Just Another Manic Monday...

Or soemtimes you just have to laugh.

Here is how Monday went...daughter woke up with blood in underwear, but being almost three we ruled out her turning into a woman. The doctor wanted to see her at 7 PM to check for possible urinary tract infection. Then the boys had an end of year program for one of their extracurricular programs, so they didn’t get home until almost 6. It was cold, so we went to turn on the heat. I went downstairs, and smelled smoke, so we called the fire department who told us to go outside and wait until they got there. Still no dinner. Then we realized we had to take 8 y-o-son for 7 PM Piano lesson, so Mrs Air Time, daughter and son need to leave by 6:45 to get son to piano and daughter to doctor. The police came, checked out the furnace, where the smoke was coming from, and told us it was safe to come in, and don’t turn on the heat until it is fixed. Then they pointed out several fire hazards in our basement (now cleared away – we are safe again). The kids can come back in the house, but we have fallen behind in grocery shopping, so there was nothing but waffles in the freezer, which we tossed in the toaster for the kids. Off to piano and the doctor for those three; me and 5-y-o-son play video games waiting for 'dre to call me back. Now I have to pick up 7-y-o. from piano, taking 5-y-o with me even though it is now past his bedtime. Get home. Kids are freezing and wearing extra heavy PJs. Daughter gets home. She is fine. Blood in underwear is mystery, but fortunately does not need to be dropped off at rabbis house in a brown paper bag. House is getting colder, Pistons are on TV, 'Dre is still not calling back. Pistons win. We consider trying turning on the furnace but decide we would rather not wake up in the middle of the night looking and feeling like charcoal. Furnace guy comes and charges $$$$ to fix furnace, while telling us that he has four other furnaces to fix today and it is already mid-May.
