after church and heard something under the house. It was one of our main water lines. It had burst. Great. Instead of paying a plumber 8 hundred million bucks to come out on a Sunday at 6 pm, B - being the total handyman he is- decided to fix it himself. He ran to Lowe's to get things right before they closed and came home to fix it, only to realize that one of the key parts was missing from one of the pieces. He tried to rig it, but no go. I felt so bad for him... Annelise, being his shadow, was under the house with him in the musty, wet dark, holding a flashlight for him while he worked. That child would literally attach herself to his hip if she could. So- he went to his office to shower and left early this morning to go back to Lowe's before work and get the final pieces. No shower for me this morning, which is one of my "things"- I do not leave the house without showering, so I feel like a grimy mess right now. Gotta work and then go pick up Emmaline. Hopefully B will have it fixed before time to go get Annelise! I want to post some photos from our hike and also some pics of the girls that are just awesome , but B has to scan those because I am so computer retarded and he has not had time. Maybe tonight he can do that. I'm over my Obama rant. I figured that what doesn't kill me makes me stronger, ya know? I can live with it for 4 years. I gave it to God and He will take care of us, so I'm done with it. Anyway, hopefully pics will be on here tomorrow and I will have showered by then....... One can only hope!

Jess, just to let you know, any drug store has these cool little grown up diaper wipes for those who can't shower. We always keep some in our home for two reasons you never know when a pipe might bust and our pipes freeze sometimes during the winter. I just figure I'd share- I don't do well with stinky pits either! LOL! Hope it gets cleared up soon, if not you can always take a ride to Clemson!! Shower and dinner would be waiting :}
Hope you have a good one!!
Yea...sad about the tigers..this year is a bust but at least they are learning...Dabo made a quite gutsy call at the end of the game too:) at least he's trying...
Yes...over the Obama too...at leat until he screws up and then I'm all over it...
Good luck with the house and your current house problems..
