Monday evening our cable went out. We really didn't think much about it since it was in the middle of a thunderstorm. However, when we got up yesterday there was still no cable. My husband called the cable company and apparently there is no wide spread outage, it's just us. Of course the earliest they could get out here is tomorrow evening. So no cable all day yesterday, today, or tomorrow. It's really not that bad. The kids, knowing that turning on the TV yesterday wasn't an option, never asked and truly found other ways to entertain themselves. We did let them watch a DVD last night. Today has been slightly trickier, but overall it's going really well. Tomorrow I'm taking all three kids and heading up to Dad's cottage for the last time to help move them out. Clearly there will be no time to miss TV, but I'm sure there will be lots of other emotions to deal with instead.
Anyway, in addition to no cable, we have no a/c. Our chimney has been "removing itself" from our house for the last year. Since the house was built in 1855, I think the fact that it took so long is pretty darn good! Regardless, in order to jack the chimney back up against the house the a/c had to be disconnected and moved out of the way. They will be back out Friday (tomorrow is chimney day) to reconnect it. We are more grateful than words can express how gorgeous the weather is here. We wouldn't have had it turned on anyway, and we are so lucky it wasn't Monday when the heat index hit 111 degrees.
So no a/c, and although we have rabbit ears for the TV, we haven't put them back on. It's really just like summers when I was a kid...children are OUTSIDE PLAYING!
