No More Days like Yesterday

Ok, so yesterday was not one of the good ones. For some reason, it makes me feel better to tell you how not fun it was. First of all, it was Aaron's bday and we wanted to make it special so we made cinnamon rolls for breakfast complete with the candle, birthday song etc. He loved that! The current issue we have been dealing with is our dryer. It is just really old. The knobs quit working and we figured out a way to keep using it for months. Then it started taking about three cycles to dry at times. So we decided that today was the day we would go get another one. I measured on Sunday. Thad measured on Sunday. We took all of the kids to Lowe's and neither one of us seemed to remember the measurements exactly. In most cases, this would be no big deal. In our case, it is a very big deal. We were young when we built this house and didn't know. Our builders didn't think to tell us that our space in our washroom only leaves a little room for a dryer if you want to open the back door. So we can only have a dryer with a small depth ( that doesn't sound like the proper wording). They do not make many dryers that have such. Most of them would not allow us to open our back door. So we go have lunch at Mccalisters and the plan is to come back later with the exact measurements. We get home, do a few errands around the house, measure etc. We decided to leave the kids with Thad's mom while we go to try and find one that will work. Are we frustrated? Just a little;) We go and only the cheap ones have our measurements. I am all for a cheap one. Thad is not. He likes quality. This on top of a very jittery,smothering sales person was not a fun time. But........we find something that will work. Yea!!! Feeling a great sense of accomplishment, we head home. My phone rings and Lauren has fallen down and cut her knee. After looking at it, we all decide she needs stitches. So my mom n law, Brendan, Lauren and I head to the er. Thad took the boys with him. We arrive in the er at 6:05pm. We are not seen until 10:25pm. Oh yes,fun night. So the story will wraps up like this. We have a dryer being put in today. Lauren has two stitches in her left knee and we are praying that today will be a nice, relaxing day.
