Father’s Day and Cold Showers.

Conner made the quintessential Father’s Day heart-attack breakfast: lots of bacon and sausage; dunkin’ donuts; and farm-fresh eggs thrown in just to make us feel righteous. Although they’re the best part, in my opinion. Along with the coffee, of course.

Conner didn’t actually make the donuts.

Olivia, of course, made her dad a card. And Peter started daddy’s day out with much wailing and gnashing of teeth that even John couldn’t ignore behind closed bedroom doors and previously closed eyelids. Oh, the injustice! Though for the life of me I can’t recall Peter’s claim to it at the moment. Something he wanted but didn’t get. Obviously, he got over it.

Happy Father’s Day!

We got a last-minute request for a house showing and scrambled (no pun intended) to get ready for it, the little ones already having a t-ball game scheduled during that time. Being completely sweat-drenched and feeling oh not-so-fresh from working in the yard, I decided, showing or no, I had to take a shower. So I did. And the water was cold. Very, very cold.

Our water heater is 15 years old. What are the chances that it’ll last us just a few more months until we get this house sold?

That’s what I thought.

Happy Father’s Day!

We’ll hopefully be finding out tomorrow morning! (Or is it this morning by the time I’m writing this?)

We’re not having much luck on showings lately, although I suppose we’re doing well just to have showings… It’s just that, when you get an offer so quickly like we did, it makes all this waiting around after it falls through kind of harder!
