this has been the worst week ever. i feel like someone has been looking down on us thinking "lets see just how many bad things in 1 week i can make happen to the poor innocent anderson family..."
last monday i was up in the bathroom doing my hair and i heard dusty yell "babe, we got a problem." i ran downstairs and the basement carpet is wet. soaking wet. so we found the water was coming from the back basement door. the sprinkler in the park behind our house has been broken for months. we have reported it several times. did they fix it? no. if it would have been taken care of we would not of flooded. so the next day dusty was downtown to turn in his claim to the city for the damage. what happens now? oh dusty just had corbin in the car and got rear-ended. not only did he get hit with the baby in the car but the stupid lady that hit him drove off!! so what do we have so far... flooded basement and a hit and run. (keep in mind this is in 2 days time). so saturday night i slept in corbin's room because he has not been going to bed until 3 am the past few nights and i wake up to find he had snuck out of bad and gotten a hold of my phone. not only did he take it apart but i guess the battery looked pretty tasty and he chewed up my battery. so now i have no phone. we had to go buy new phones. there were a lot of other random bad things that happened throughout the week but those are the big ones. it has just been BOOM BOOM BOOM, one bad thing after another. we have got to catch a break. soon or i might just go crazy. dusty has been so amazing thru all of this. he has been working his ass off working in the basement and trying to get the disaster cleaned up. i couldn't of done a third of what he has done. i love him so much.
saturday i also went to pride. it was awesome. it was my first time and it was one of the coolest things i have ever been lucky enough to attend. it was so cool to see people being who they are and celebrating equality. human rights. it was awesome. i went with my two great friends andy and danielle. we started the night off at pride everything was so fun and i got a little thristy so i wanted a beer. what happens? oh i just forgot my wallet with my money and my id at home. so i jump in a cab and $30 later an back at pride with a beer in my hand. we headed over to the green pig for drinks and i was home by 9:30. great night. a little bump in the road but nothing compared to what i have been dealing with. it was so nice to get out and be with friends and just escape from all the shit.
tomorrow i will be participating in a flash mob. i know it is not something i would ever ever ever do but its for work and honestly i love amex so much and the people i work with so much i will participate in any fun thing they want me to do no matter how embarassing. thank god for amex. that place has saved me. this week has been so horrible but being able to go to work and not only love what i do but love the people i work with is such a blessing. (the money is great too!) i love it and i feel like i am good at it. not to brag but i was numero uno last week. go me.
so in light of all this crap we are going to blow off some steam in (you guessed it) wendover. we are going on the 17th. we need to. for our sanity. we need to get away and have a kid free night to drink and gamble and have a good time. we have been working so hard and trying so hard to keep our lives somewhat normal during all this choas, we totally deserve it.
again this post will end with how greatful i am. even with all this crap i am still a happy camper. i have the most amazing husband ever. i have a beautiful little TODDLER. i have a job i LOVE. what more could i ask for? yeah i would probably ask for the basement to have never flooded but other than that... i am happy. life is still good. this is just a little bump in the road. nothing i'm going to let break me. no matter how bad it gets i know it could always be worse. life is hard sometimes but i know that we will come out on top and we will figure it out. thats life. so tomorrow is flash mob, then i am just going to wait out the next 10 days and pray nothing bad happens before our little get-away.
