Ahhh.....the day to day of living, don't we love it?

Well my dear readers, life strikes again. I got up this morning, intending to run to the bank and cash my paycheck, only to discover that I couldn't find it. You heard me, it has disappeared. My current thinking is that my son somehow got ahold of it and threw it away without us noticing.

Okay, I can get through that......I called and asked them to cancel said check and reissue me a new one.

But wait......

As I was walking down my hallway I noticed the smell of gas. Now, I didn't panic, mostly because I'm pregnant and have a SENSITIVE nose, but when Russ said he could smell it too? Well that's when I called Questar. They sent a very nice technician to my house and low and behold, my heater had not one, but three leaks......so he red tagged it, I now have no heat.

Then he goes outside and discovers that our water heater isn't rated for installation in trailer homes, so he red tags THAT!!!

Let's recap the day so far:

(1) lost paycheck
(2) no heater
(3) no water heater

My day just gets better and better, doesn't it. Ahh, but wait, there's more!!

Russ goes to get the mail and what should he find? A letter from the state of Utah. Seems his ex-wife has filed a complaint, she doesn't feel she's getting what she deserves. So now we have to get an attorney, go to court and defend ourselves against her wild accusations. Somedays I really dislike that woman.

You think that's it? Oh no dear readers, the day from hell is far from over. Not only do we have to deal with Russell's ex, we also have to deal with mine. Seems he thinks he can play fast and loose with custody and is setting up yet another attempt to take my daugher from me. Why? I have no idea.

*smiling* See, now I feel all better! It's so good to know I can talk to you!

On the brightside of life:

James and Judy will be here in ten days, and in twelve we get to take them to a doctor's appointment with us to see and hear the baby!!! This excites me and fills me with hope that not everyday is a bad one!!!

That and Stephanie and I have started working on a book for submission.......

So you see dear readers, not all is lost!!!

I'll keep you posted!

If only I was getting more of the damn thing read to see where we're at exactly. It's hard to figure out what needs to be changed and kept and thrown out completely when you have only read like 10 pages out of the existing 133. (revamped just a tad on my computer and the number is now 148 or there about.) Not to mention the MASSIVE amount of editing that needs to be done, including the change of tense for the entire piece. I'm feeling overwhelmed, but at the same time very excited. On Friday or Saturday or whenever it is that you want to go out we will have to spend some time talking about it. You realize you just created and excuse for us to HAVE to see each other quite frequently in the future don't you? I'm all for it though. It just feels good to have a goal where my writing is concerned. My life doesn't feel quite so meaningless now. :)

I'm done ranting and taking up all your comment space. I hope things start looking up for you shortly!

Love ya!
