Oh Crappy Days

The past couple of days have sucked! It started yesterday when we found huge wet spots in the boys' rooms. We check out our pipes on the air conditioner which return the water outside and it was leaking. We called the plumber who told us our pipes were probably blocked up, so get a wet/vac and suck out the slime. We go to Lowe's and buy a wet/vac. It sucks out lots of water, but not any slime. The water continues to leak. Sarah inspects it a second time and notices a big crack on one of the pipes. Thus, begins my crappy day.

The second stanza goes like this. Brenden e-mailed me with a paint drawing! Yeah!!! The only bad thing is I can't finish the drawing. I don't know where some of the fine points for detailing the drawing, but I do know how to do some of the work I was unable to finish and I couldn't remember how to do it.

The third stanza happened today. First, I called Shelter Insurance to see where the hiring process was. I had a bad feeling when I didn't receive a phone call yesterday for a second interview. Shelter called back last week saying they were going to continue interviewing the select few this week so I kind of knew this was coming. The third stanza part II goes like this. I was driving through Devils Den Park today to deliver a package in a town called Strickler on a road called Bug Scuffle road. On my way through Devils Den Park I saw about 6 deer, which is always fun. The sad part is one of the deer ran in front of my FedEx truck. This is how the killing occurred. I was driving and see two deer; one to my left and one to my right. The deer on my left goes left and the deer on my right goes right. For whatever reason the deer on my right looks back and decides to go left, which was directly in front of my truck. I slammed on my brakes but it was too late. Since the truck is so big and heavy the deer felt like a little bump in the road. That made me feel horrible and I wanted to go home after that, but I couldn't because I volunteered to work Mon-Wed to make extra money.

I probably wouldn't have volunteered but we need to get rid of debt and lots of things around our house are starting to fall apart. I hope your past two days were better than mine.
