If one more damn thing breaks I am going to lose it…
1) My vacuum has given up the ghost. It has burnt up 2 belts in a row and was able to only push the dirt around on the carpet. Luckily, I have a tiny hand held one that I was able to use but took me nearly an hour to vacuum the carpets-grrrrr.
2) The washing machine refuses to spin out. It has ceased spinning out at all. WTF, it is a fairly new washing machine. I want to shoot it with the 12 gauge, that is how po’ed I am about the damn thing.
3) Our central AC was acting up yesterday. We just had it repaired by the bozo from Bartlesville that took a week to get here. Today it seems to be functioning as normal. I hope its okay. That is what hubs gets for hiring some nobody from out of town-grrrrrrrrrr
Needless to say, I needed all 3 of these things working today because the boys and I have been swimming in our new pool all week and Ive neglected my housework.
On a good note, Son #1 did clean his room very well. I only had to ask him once!

Its just stuff. But it sure is a hassle when it impedes your down time! Mine isn’t even old enough to clean his room yet… but he isn’t really good at picking up now, so… I wish i had a pool! what a great summer!
its so gorgeous here today in SB, 70, not a cloud in the sky. I am so wishing i was at the beach instead of at this machine.
have a good weekend dear woman!

You mentioned not knowing we had wineries.. We have several!! Check this out: http://www.oklahomawines.org/index.html
We’ve had wine from a couple of the wineries, but I can’t remember the one other than the one we just went to..

the Vacuum given up the ‘ghost’
the washing machine refuses to ’spin’
the air conditioning unit is ‘acting-up’
The Universe is chaotic at times

we have to make do with some of the set backs too
