Bad Reality Show

As most of you know, nothing in the Sciortino household is done easily. And right now I feel like we are smack in the middle of a bad reality show where the audience knows that everything is just a joke, but the people in the show don't. YIKES! You see, earlier in the summer we had a new air conditioning unit put in because it would get up to 80 and above upstairs. So, to make a long story short, it continued to reach 79 or 80 degrees upstairs even after we spent all the money, so the air conditioner people have been back over and over and over again. Put it this way, Campbell knows the name of the repairman, and David knows his cell phone number by heart.

Well, we thought everything was working finally after Saturday when they replaced all our duct work. Then David came home from work yesterday and found water spots all over the ceiling in the guest room. That's right, folks, now the unit was leaking. You've got to be kidding me!! So, he calls them again to express his feelings on the subject. We had been VERY patient, but enough was enough.

And so, they were here all day today ripping out the unit and putting in another new one. The worst part is that we've had no AC upstairs since yesterday afternoon, so poor Campbell had to spend the night with our neighbors last night. Then we hung out at Jamie's all day today. Now, they had promised to be done by tonight, but I had this sneaky suspicion that things wouldn't work out exactly as planned. So, I went ahead and took Campbell up to David's parents' to spend the night tonight. Well, good thing I did because I get home a little before 8:00 tonight to hear that they are not in fact finishing tonight because they ran out of gas for their blow torches. Seriously, do we have a curse or something?!?

All this to say, my sweet Campbell has been an absolute champ, sleeping in 4 different beds in 4 different houses in 2 days, and actually sleeping!! I wish I could give him some kind of reward for being so good, but I don't know if he'd understand it. And so, we shall remain in this terrible reality show. Anyone have any good ideas for a name for the show? After all, if this is going to happen to us anyway, maybe we could make a little money off it! :) I hope everyone else is having a better week than mine.
