Water Water Everywhere

We are back from vacation! It was great. We went up to IL, spent a night at the casino, a night at the country, and a night at home. The casino - on the river; the country - on the lake; and home - near the flooding from the Mississippi - but not too close! We saw lots of water while we were gone. And what do we come home to? Standing water in our bedroom.

Let me explain. We have a vanity that is part of the "bedroom" area; the toilet and shower are separate. So apparently a pipe busted under the sink...and we have no idea when this happened. What I do know is that we were all exhausted. On that Monday morning we had gotten up, gotten packed, and headed to St. Louis. We went to the brewery for a tour, then drove downtown to Hooters for a late lunch. We left from there for the airport. McKenna did not have much opportunity for a nap, so she was not the happiest camper by the time we got to the airport. We did, however, get to upgrade to first class - definitely the way to go! Our flight was good - other than the tired child - and we got in on time. It was almost 9:30 by the time we got home...we didn't bother unpacking. We headed straight to Stan and Sue's, where we resided for the week while our carpet padding was replaced - in the bedroom, the hallway, and the closet! We had to put it all back together on Thursday - our bed was in the living room when we came home that day! We stayed here on Thursday night and headed back to the rents' house for the 4th of July. We had a great time that day, too :).

Now I am anxiously awaiting McKenna to get back into somewhat of a normal schedule...her sleep schedule was all of out whack for almost 2 weeks!

And speaking of McKenna...Micah and I joined the gym a few weeks ago, and they offer childcare there. Well, the first couple of days were great - I got to workout for over an hour each day! But the next two days I was paged to come get her - she was screaming when I walked in! Vacation came along, so we've been out since then. I attempted to go back this morning - after talking to her about where we were going - to no avail. We didn't even make it inside the building before she started crying. I'm not sure what to do about this!!

And...work. I currently work from 6a-6p. That will be changing very soon to 7a-7:30p. YUCK. I am not looking forward to that time change...so I am seeking other types of part-time employment so I don't have to do that for very long. Keep us in your prayers!
