Sr. Murphy

Well with this last week ending, my first week as a house wife begins! So my OCD kind of set in and I made a list of floor to ceiling things to get done. This is one of the positive side effects from my previous job, we would have daily tasks to get done and after basically detail cleaning for seven years I've picked up a few ideas of forgotten cleaning spots. Since living in our house for a little over a year it's sad but true to say my husband and I have kind of slacked on the cleaning department. So, it is an understatement that I was excited to get our house finally clean! I basically committed to tackling a room a day and made a list of things I knew needed to get done in that time:

So yesterday I was all gung-ho on the front room of my house:

I picked up all the stuff I had laying around, vacuumed and shampooed the carpet, cleaned windows, dusted the wooden pieces (from the pictures I know it looks like  I have a bunch of dead space, that's because my hubby needs to make me a formal dining table...) and started even shampooing the small arm chairs... and then this happened: 

The connector of the upholstery attachment came apart (while the machine was on... WATER EVERYWHERE!; although on the plus side I had motivation to mop the tile haha) and now I have to go find a new clamp and figure out how to attach it... (basically this means I'm waiting until my dad comes to visit next because he's a genius and master tool man) So shampooing aside I went about my day and started to tackle the kitchen, (kinda...more like I started munching on things) made dinner, took Mitzi on a walk and got ready for bed. This is when I noticed it was uncomfortably warm in the house, Mitzi was panting up a storm on the bed and my two kitties were sprawled out on the tile in the shower (the SHOWER...common what cats do you know that willingly go in the shower???). So I wandered over to the upstairs thermostat and noticed it was 86 degrees! (I usually keep mine set to 78)... that's when I noticed the fan/vents were working but the unit itself was not... crap... oh and did I mention my phone had been going off all day with Excessive Heat warnings for the whole week; we're talking temps in the 110's... So I contact the tech that I know from my old job (He is a mater at AC units) and tell him what is happening and he reminded me my house isn't that old and should be under warrantee (genius I tell you!). I call the air company that installed the unit and talk to their emergency call department and they assure me I'll receive a call at 7 am in the morning. So I turn everything off, open some windows find every fan I own and try to get some sleep. Then comes the morning, 7 comes and goes, no call, 8 am comes... no call... I go upstairs at 9 and see this: 

Basically its still super hot and no call.. (meanwhile I'm trying to call them and no answer... so frustrating!) finally around 10 am (this is now 12 hours of knowing my AC is broken) I get ahold of someone, they say nothing about the fact I've called a bunch of times and left messages, and now they tell me that someone will come sometime today. So the four leggeds and me have to hang out in this hot house for the time being until the AC guy shows up.... and since its so hot I don't want to continue cleaning things and get over heated. Hopefully my next post will have more profess pics of my house getting cleaner. So until next time have a great week!
