This weeks has been a hectic one and its only Wendsday.

Well where do I begin.  This week has already been an adventure.  First off, I smell gas in the basement.  Been smelling it for a long time.  Brad said I was crazy it was just musty.  Anyways, I call the gas company on Sunday and they sent someone out.  He was rude but helpful.  There was gas leaking from the hotwater heater. I knew I was not going crazy!!!  So guess what now I have to deal with the landlord and tell her.  She is russian and does not understand English very well.  She get her maintence man to come out and tell me that he will replace it Monday.  So here I am with no hot water and some stinky kids that need a bath before school on Monday.  So its off to TIppys house.  Baths done and home to watch the Grammys.  Monday morning arrives and I have to take my brother to a job interview at Walmart.  He then has to go do a drug test.  So it drive here and wait.  Drive here and wait.  After what seem like forever.  I finally get to Tippys house to take a shower myself.  It felt so good to take a hot shower.  Me and my brother head back home and put Tanner down for a nap.  I have now very little time to get the kids from school.  We get home and start to work on Tyler project.  A book report on a person he had to read.  He choose John Lennon.  So he I am printing pictures, glues them on and writing the summary.  Don't know why the teachers sends these assignments home.  Its not like they understand what to do.  The parents end up doing it all anyways.  Oh well it was fun and I learned a lot.  Hot water heater is now fixed and we are all enjoying having hot water back.  My brother is taking a class to get his GED.  So I have to get him there at night from 6-9. I really proud of him for trying to better his life. Today Brad went to pick up Stephanie to help her get some stuff done.  Tomorrow I have to start Tanner birthday cake.  I have nothing that I need to get it done.  I have to wait til Brad gets paid to buy the stuff.  Me and Stephanie will be making the cake.  Tanner wants a Super Mario birthday cake.   Of course you can not just go order one from Walmart so we are making it from scratch. Decorating it will be the hard part.  Wish me luck!!!!  We are having a party for Tanner on Saturday.  He has a few friends coming over to celebrate the big 4.  He is so excited.  He said all he wanted for his birthday was a cake and his friends.  We are also about to get another snow storm dumped on us.  I am about tired of the snow and cold.  This winter has really been a cold one.  So much snow and the temps have sucked.  Well I better go. I need to clean some carpets before I pick Tay and Ty.  I will post picture of my cake later and as well as Tanner birthday.  Till next time.
