My husband not the fix it man!

My entertainment for the weekend... My 3 year old can't open the back screen sliding door, so over time he created his own handle... a large hole in the screen. Which has grown over time. My cats thought this was the best idea ever... now they have a mini door. Andrew then thought that was an even better idea, so now we have a screen that is undone all the way around the bottom half of the door. So yes Saturday is the day we will be fixing this. (My brother Dan volunteered to do this) So while at Lowe's I got my husband to buy the supplies to do this & replace the frames for our front windows, what do we need to hang the microwave in the kitchen, Oh and can we buy the faucet to replace the one in the bathroom that constantly drips. Yes I got my tight husband to buy all of this. So home we go...
Now I am going to be the over achiever that I am & sort though the all the kids clothes to make room for the new summer clothes we bought & I decide to get the girls to clean their room
at the same tim they are making repairs. Yes I am an idiot for trying to do this all at once.
So Daniel is fixing the back screen door & what does my husband decide he can do all on his own. Yep! Dang it when will he ever learn!!! So he takes it out without shattering the bowl. (Unlike when he did the toilet.) As trying to replace the plumbing pipes underneath he realizes the water isn't completly turned off. Their is still a constant small flow even though he turned the water off under the sink. Can I tell you how funny it was watching my brother & husband run around the house trying to find the main water turn off. I think Donald forgot... & he wasn't asking me. (I didn't know waht they were looking for at first.) So they got it turned of & They figured out that yes once again that guy who lived here before us did a half butt job with the pipes. So off we run to Lowe's again. So yes we have the pipes fixed underneath. Daniel finished the project. It is just funny when your brother is stuck half up under your bathroom cabinet & your husband is trying his hardest to watch & learn what he is doing untill 12 p.m. Thank goodness for little brothers.
Maybe I will get front window screens & a hung microwve sometime this week. Oh & my kids all have very clean drwers & the girls room is clean.
Yes I have been horrable about postting. I will try to do better now.
