Week In Review


It has been an interesting week around our house. I worked a lot of shifts this past week, so I had work drama and home drama going on at the same time. On Thursday evening we were given Caden his bath just like normal until we couldn't get the cold water to shut off in the bathtub. Turned out that the cold water faucet was stripped and old, so Harold Ray had to turn off the water to the whole house. It was too late to get any parts so we spent the rest of the evening with no water. I, of course, had to work the next day so he was left at home to fix the tub. Turned out to be a bigger project than expected. Finally after about 12 hours of repair work the tub was fixed! We now have a whole new faucet system on our bathtub. It looks nice, but not quite the way I wanted to get it. Oh well, at least we get the money back for the repairs on our rent.
It was an exciting weekend at work. We had a lot of VERY sick patients along with the coughs, colds and broken bones. I had my first opportunity to take care of a patient having an acute heart attack by myself. SCARY!! I'm not sure that I'm ready to do it again for awhile, but it was a good learning experience.
Sunday was a beautiful day here in southeastern Kentucky. It was 65 degrees outside!!!! We went out to dinner and went bowling with our good friend Stevie Douglas. We had a really good time. I haven't been bowling since my bachelorette party and trust me, I'm no better at it now than I was then.
Caden has learned a new trick. He can now rollover from his tummy to his back. He did it twice today. I'm going to try to get it on video and then I will post it here. He is becoming more and more active everyday and definitely has his own personality. We get to pick up his 3-month pictures tomorrow and I can't wait to see them.
We have decided that each month we are going to pick a room of our house and spruce it up a little and add decorations. This month we are working on our front entry way. We are putting curtains up over our big glass front doors. They let in a lot of cold air, so it will help block that. Plus anyway who drives by can look right in our doors. I'm not a big fan of that. Becky helped me pick them out and they are very pretty. I will post a picture later on after Harold Ray hangs them up.
All in all, an exciting week....more than we bargained for.

  2. Oh my goodness, I can't believe he's already rolling over from his back to stomach! I'm gonna have to start visiting more often or he'll be walking by time I see him again!
    Good luck with decorating the house, I'm sure it'll look great!
