Easy day... or is that lazy?

So far, I'm having an easy day.  I don't want to say 'lazy' because even with not doing much physically, I've done a lot.  I called about our stupid washer.  AGAIN.  The lady gave me a hard time.  Twice.  And I finally lost my temper.  I feel bad about it and I shouldn't have, but man am I aggravated.  She tried to say that because I didn't call them IMMEDIATELY that the problem is mine.  I was like, no, your technicians put the darn machine back together wrong!  It is called a slow leak for a reason -- it's small and slow and took a couple of months to build up to where I saw it.  You see, I try to do a bit of laundry almost daily.  I do miss days, but with the dogs, a cat, a hubby that has a dirty job, remodeling, and two kids.  SOMETHING always needs to be washed.  Pillows, blankets, clothes, towels, cleaning rags, SOMETHING!  I HATE when it piles up and takes an entire day.  So, to combat that, I try to throw in a small load every day or so just to keep it down and manageable.  As a result, I never noticed a small leak since the washer is in the corner of my garage, between my water heater and dryer.  The only reason I noticed it when I did is because I had a day where I did about 3 or 4 loads to get ready for Easter Weekend and it seeped around the corner.  I had dropped a piece of trash and when I went to pick it up, I saw it peeking out.  I had the hubby look, but he couldn't figure out where it was coming from so I went ahead and started the machine.  While he was looking at our lines, he said some water started coming out from underneath the machine.  So, I called on Thursday (the Thursday before Good Friday) and she had left the office at 4PM.  Not that I expected them to fix it, but I at least wanted it reported.  I left a message and she never called back.  I waited until today thinking ok, maybe the Service Manager went out of town.  And now she says we have to go through the whole warranty process again.  I am NOT a happy camper.  I was so mad, I thought my head was going to explode.  She KNOWS how many issues we had just getting an answer from the warranty company last time.  And all I wanted was for them to come and look at it to see if they didn't put it together right and she was giving me a major headache.  So yeah, I lost my cool.  I don't normally do that, but I think I am overly tired.  Which is my own fault.  My back was killing me last night so I was up too late and so was the hubbs trying to get the knots out so I could go to sleep.  Then the baby was up at 6:30.  UGH.  I think I've had 4hrs. of sleep and then a couple of hours broken sleep on the couch while he played in the floor.  I just couldn't stay awake and kept drifting off and then jerking awake.  LOL  So, I was a bit more easy to anger than normal.  Not to mention the whole situation is just irritating.

On a good note, we are hoping to take a vacay to Disney.  It's been a back-burner thing since we were unsure, but the date is quickly coming up so we need to make some decisions.  I called about that today, too and found out that the old tickets we purchased back in 2000 are still good and have at least one day left cause they are active!  Woot!  We are only wanting to go for one or two days since we were thinking that anything more than that would be exhausting for us with our youngest still being well, so young!  It's looking more and more like we'll go.  It's a good drive from here, so we've decided to fly instead.  And with gas so high, it would actually be cheaper for all of us to fly!  I am hoping to get away with only taking 3 bags plus our carseats.  And I hope there is no charge for that.  If so, may have to check into renting one while we are down there and see which is cheaper.  Not sure what we will do about a stroller.  I may buy one when we get there and then mail it back.  Will just have to wait and see.  I plan on calling tomorrow just to make sure I know what to expect when I get there.

OH.  I forgot!  I still haven't had any salad and I still haven't had issues.  And neither has the hubby.  We decided to throw that half bag of salad away and we bought a fresh head.  I plan on having a salad tomorrow to see how it goes.  I probably should've had a low carb meal tonight, but since I only did a short higher carb cycle, I instead had a cheeseburger and fries.  I couldn't tell you the last time I ate one of those!  It was good and I enjoyed it.  :)  But tomorrow, it's back to the lowness.  I hope I don't pay heavily for that cheeseburger!  LOL  I also hope that salad doesn't bite me in the butt.  I am worried about it.  Part of me says that the issue has got to be the cleanliness or even the stuff they put on it to look pretty, but part of me is still afraid.  It really is uncomfortable.  But I will never know unless I try it.

Well, it is now late and once again, it has taken me ALL day of reading and writing off and on to get here.  I'm trying really hard to keep up with everyone, but I feel like I may have to cut back on the number of blogs I read and comment on.  I want to be a support, but I just don't think I can keep up!  That's why I updated my blogroll.  I want to comment and support the ones that I know want it and comment on mine!  I know I may not always have wonderful things to say, but I still want to try to be there like you all are for me.  It's wonderful having this place to come to.  I knew I always liked blogging, but this feels like second nature to me now to come here.  Does anyone else feel like this has somehow become some major part of your journey?  I guess I just never thought that writing and blogging would be so important.  Heh.  I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks sometimes.

I guess I will end this entry for now.  I am so tired I can't think of everything I had wanted to cover!  AGAIN!  But I think I got the highlights.  On to tomorrow and hopefully I'm not nuts from carb deprivation after my oh so bad dinner!  LOL  G'night chicks!
