Not enough hours

We had so much to do this weekend

and there just wasn't enough hours in the day. My youngest DD had a Girl Scout event to attend, so we started our weekend with that. It was at the mall and they walked from one table to the next doing crafts.  Our oldest DD went as well. When we were finished there we went and got some lunch and then went to the thrift store right next door. I had asked for some soda tabs on Freecycle for a craft project I am doing and we needed to run and get them. After that we came home in the hopes that my DH and DS could get on our roof to do some repairs. We live in a mobile home that is in very bad shape.  Due to some unfortunate events that have happened in the last couple of years we could not afford to keep up the repairs on our home nor could we afford to move into another home or a rental house.  We have gotten some materials from Freecycle that has enabled us to start doing some repair work on the roof. At the time being we have a 3 foot hole in our roof. We have put metal and plastic over it, but all that has just been temporary fixes. The plastic ripped away during the last storm we had and the metal sheeting didn't work as well as we had hoped. Anyway when we got home our DS had run into town with a friend and was not home and did not return home until it was too late for DH and DS to get on the roof. Of course it started to rain. Isn't that Murphy's law? We have quite a few buckets and bowls catching the rain at the moment. I think we may be just as wet inside the house as it is outside. Well, this project will have to wait unti drier weather. My DH and DS decided that they would begin on the next project needing done. They went and purchased a new hot water heater. I decided I needed a nap. I was just so tired. My DH and DS arrived back home around 9pm. We had planned on going out for a drink with a friend so I got up and decided to get ready. We went out for a few drinks and ended up getting breakfast before returning home. We hadn't been out like this for a very, very long time. It was very relaxing. It was very late when we got home, or early depending on how you think. It was about 3:30am. I went almost right to bed and slept like a log. We woke up this am and ran to get the parts for the water heater we bought yesterday and needed to be put in today. We grabbed something to eat and picked up some more shingles we got off of Freecyle. In case anyone is interested you can find your local Freecycle at http://www.freecycle.org/. After getting home my DS and my DH went to work on the old water heater. It had been leaking and had almost fallen through the floor. Now we have a big hole in the closet floor. My DH is just going to lay a board over the old floor because we do not plan on being here longer than another year and really don't want to put any more money than we have to into the house. I am hoping they will at least get the water heater in before tonight. Must try and find those missing extra hours or learn to slow time. Maybe split ourselves in half. Until any of this is possible we will make the best out of the time we have.

P.S. As I was finishing this up my DH came to inform me he needs another part and all of the stores are closed because it is sunday. No hot water tonight, no water at all. One more project left undone. He will have to get the part after work tomorrow and finish it up then.
