Last week was a bit crazy. It rained all week and we finally have some sunshine today!
Shawn had four of his six (yes SIX) wisdom teeth removed on Thursday. He was given anesthesia to put him out for the surgery and it took longer than anticipated. Originally the surgeon said it would take 45 minutes but an hour and 45 minutes later the nurse came out and said he was finished. I guess one of the teeth was surrounded by nerves and another was side ways and had to be removed in pieces. He also had a large cyst surrounding another one and that had to be removed and sent out to pathology. We'll get the results later this week. The surgeon said the two wisdom teeth he didn't remove were too close to the sinus cavity and hopefull now that the others have been removed, these two will move down. Shawn hasn't been able to eat much - just black and white malts, Lipton Extra Noodle Soup, jello, pudding, etc. Thank goodness for pain medication!
The rest of the day was a blurr - picking up meds, shopping for soft foods, laundry, catching up on some stuff for work and a conference call for work. Before I knew it, it was 10pm and I was exhausted. Friday morning I was up at 6AM, fed the cat and went to take a shower but didn't have any hot water. I woke up Tom to let him know. Tom opened the door to the basement to find 2' of water and everything floating!! It seems we lost power during the night and the sump pump didn't turn back on when the power came back! The water rose above the foot high platforms the water heater and furnace are on. Luckily, they shut off automatically!
Needless to say, there was no way that I could go to work. We had to get the basement pumped out and find out the damage to the furnace and water heater. Our basement is 28' x 72' and it took all day to pump out. Tom was able to get the water heater started and the water level was just below the furnace pump so we didn't lose either of them - thank goodness!
We purchased a dehumidifier to dry out the basement and today we will spend the day getting rid of what was down there. It looks like we lost one window air conditioner, a wet vac and older upright vac too. We store the summer patio furniture, wood for the fireplace and Tom has some tools in his workshop area. The patio furniture is fine and the tools were on shelves so they should be okay.
We are lucky the we never needed the basement for storage. Actually, when Shawn was little he and his friends used to roller blade down there when the weather was bad. A few months ago, Tom was trying to convince me to put all of the exercise equipment down there but I said if it was in the basement I wouldn't use it. I'm glad I said no because the treadmill would've been ruined!
I don't know if I'll be in chat tonight but have a good day everyone!
Great movie, and you have to stay to watch the credits, because I think it was some of the funniest parts of the movie. I give it a Thumbs Up! 
Having a great time showing off the baby and the weather is great! Going out to do some tax free shopping today - have a great day!!!
