Our upsetting news

Friday morning started off crazy all together. We had the guy coming to check out the Air conditioner to see what was wrong with it at 7AM!! That is way early for me getting off at midnight. Not so much for Steven since he is used to working a normal schedule. So the guy comes and the gods get left in the bedroom with me. This was a horrible idea because all they do is bark and jump on and off the bed, This makes it difficult who wants to get another hour sleep. So, figuring I am already stirring from telling the dogs to be quiet, I crawl my exhausted butt out of bed. It was actually not too bad.. I made pancakes around 8 ish or so. They were Yummy.

The heating guys said the worst thing that could happen, happen !! The compressor is bad, He gave our landlord an estimate of 1,800 over the phone. However replacing the whole unit would be the most cost effective thing to do. So, they decided to do that. All said and done.. they ended up with a 6,000 total. This all could not have happen at a worse time. It broke the week we are to be getting all this 107* temps. Yikes. We have every ceiling fan and house fan we have going and it is still pretty much horrible. And to think I get so hot and irritated getting ready for work.. I can see this is going to me a mess during the week!

We all decide to take a cat nap , since we were all up pretty much at 7 or shortly after.... steven wakes up from his nap about 10 min before me or so... What was turning out to be a pretty laid back day ... turned into getting a call no children want to ever get. Steven's phone rang and it was his mom.... Giving news that Steven's dad tested positive for Cancer. Needless to say it was a very emotional morning. We all took showers and got cleaned up to head over and visit with them. Surprisingly he was doing wonderful. He said he kinda had a feeling, but was not sure.

After talking we found out that the cancer has not spread from what we know. It was caught early. There are different treatments that can be done, It is pretty much choosing the right one for him. They will be reading some books on this and deciding what the best choice might be. We are very hopeful!! Steven's dad being in good health with eating good and exercising I think is in his favor. We pray for a positing out come!
