Weekend from the twilight zone

Tweet

Well I have had a heck of a weekend and a crazy start to my week. We went around this yard tearing out everything to start over as the last owners didn't do anything around here for the 10 years they owned. It was a very busy weekend then on Sunday the real fun started. Sunday evening my husband went out to go up to the store for a few things when he started my van the battery blew up. No major damage we needed a few new cables, and of course a new battery so he called in to work and took the day off, he car is broken down and needs new wheel bearings. My dad came in and helped to fix it, Chevy likes to hide things under their hoods, the battery in my van sits under the man fuse box and a hoard of wires, the side support for the engine compartment and the shroud for that side of the compartment. It took the 2 of them 2 hours to do the work. While this was going on I was taking care of some business for my husbands company and that went well but I found out that once again the BC health care system lost us in their paperwork and we aren't in their system yet for medication coverage, it has been a year of this with them I have sent the papers in 4 times and have copies of the receipts from Canada post to prove I have sent it to them. This morning I finally got on health cares system. This afternoon I set up a few appointments for my grandmother with health care non of which my dad can make so I have to take care of that for him. While I was setting appointments up I lit a fire in the wood stove about 5 minutes later a neighbor showed up at the door, my chimney was on fire. As the fire wasn't bad I got the kids out with her, called the fire department while I was on the phone with them I got the dogs out, which was a little work as the old girl refused to get out, found the cat box and put the 3 boys in it and got them out then I grabbed my girl cat and took her out in my arms. When the fire truck arrived the air brakes of course made noise which panicked the girl and I lost several layers of skin to her. The fire was out in no time and there was no damage to the house, my floors got real dirty but that was it. The kids where upset but they seem fine now. I need to bring in a chimney cleaner again, I just had them here 4 months ago, to inspect and clean the chimney, and wood stove. I am almost afraid of what else this week holds for me. I have a big business deal to close this week and I am almost wanting to cancel the appointment and reschedule it for a later date. Life is a wonderful thing so full of crazy turns but I just don't want crazy I want normal quiet uneventful just for a little while so I can catch up.
