AC

So I was at a meeting Tuesday night and Ryan texted that the AC was out. We have a friend in the biz so we called and determined it was the compressor. So then it was a matter of going through the home warranty company. Which is always a pain. And slow.

Tuesday night was not all that bad. We had ceiling fans

Wednesday we just did normal errands: Gym, library, swimming, friend's house

Even Thursday wasn't too bad: children's museum with a friend, a playdate, dinner out....and then, oh then, my poor sweet tolerant babies who had every single nap in their carseats for 2 days...fell apart! They screamed and screamed. So...we came home. And put them to bed. And it was hot. And we were all tired. 

But...at least the warranty company approved this little baby that we rigged in our kitchen. It made a 3 foot square of cold air. So Friday it was tolerable.

We stayed home and did laundry. And then went to the school and got haircuts. Then...it was hot. But there was relief--the air was going to be fixed Saturday morning! Until...they called and said they got the wrong part and it would be Monday. Cue the crying family. Cue the hero father who called and (politely) yelled and threatened. Cue us escaping to the ward activity in the mountains. And cue the cowering ac guys coming to fix it after all. Relief!

Even though I had a few moments of panic and meltdowns during this process, it really wasn't horrible and I'm grateful for the many many many offers of help we received. I am grateful for family and friends who offered houses and food and fans.
