Two weeks ago, Amy was out of town at a trade show so I was solo parenting. Solid, but tiring work, and then William got a 48-hour bug and made it suck terribly b/c he had to miss 2 days of daycare and I had to stay home.

Last week, William woke up Tuesday with an ugly bite/infection looking thing on his hip. Turned out it was a staph infection (that caused an abscess underneath the infected area) and was causing him a decent amount of pain/discomfort. He ended up being home for 4 days last week, 2 of which required doctor's visits and me being home from work. Thankfully, Amy's mom came up Thursday & Friday so I could get back to work.

Sunday, we had a tornado warning and some rotating clouds that briefly touched down 15 blocks from my house. Rather scary, but luckily there wasn't any damage other than from the rain/hail/higher than normal, but not tornado winds. Unfortunately, during this storm, our ceiling began to leak in our living room. Nothing major (just a slow drip & the roof is on;y 6-7 years old) but still sucky. Turns out there are some pipes (venting for the septic system) on the roof have some rotted out seals that need to be replaced, thus causing water to get in. $500 fix.

Yesterday, our garbage disposal was leaking like crazy. After some investigation and internet-info-gathering, we have to get a new one. Luckily, these aren't too expensive and as long as a get a similar model, I should be able to do it myself.

Also, work has been shitty & crazy busy.

I say all of that stuff because I cannot wait for noon today. My parents will be here around 2pm and will be leaving on Monday at 5pm. I will not be working during their visit and am extremely excited about a very long weekend.
