Since I am home during the day now, we set up some appointments to get some things looked at in the house. It seemed like all the sudden there were these items that popped up that neither one of us had the ability to fix. Eric called our home warranty company regarding the different items and they said they would call back within 24 hours to schedule a time to come to the house within the next week. Scratch that. Everyone and their brother came over today within a 8-hour period. I was glad to have such a speedy response but it was a bit overwhelming. The plumber came to look at a leaking toilet and our hot water heater. The HVAC guy came to look at the blower motor in the furnace. The electrician figured out what was wrong with our master bathroom lights. The high speed internet guys came to figure out why our internet speed was so slow and intermittently cutting out. A general contractor came to give Eric a bid for the master bathroom floor since the slow leak in the toilet was starting to bubble the linoleum in there.
At 8:35 this morning when I found out that the first of many people were coming over, I thought that today was going to be disastrous. The boys have been teething and full on boycotting nap time. Amazingly, Abraham took two 2-hour naps today despite all the in and out of people and all the loud voices. Our killer attack dogs Suzie and Scooter also threw in some barking for good measure. Winston was in a much better mood today and I was soooo thankful. The little guy had been wearing me down. Here is the crazy thing. Winston woke up from a nap and I laid him down to do a diaper change. He smiled at me and I saw something on his upper arch. I did not think it could be a tooth already but it most definitely was. The little dude has cut both of his eye teeth or lateral incisors. I am not quite sure which ones they are because it's hard to assess how much space his teeth would take, how close together, etc. It definitely looks like his eye teeth. I now know why he was so grumpy. Apparently those eye teeth are extra painful when they come in. He is my little vampire baby for now. I checked Abraham and no sign of his yet but he did cut a lower lateral incisor last week. These boys are totally different in some regards.
Thankful that we can get stuff fixed around here. Thankful for a home warranty. Thankful that the boys had a good day. Thankful I can be home to love on my boys and smooch their cheeks as much as I want. Thankful for my husband bringing me home roses just because.

Today is the last day of NaBloPoMo. It feels good to accomplish a goal. I doubted I could do it but I managed to get a post done everyday. I learned how to write and compose faster which is a very valuable skill. I will be slowing down the blogging pace from here on out for a while. I want to focus on getting stuff done around my house and getting ready for the Christmas season.
