4th of July Weekend- Chapter 2

Subtitle: The day where Mommy screamed bloody FREEZING murder while she attempted to bathe.

... we discovered that our hot water heater that just went out and we replaced a new heating element on this day decided to just stop producing hot water. We were filthy, like dirt clods hanging from our hair filthy there was no way around a bath/shower for all of us. I tortured the kids, let Brent shower and then asked for some time alone. I really dislike cold water. Like, I do not get in the pool in the summer kind of dislike, and I had to take a full on get soaked kind of shower. I opted out and did it in stages. I won't go into details in case we are in mixed company (he he) but during the rinse portion I screamed... LOUD because I did not know how else I would get through it. Brent says there are cold showers in Nicaragua. I am thinking I might wait until they find water heaters down there before I visit.

Brent made a phone call to a plumber friend, and we flicked the frozen snot off of Eliza's face and headed down the street for fun.

you should have came over to our house to shower...I am sure we weren't here and you could have had a nice shower. Our microwave has been out, and don't think we are not coming to your house if we need something heated :)
