Trying Week

It has definitely been a long week. We have been without hot water for a couple of days. It was bound to happen - showers have been getting colder and colder around here! You don't realize how much you use something until its gone. Monte installed a new water heater last night, but when we still had no hot water today we knew something was wrong. We called an electrician to come and look at it. It was installed properly but the heating element was defective. So now we are going to have a bill for labor and a new heating element on a brand new water heater! I did call the place where we got it, though, and they were really nice. It sounds like they will hopefully pay for the electrician. Now we know how people felt in the old days, it's not much fun to heat up bath water on the stove! Also, now hopefully Isabella will have a better rest of the week since I figured out she's just HUNGRY! It's so easy to get wrapped up in all of the minor little things in my own life when something like this happens and really puts things in perspective. My prayers go out to all of the people affected by this tragedy.
