Here are some of the things that Ally's family has accomplished in the past 5 days:

Successfully canceled a credit card after someone used our number to buy a computer in California.

Mysteriously started a car after it would not turn over for 5 minutes.

Did some early Christmas shopping in the form of a new hot water heater.

One of us (Daddy) took an unexpected day off work to be at home for installation of hot water heater.

Took 2 ice cold head showers after new water heater was not hooked up properly. (So we could be semi-presentable at work today.)

Finally took a hot shower!

Forced our kid not to eat for 6 hours so she could have a bunch of tests done.

Is it possible for tomorrow to be normal?
