Whew on Sunday we were all just chillin and having fun when all of a sudden power turned off and our house became a sauna within an hour. We took a trip to Super Ronny to stock up on some groceries and hoped that the power returned when we got home…but no. So we took an extra drive to just enjoy our A/C in the car and kill some time until the power returned after that…but no. Sooo, we walked in the 1000 degree heat b/c it was cooler than our sweat lodge and found a nice cozy fire- exactly what we need (no, all sorts of no).

Finally when it was close to sunset we decided to cross our fingers and walk home. As we were coming up the driveway the outdoor fans and turned on and we were all so thankful! Man that would’ve been a long night.

The other day our alternator cracked so Will had to go to Cobano to get it fixed. Since this is CR that usually means a whole day ordeal and this day didn’t disappoint. He left at 7:00am and didn’t get home until 4:30pm.

I was home with the kids and no car and completely won at life! I made chocolate chip pancakes in the morning, vegan banana swirl cinnamon bread, got all the school work done with the girls, played a game of Sorry with no tears from anyone, set them up for their Outschool class on time, managed to keep the house clean and dishes washed, and juggled a newborn the entire time.

After lunch i looked at Sophie and said “Wow i am winning at life today” and as the statement flew out of my mouth so did a large stream of milk straight out of both boobs and on to the floor. Sophie and I were cracking up. She said it was like out of a sitcom.

I guess i should rename this post to “The day I almost won at life”. I’ll take it, esp after yesterday when Roo decided 4am was a good wake up time and the world was too exciting to sleep, paired with Sabi who popped up from a bad dream at 5:00am and decided the world was too scary to go back to sleep. Add in 3 poo explosions (before 7:30am) in 3 separate places and there goes any type of winning. Oh except I did miraculously catch a pee party and manage to lift Roo mid air with a changing pad before our bed was soaked. So there’s that.
