Just our luck

Last Thursday, we had a storm come through GH and we experienced a "brown-out." Afterwards, we discovered the computer I had left on didn't work anymore. So, we had to send it to the repair shop and we just got it back today.

Last weekend we took Turner to New Orleans to visit Aunt Lynn. We discovered firsthand what happens when you do too much in one day with a toddler. Children who are over-stimulated, tired, hungry, and completely out of routine have meltdowns. In restaurants. After they've had explosive poopy diapers that leak out where you are sitting in front of other customers. And of course, these bathrooms in restaurants in Mid City don't have changing stations when you have to strip down said toddler with explosive poop!

But wait, it gets better....

So, we come home on Monday to get a call from Dr. G saying that my papsmear a few weeks ago came back abnormal. So, now I'm scheduled for a biopsy next Wed (the 28th) at 11 am in Mobile. Pray that things are going to be OK for me!!!

There's more......

So, then we head to ATL to deliver some photography equipment to a friend of Arthur's. Without thinking, we fed Turner red beans and rice w/sausage Tuesday night for dinner. About 10 mins away from Wesley and Margaret's house, Turner has yet another explosive diaper. And about 10 more in 4 hours time. When we got to our friends' house, we find out their air conditioner froze up that day. We go out for dinner to at least get an hour's worth of cool air, only to have the power go out there and to sit in heat and dark for our meal, with limited choices of what to order. Of course, I didn't sleep much last night, so I'm heading to bed now, but I just thought I would share the adventures of the last week.

HOLD ON....would you believe that just as I finish this, Arthur discovers that our boon frog pod in the bathroom (it holds all of Turner's bath toys) has fallen. It has these special water proof adhesive strips that stick to the tile in the tub and they are no longer sticking. I'm really going to bed now and just praying that things start looking up!!!!!

Needless to say, pics from NOLA will not be up anytime soon. Maybe before school starts back I'll get to them......
