For the past threes days and well into the night we have been working hard on our basement putting a third bedroom in. We wanted to get in by today because we had our house appraised today. I went downstairs with the lady and I asked her about the room being a third bedroom. She says it don't count as a third bedroom. My heart bounced clear down to my feet I think. I said it don't? She says no, but they give credit for it as a finished part of the basment. What a bummer! She said even places that have a kitchen and bar kind of area in a basment don't count as a second kitchen. That's crazy I think!

My Dad is home from the hospital. He came home Sunday. He was getting so tired of staring at the four walls of the hospital room! So he's doing good!

My Dad wound up in the hospital again on Monday. He just wasn't acting right when I was there on Monday. To make a long story short it ends up that he has an infection caused from his open sore on his heel that he got when he was bed ridden for so long. It still hasn't healed all the way. Today they were mentioning that he may go home, but it wasn't for sure. He says he's ready! LOL Other then that there really hasn't been a whole lot going on.

Diaper Dilemma

It started on Sunday during Dylan's nap. He learned how to take off his diaper. When I went to get him from his nap he had his socks, pants and diaper off, and had peed all over his bed. I thought great. Well, on Tuesday morning he did it again while I was putting some clothes in the washer downstairs. I'm not sure if he just likes being naked or what. LOL Well, the third time it happened was Tuesday afternoon, only this time it was much worse. I was upstairs putting clothes away and I could smell that he had pooped all the way upstairs. As I was heading downstairs I was thinking oh no!! Well, I was right. He had taken his poopy diaper off. He had it all over his clothes, under his finger nails, on his face. It was so sick!!! So needless to say I had to give him a bath before I could put him down for his afternoon nap. I friend of mine says that it's a sign to start potty training when they do that, but I'm not so sure. I try to put Dylan on the potty and he's terrified. So any advice you have will be nice!

Well, Friday night went pretty good even though it was Superbowl weekend! My friend Melissa had made us a reservation at an Italian place in Detroit called Roma Cafe. The food was awesome. When she had talked to them on the phone Thursday they told her that they would shuttle us to and from the concert also! BUT when we got there and talked to the driver of the shuttle he said he wasn't working that late and that he could only drive us TO the concert and we'd be on our own on the way back. He had told us that there would be TONS of cabs on this one side of Joe Louis Arena. So we said OK, that will work. Well, the concert was really good. Kid Rock went non-stop for almost three hours! The only time he stopped was to get a drink and wipe himself off. Then he was back at it again. So it was good! During the concert though, there were four guys behind us and one was so drunk that he lost hi balance and fell head first into Alton's seat. Of course we were standing, but he still about knocked Alton into the row in front of us! He was begging Alton not to hit him! LOL So we and his buddies helped get him back into his row. Then we all started cracking up! It was funny. So the concert gets done and we are trying to get outside. It was like a herd of cattle. I thought for sure there was going to be a stampede. I don't know if everyone was trying to get out the same door or what, but it was crazy. Finally we get out. And we start looking for the "tons of cabs" that the driver had told us about. There was not even one cab in sight!!! Ya, there were tons of limos and busses to pick people up that had previously arranged it, but not one cab. So we just start following the crowd. There were a bunch of people looking for a cab. We come to the end of the road we were walking on so we asked a police officer where we might find a cab. He directs us up a sort of side street to another road. I was getting a little freaked out. Wondering around Detroit at midnight is not good. So we walk and walk....No cabs anywhere. Then we come to a casino that our friends are familiar with. They said let's go there and they will get us a cab. So we head that way, and almost when we're there here comes a cab. Thank God he stopped and he took us back to get our car! The ride into he cab was interesting too. I thought the side of the car where I was sitting was going to fall off! LOL It was making some pretty weird sounds. Almost like the tire was going to fall off. So we made it to get the car and then made it home in one piece! I felt bad for my parents who were babysitting. We didn't get home until like 1:30 am and then they had to get up early to take my brother to work. I never dreamed we'd be out so late! I don't think we'll go to another concert at Joe Louis!

The Big Concert

Yes, we are crazy!!! We are going to go to Detroit tomorrow night to see Kidd Rock at Joe Louis Arena. I'm beginning to wonder if we are sane. Superbowl weekend and we are going to go to Detroit. LOL My friend got the tickets a month ago. Little did we know it was Superbowl weekend! HOPEFULLY everything will go smoothly. We do know that they have reserved three big parking lots just for the concert, so parking shouldn't be an issue. Then we have to get on a shuttle to take us to the Joe. Yes, it ought to be interesting! Wish us luck!
