Weekend Review


Well another weekend has come to a close and can you believe it it’s already Tuesday! That means that tomorrow is WHINNY WEDNESDAY! I need it this week! Welllll let me see where to start… First of all let me tell you I only took ONE picture this weekend… why well I just wasn’t the picture taking mood I guess… I don’t know so I know this will be like three weeks soooo maybe I’ll take some tonight and post them tomorrow with my whinny Wednesday post, no promises though.

This weekend was of course very busy but what else did you expect. On Friday night Lehna and I went and crashed at Marcus and Jackie’s place since we were going to be meeting Helen, Tanna, Landyn, and all of those guys on Saturday morning… and Tait went to Speedway to meet his brother at BW3’s for the Indiana University vs. Central Michigan game, and I didn’t want to be by myself I’m social animal you know! So we headed over there and got pizza which was yummy and watched TV. It was a nice Friday night, very relaxing.

On Saturday we meet Helen, Tanna, Landyn, Steve, Shari, Camryn, and Tara at the Holiday Inn Express with Caribbean Cove in Indianapolis. The hotel has an indoor water park complete with indoor water slides and lazy river. When we arrived Lehna was all smiles and was in a good mood. We headed in the pool, which was a good time. Lehna of course had a great time she loves playing in the water. Lehna and I went to the smaller wading pool and played in the water there, but Lehna wasn’t too keen on sitting in the water directly so I kept her on my lap and she wasn’t really into that either so we headed to the Lazy River. So we went around the Lazy River like 5 times, it was very relaxing.
She really enjoyed that she laughed and smiled the whole time and just looked around at all the different sites. After we went around we went over to the bigger pool and I found a nice little edge to sit on and held Lehna in the pool. She had a really good time in the bigger pool, she got to splash (she learned how) and was kicking up a storm it was a good time. We played for probably 3 hours in the pool and then we went to eat at Texas Roadhouse, which was of course tasty, by that time Lehna was so tired she slept almost the whole time at the restaurant and then she woke up when our food arrived which was good b/c it gave me a free hand. After we ate we then went back to the hotel and we kind of relaxed a little bit and feed Lehna. We then had cake at the hotel for Travis Birthday, which was fun and watched him unwrap his gifts, by then Lehna was pretty tucked out but we put her back in her swim suit to see if she wanted to play in the pool again. We took her down to the pool, and this time the water was MUCH colder this time and she shook b/c she was so cold. We got out of the pool and got her changed and she was good. That night she woke up once for a bottle which she barely had an ounce out of before falling back to sleep. And that was good b/c I was pretty tired and that meant I didn’t have to get up! So she slept until about 6 and then she was very much awake and ready to go. Lehna and I went on a walk of the hotel while we waited for the rest of the family to wake up. So after our stroll we went to go eat at Bob Evan’s and then Lehna and I went home on Sunday.

On Sunday I wanted to clean the house so Tait was watching/playing with Lehna and I went into the laundry room to start a load of laundry since I was behind like 7 loads! Well I had to do a load of whites on hot with bleach water thanks to the WONDERFUL cat that decided the white laundry basket was his litter box… Sooooo I started the washer and put the cat box outside to clean and when I came back in I noticed that the floor was wet right by the washer and it was in the bathroom. Well I went in and told Tait and that either the washer or bathroom was leaking water, he went and investigated and sure enough it was the wonderful washer! YEAH! So after he spent about an hour using the wet vac to clean up all the wonderful hot bleach water we decided to head to the laundry mat and after 2-3 hours later all of the washing was done. Needless to say I am not happy about the washer but at least all the washing got done in one swoop. So what to do about the piece of crap washer well the washer was purchased two years ago and already this is the second time we would have to fix it… of course last time we had the warranty to fall back on, not so true now… the warranty is not out soooo what to do. I’m going to call and find out what to do but the problem si when do I have time to stay off work to get the piece of crap thing fixed. I mean I can’t take any more work I mean seriously! So I am going to call and find out if they would even be willing to take a look at the piece of crap and then try to figure out a time in which they can come… man I wish Tait could take off some freaking work! This depending on me crap sucks bad! On top of that Lehna has the appointment with the specialist this week so that leaves tomorrow out… so I don’t know it’s a major problem. Personally I don’t want to sink any money in this piece of crap and put the money towards a new washer I mean if it’s just going to break in another year to six months… seriously! So I don’t know. I know we can’t go without a washer I mean just yesterday Lehna managed to spit up on both Tait and I and of course on herself so it was a problem just trying to wash out her cloths so they wouldn’t mold… grrrrrrrr I mean usually I could just throw the outfit in with whatever load I was going to do… no so true now… so I don’t know I’m sure some kind of plan will fall into our laps but until then it’s the laundry mat we go. YEAH MY FAVORITE PLACE TO BE!

On Monday Tait and I just cleaned the house and talked of plans of what to do about the washer and we have decided calling them first and seeing what happens… But other than the washer incident it was a nice weekend. I hope all of you had a good weekend. Okay well I bet you can’t tell what my whiney Wednesday will be about? Okay well that’s all I got... I hope you all have a great SHORT week! Thanks again for reading about us!
