WOW

All I can say is …. WOW, let me see…how do I start off this entry… put your seatbelts on, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!

So…. anywho, I get home last Wednesday after work, with Noah and the Momo-nater in tow and get into the house ready to get ready for the next 4 days of ‘off’ time…. I had to mentally prepare myself to get Mom and the Momo ready for their Garage Sale on Friday and Saturday… Open the door, hit the switch – no lights… damn… power out? nope… I wish… so at the same time that I am figuring out the electricity is not on, my sister and keith AND my friend Alice arrive at the house… the DARK house… I am like, WHAT.. this cannot be happening, I look outside to see the neighbor weedeating, with an ELECTRIC weedeater… NOT a good sign, then… it happens… Momo says, “you did pay your bill right” of course I did…duh..duh ..crap, then I remember, the day I go to pay it they are drilling the drive through road and I would have to get down off of my car to pay, um NO… I have plenty of time since I had just gotten the bill, I was totally not feeling the get off the car thing… So I remembered again later that week… they were still working on the drive thru… SERIOUSLY, I was running late so no time to park and get off and hello, there wasn’t front parking space anyway.. in the back of my mind I knew that they send a notice before cut off and I had plenty of time… which brings us back to last week… After I realized it was only my house without electricity I start whining that I did not get a notice so it can’t be that, well, lo and behold, guess what was in the mail, my cutoff notice with yesterday’s mail… I was HOT, checked for a postage marking to prove this was NOT my fault and they mailed my notice late… no postage marking…NICE… It was at that very moment that I should have known…that this would be a clear indication of how crappy my weekend was going to be.. I should have immediately ran, so…of course Johnny gets home in the middle of all the commotion…. and I give him the look… you know which one I am talking about… the “I double dog dare you to say something to me in front of my sister and your mom”, and being the smart man that he is, he just asks…’what do we do now’, I said, pack clothes for the night and let’s go to momo’s and I will call the city when we get their… AND this was only Wednesday night…it was only the beginning (TO BE CONTINUED)
