I don't have a title for this.

It's been a bit of a crazy day. This morning I found the hot water heater with steam coming out of the top as well as water. That resulted in a brand new oil fired hot water heater---they are way more expensive than electric ones...but thankfully we were able to get it installed today.

Ugh. We are having our bathroom completely remodeled starting next week or the week after. EVERYTHING is going to be torn out and replaced. It needs it!! The thing is falling apart and always smells funky (I put in a lavender airfreshner but it smells like Carmex). I am VERY excited for this!!! It is going to be beautiful and CLEAN!! And the tub will NOT be textured so I won't have to scrub it with all my might with a green scrubbie before Maddox's baths. YAY!

Craig and I were talking tonight and thought we may have to scale down the bathroom because of all these appliance repairs. Craig thought we may just use a galvanized tub for a bathtub. It will all work out.

Maddox has been staying up until around 10:00pm every night for about a week and Craig hasn't been getting home until 7:30-8:30 at night. Many nights I feel like I am losing my mind. I have been staying up until midnight, because it is the only time I have the house to myself. Craig is usually up until 11:00-11:30 and I do love his company, and I need some quiet, alone time to myself as well.

Ihave no idea why Maddox is doing this again. He has also had several nights when he has gotten up a few times. I am just resigning myself to the fact that I will not be getting any good consistent sleep until he is at least 4 years old.

The boy is hilarious though. And he has this great laugh he does when he thinks he is funny. (thought I just heard something in the heating vent. It better not be a mouse) And Mason has been so extremely sweet lately. He thinks everything is hilarious and just laughs hysterically at just about anything. We have been having a great time lately. I do love hanging out at home with these 2.

That doesn't mean I don't also have those moments/days when I am really, really, really crabby and impatient. I've been praying a lot about that, and it seems that I tend to get crabbiest when I feel the kids are "getting in the way" of something I am trying to accomplish. And I feel just awful even typing this down, but it's true. It's mainly a selfish and prideful thing that gets me so crabby. Not that I don't need time to recoup during the day or anything.

Well, I don't think this is making much sense. I think I should get to bed.

Oh yeah, Independent Lens in on PBS right now, and I am pretty sure they are hanging out with some Taliban and seeing how they set up to blow up American tanks. Yes, that is what is going on. Time to turn that off. Not sure how I feel about that....
