Emily's Birthday

Yup its finally Em's bday, it has already started off crappy though... I guess it began last night, I got home from working at like 7 and took a shower. After I was all clean and warm, I got told that the chores were not done, so I had to do them. Being the crazy Loon that I am, I bravily grabbed the flashlight and dashed out in my shorts, Tee shirt, and my old meeting shoes which some know about... :P Anywho, I guess I did not get the mem that it was COLD out there! It was about 5 degrees, and as I dashed to the sheep to check the automatic troughs to see if they were frozen, I saw the bad news. The main trough was bone dry, meaning the pipes froze.

Profanity filled the still, cold night air. I emediatly forgot braving the cold in my shorts, so i ran back and yelled for Em. She came sobbing out about 10 mins later ready to help as it was her fault that it froze. She neglected to tell us that morning that it was already frozen, we proboboly coulda fixed it with a few bucxkets of hot water. But no, it had sat all day frozen and had busted the pipe.

We work for about an hour, hauling hot water and popping the side and top cover to see what was frozen. I found that the steel pipe was frozen that goes into the ground.

We came running back inside, knowing that it was far to late to start screwing around with that.


SO, that leads me to today, It is 8:00 in the morning and Em's party is coming at like 12. That is not much time to removed the trough off the concrete and find the break and fix the pipe.

Woe is me.
