I know that they say that you are only given what you can handle, but a little tiny break in the chaos that is my life would really be appreciated. It has been one thing after another since the end of March break when the pox broke out in our house. It's been big things too. But I should have foreseen something else happening. I had to go and open my big mouth when I had Ella at the pediatrician's yesterday. The receptionist and I were chatting, saying how a little break without anything happening would be really nice. BIG MISTAKE!

The kids were all in bed and asleep (which is a miracle in itself these days), and I was sitting on the couch stitching (you read right GS - I actually sat down and stitched, I even finished that section that was giving me trouble - so it should be clear sailing now), and Kev went up for a shower. A few minutes later I heard a very strange noise in the kitchen. When I went to investigate there was water dripping - well more like pouring, out of a pot light in the kitchen. After further investigation which involved the ripping of bathroom walls, it looks like we have quite a problem on our hands. Kevin is optimistic that he can repair it without gutting the whole bathroom, but being a rather old house I'm not quite so sure. BOOGA certainly springs to mind!!!!

On a happier note, the girls had their gymnastics recital on Sunday, and it went really well. I don't really have pictures to post though. The camera is about to give up the ghost I think, so I'm waiting for a certain someone to send me hers so that I can put them up.

Ella had a good appointment with the pediatrician. Nothing even to report - all is well and we go back in 3 months. We did see the allergist, but I'll make that a separate post when I get a minute as it is a long explanation.
