A Shot in the Dark

Raise your hand with me if you have had a hectic, crazy weekend, where more has gone wrong than right.  I blame it on the Supermoon.  Every month during the full moon, my household goes off balance, especially my 3-yr-old.  This full moon wasn’t much different.  I will say that he acted better than I anticipated, but when he had a moment, HE HAD A MOMENT!  Not to mention sleep patterns being interrupted and eating habits being off – it was a wild time.  Oh and on top of all this, the specific noodles he only eats were out of stock at our local Walmarts.  Nothing sets a toddler off more than when they don't have their favorite foods.  Waffles proved to be a viable solution, for now.  I ordered the noodles off Walmart's website for site-to-store; they'll be here Wednesday. 

On top of this, the electricity to a large portion of our house went out Saturday afternoon.  My husband went down to check the breakers and all seemed fine, but still no power.  Since we rent, we gave the landlord a call, only to find out they were in Ohio and wouldn’t be back until very late and would come by in the morning.  We went back and forth as to whether Hayden and I should stay and opted to stay since it affected the kitchen mostly and we still had power and heat to both bedroom and the living room. 

I posted about our dilemma briefly on my Facebook page and a friend reached out to me about a similar situation that happened to her.  Her house caught on fire, but luckily, they were there and got it taken care of.  Needless to say, I slept restlessly that night and on the couch close to Hayden’s room in case of a fire.  Of course, adding to this situation is the fact that my cell phone isn’t working and can only reach people through Facebook and email.  My husband was at work, so throughout the night he would email me to make sure we were ok.  I had to promise my mother to Facebook message her as soon as I woke up, so she knew we were ok.  The biggest kicker is that after all this, it was just a breaker that had tripped, but was easily detectable.  All that worry for not.  The weekend proved to be less restful for me and by Hayden’s bedtime, I was exhausted too!

I hope this Monday finds you in good spirits! I realize it’s a Monday and all, but I’ve been trying to find some good in everything. 

I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things after the last few days, so while tonight’s post is short, tomorrow’s will be better.  We’re doing apple painting with Hayden tomorrow, as part of our letter of the week activity. 

Again, a very happy Monday to you! Here’s to a wonderful week!
