I need a BREAK not a BREAK
It started Sunday night when Michael pointed out that the AC wasn’t blowing very cold. We’ve spent all week with the upstairs air off during the day and fans blowing full blast at night. The repair man, that I just called yesterday, says he might make it out to see us Saturday. Thankfully, it’s not terribly hot.
Tuesday morning I went to use the hot water dispenser and the water was COLD. At least it’s not winter.
Thursday while I was attempting to mix up some frosting for Thomas’ birthday cake, one of the beaters quit turning. “No problem,” I thought. “I’ll just use one beater.” That lasted for all of 30 seconds before that one went out. It’s a good thing there’s a Walmart nearby.
Then today as I was mopping up the floor in preparation for Thomas’ party tomorrow, the mop broke. It went in stages. First the mechanism that squeezes out the water messed up. The rod broke right off. Not a huge deal. I just squeezed out the hot dirty water by hand. (Yuck and ouch.) Then the end came loose. So I mopped the best I could with a floppy headed mop until it completely gave up. No one is allowed to make a mess!
I hope the house is still standing when Michael gets home. And when he does, I’m running away! (By myself!)

I was thinking that you need a big powerful mixer somewhat like the one I have to make your frosting anyway. Those little hand held ones are too weak. Troubles seem to come in 3s so you have yours for a while.

Good point. I bought another cheapie hand mixer because I just didn’t have the time to shop for a good one. Mother’s day is coming up though. (Hint, hint father of my offspring.)
