Murphy Go Away!!!!

Murphy, that very unwanted 4th cousin twice removed, has decided to move into the our household. Here is a list of the havoc he has created in a week' time with financial, physical and stressful consequences:

1. Very nasty week at work for CJ
2. Sick Madds - a cold, croup, ear, viral thing - Mommy has to miss work during a very crucial meeting
3. Sick Nai Nai - strep with a capital S. - Daddy finds himself doing sick duty
4. ER visit for Nai Nai - as a result of complications from #3
5. Leaking upstairs toilet plumbing
6. A waterfall of poopy water and drywall through the kitchen ceiling
7. An after hours plumber' visit that results in a 1 ft x 2 ft hole in the kitchen ceiling
8. Dealing with Insurance Adjusters - the leaking toilet doesn't qualify, the hole in the ceiling does . . .
9. Breast Pump part #3 doesn't work, resulting in the purchase of Pump #3
10. Sick Mommy - not sure if it is the result of #2 or #3. Mommy is praying it is #2.
11. The other upstairs toilet and the refrigerater hose going at exactly the same moment. Really! Imagine sitting at the kitchen table as water starts shooting every where and then this loud groaing sound from the pipes. Uuggghhhh! Time to call the plumber again and the appliance repair man. Can we survive without an icemaker and toilets until payday??

Nikki, Can I move to Australia with you?

Our first Halloween was a resounding hit! Baby Girl thought it was great fun to watch all of the boys and girls in their Halloween attire. We only went to 2 houses, but she definitely had plenty to watch! We spent the remainder of our evening sitting on the stoop, handing out candy. Baby Girl handed out big eyes and giggles for her treats. Hmmm, I wonder if next year will be as much fun or scary for her?
