Are we Jinxed?
Phil & I were beginning to think our weekend away just wasn't going to happen as planned.
On Wednesday, our a/c went out. We thought it was going to be an easy fix. We wound up having to replace the whole unit (which didn't get done until Thursday).
Wednesday afternoon, I got a call from daycare saying Callie had thrown up. They called again a little while later and said Callie just didn't feel well. So, I go pick up the kids and head home to a warm house. Luckily, it wasn't that bad in the living room where we had a fan going.
Thursday morning, I call Wendy to see if she's on her way. She's sitting on the side of the Interstate w/ a flat tire. She finally got it fixed and got here around 9:00 Thursday night.
Phil & I finally left Friday morning (as planned). We get to Sevierville and my stomach starts hurting again (I just got over a stomach bug earlier in the week). Anyway, we get some Immodium AD and go on our way. :)
We checked into our cabin around 2:00. Guess what? The A/C is out!! Phil calls the place, they said they'll send someone. Someone did show up around 4:30 or so...he couldn't fix it. He said someone else will have to come back out. So, we go to supper. We get back and our cable appears to be out. Phil calls again...well, this time, it wound up being operator error...somehow, we turned the VCR on and the cable no longer worked...it's around 7:00...A/C is still out. Phil calls again (he's probably already called 3-4 times by this time)...they're still sending someone out. FINALLY, around 9:00 or so, the right person comes out and fixes the a/c.
It was only bad in the cabin for a couple of hours (there were 2 units and 1 was working - it was the smaller unit, so it didn't work well).
After a shaky start, Phil & I had a wonderful time in the mountains...nice and relaxing.
We called home this morning and found out that Wendy got sick during the night. She called mom at 5:30 this morning and she came out to take care of the kids until we got home. :)
It's kind of been a comedy of errors all weekend. It was nice to get away, though.
