What a week!

Well we are having quite the week!  First, our hot water heater went out on Sunday, and it is still out.  It may be Friday before it is fixed.  Then today,  we helped out the Salvation Army More Than Bread (soup kitchen). 

After Dennis dropped us off at the house, he went back to work.  Well he ended up having a flat tire.  So he called AAA, and made sure to tell them the person coming out would need to bring the tool to let the spare tire down (for some unknown reason, ours did not come with one).    Unfortunately the repair person did not get those instructions.    So he came without that tool.  

This meant our truck was going to have to be towed to a repair shop for them to change the tire.  Well in the meantime, a friend of the repairmen called to say he could bring them the part.  So he arrived, and they began taking the tire off.  Unfortunately the repairman's wrench broke which stopped the job.  So back to the necessity of taking the truck to a repair shop.  So they got there, but the repairman (someone we are becoming really, really, really familiar with - seeing how he just replaced the radiator and transmission in our 12 passenger van and is going to be repairing the brakes on our minivan) did not have the time to fix the tire.  

This is when a silver lining comes into play - our minivan was still there since he had just looked at it to find out what was wrong with the brakes.  So Dennis was able to drive that home.  The truck should be ready tomorrow.  

I have to say life is never dull in a house with 7 people, a military member, four children and three vehicles.  It is quite adventurous.
