Crazy Times

Why does it always seem like everything that could go wrong happens at the same time? Lately I have thought of the song "Crazy Times' by Jars of Clay because that is how it feels in the Hoyt household. It all started a couple of weeks ago with a small leak under our kitchen sink. That leak revealed a much bigger problem...mold! It's a long story but we are in the middle of a kitchen remodel. Praise the Lord, our home builder, David Weekly is coming to our rescue to repair the insulation, sheet rock and kitchen cabinets. They are also reimbursing us for what we had to pay for the plumbing to be fixed. it will probably take 3 weeks for our kitchen to look and function as it should.

We were able to get away to Beaver's Bend, OK with our good friends The Tomblin's. We had a nice and relaxing time. While we were there Jason's truck got a flat tire....he later found out that it could not be repaired. So, he had to buy a new tire!

Now that we have returned home we are trying to figure out ways to save money. The first thing that we have decided to do is look at bundling our phone/TV/DSL bills. We are going to be able to save in the long run by changing over to a new provider. But now that we have changed we learned that one of our telephones does not work...so we had to buy a new phone.

Miss. Addison had her 2 month doctor visit this past Tuesday. She did much better than I expected. Poor thing she got 4 shots!!! Needless to say she and I both had a tough day. This was one of those times that I think watching her get her shots hurt me more that it hurt her. Thankfully she will not remember getting them. I cannot believe that our little girl now weights 11 lbs. and 12 oz.

Then this morning as Jason was backing out of the garage a terrible screeching sound came from the garage door. It appears that a coil may have broken in our garage door. Jason was able to back his car out of the garage, but he had a neighbor help him to fix the very crooked door closed. It is a good thing that I don't have to go anywhere today because my car is trapped inside!

Here are some pictures of our crazy kitchen. What a mess!
