This week was a busy one.

Final vacation plans and arrangements are made.

The main thing with that was finding someone to house sit/dog sit for us. My doggies used to go to my VBFF Carol’s house to stay but since we’re up to 4 doggies and she has 5 of her own I thought that may be a bit much for even her. She actually has her own zoo at her house. No joking her pets consist of guinea pigs, chinchilla’s, turtles, birds, cats, horses, fish, the doggies I mentioned and I’m sure there’s something I’m missing but nonetheless I figured it was best to have them stay home. Not only that but Tucker gets car sick and Phoebe thinks anything she goes for a ride in is her personal toilet. So we have found the perfect dogsitter.

I also had another maternity session this week followed by a brunch/baby shower for my friend Michele. The following were some snapshots I took while at our fun gathering:

My friend Heather and her little boy.

My friend Michele’s daughter.

This one is definitely a girly girl and she loves to twirl.

I’m sorry to those of you who have tried leaving comments for the past couple of days and haven’t been able to. I think the theme I was using just wasn’t compatible with my version of wordpress. It seems to be working at the moment.

Thank you to those who took the time to email and let me know they weren’t working.

Not only was our heat pump destroyed this week by a falling gutter.

All, (not only the one that fell into the heat pump) of our gutters were destroyed by ice and snow this week.

The heat pump was replaced.  Luckily the insurance has already reimbursed us for that.

We called the gutter people out to take a look and replace the fallen gutter.

The gutter man told us they would all need replaced because the weight of the ice had warped most of them.  No joke about that either.  I looked around and they are all completely stopped up with ice and whatever it is gutters get stopped up with in the deep backwoods.  I’m guessing leaves and tree crud.  Which is causing water to spill out absolutely everywhere.

So early in the week they will all be replaced.

Friday morning My Christopher got the car stuck at the end of the driveway.  You remember, the piece of crap red car that I completely believe is jinxed.  I’m really beginning to be tired of snow.

Saturday morning upon arriving home from work we pulled into the driveway only to find that the truck was not where we left it.  It appeared to us that the crazy thing slid on the ice down a hill and was stopped from catapulting down the ravine into the forest and to a fiery death at the bottom of the creek bed by none other than a very small log.  We decided it was probably best to leave the thing until after sleeping to give the ice and snow time to melt and hopefully make it easier to back back up into the driveway.  So when My Christopher went out to try and move it he noticed the thing wasn’t even in gear.  Obviously at some point it had popped out of gear and rolled down the hill.  Oh yes, the ground was too wet to move it, so tomorrow while he is sleeping I’m going to have one of the teen boys down the road that has a 4 wheel drive come and help me pull the thing back into place.

Oh yes and to top the week off (finally something good) we are getting a new car on Monday.  The jinxed car will be with us no more. . . . .for that I am grateful.
