As I said before, after almost a month of being sick, we had one of the craziest weeks of our lives, which included:
1. Our chicken “ran away” – I took Cadence in to get the eggs and the chickens hurried out of the coop. I couldn’t get them back in, but had to get ready for the temple. I quickly took a shower and came back outside to find only one! After searching almost 24 hours for it (off and on) we found out a little boy decided he was going to pick one up and take it home. We’re still trying to track him down, so if you see a white leghorn chicken with a little boy (4-5 yrs. old) in the center of Provo, PLEASE let us know! I’m missing the 2 eggs a day & I think our other chicken is lonely!
2. Our washer overflowed – again! I know, I know..we’ve needed a new one since we’ve moved in really. This time it FLOODED the kitchen and spilled into the living room. After using all my towels, baking soda, a friend’s carpet cleaner, and a fan, it’s mostly fixed. The carpet is still smelling a little funny.
3. Cadence ran away! I was on the computer and he was happily playing beside me. In a matter of about 1-2 minutes he went out the backdoor (which I forgot was open) down and down about a block (across the street). I ran frantically to find him and found him safely with a policeman who just “happened” to come around the corner just as he ran across the street. After giving them some information to finish their report, Cade now has a juvenile record and has been termed a “wanderer”. Just in case he does it again, they will know where to go to find parents. I felt like a horrible mom and cried for about an hour. I hope I never have to experience that again!
