What A Day!

It's been sort of a crummy week - I've been sick, Mansie has a hurt leg, Izzy was throwing up one day, and it's been raining, raining, raining!  Good news is my new deck is done - well almost.  It needs a railing on the steps and a roof.  It is big and nice and I will enjoy it immensely. Poor Nate has worked a lot in the rain, but has done a fantastic job.  I was suppose to go to a wedding open house last night, but didn't make it.  Here is my attempt at humorous reasons why.  All of them are true and were not too funny at the time, though.

Here is my Top 10 List of why I couldn't make it to the open house  :-)

10. I have a bad head cold.

9.  My cold has gone into my lungs.

8.  I have a nasty cough.

7.  I don’t have much of a voice.

6.  I either have a cold in my eye, too, or I have pink eye.

5.  I was helping put the rails on my new deck (yes, in the rain).

4.  I still had “people” at my house.

3.  I didn’t have time to take a shower & get cleaned up.

2.  I hadn’t been to the store yet for a gift.

1.  My granddaughter had just mixed and spilled (?) multiple samples of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, first aid ointment, and aloe (all in a variety of colors – blue was the most noticeable), two new bottles of nail topcoat and polish adhesive (luckily clear – the bottle of pink French manicure polish was open but not yet mixed in), and two containers of jewelry cleaner (one of them with a red tint) on a large area my new bedroom carpet and we were frantically cleaning it up.  She had already been wiping (smearing) it up with a towel.

Good news is that since we had to rent a carpet cleaner, not only the mess got cleaned up, so did all the rest of my carpet!
