The craziest month ever

Oh August, I'm so glad you're over with. It was craziness, besides Lauren's birthday weekend. It all started with me getting sick, just a little head cold but enough to make me tired and unmotivated to do anything, which was really frustrating since I had family coming in for a weekend and had a lot to do. So this is how it went down, Monday-got sick. Tuesday-a.c. stopped working it's full capacity, called the manager and she said the repair man won't be there till Thursday. At 5:30, electricity went out, not for everybody though only three buildings in our complex, lucky us. (this week was also recorded as the hottest week of the summer) Luckily our neighbors invited us to their place till it was time to sleep. Wednesday morning at 10, electricity comes back on, a.c. still not really working. I had bought a new entertainment center on Tuesday morning and it was still in the boxes, I was in the heat with a cold and had no motivation. My family was arriving Friday afternoon and my house was complete chaos, it looked like we just moved in with all the laundry and boxes and toys everywhere. Wednesday afternoon I finally sat down and started going knowing if I waited any longer I would be so mad at myself. Thursday morning the repair man came and our home suddenly felt like paradise instead of the week long hell hole. Friday came and my family arrived. I still had a little cold lingering but it was mostly gone and the best part, we survived. That's how I felt when our house was miraculously put back in order, I walked around and felt like I had survived a boot camp.
