Sleepy Craziness

Yesterday, we were supposed to leave for Minnesota, but that didn't happen. My uncle (the one that's like 6' 8" tall...) owns a cabin on a huge lake outside of a little town called Annandale, MN. We usually go up to the cabin twice a year. In the summer, we stay for a week, and in the winter we just stay for an extended weekend. It's really cool to be able to claim that the lake I learned how to water ski on is the lake that I learned how to ice skate and drive a snowmobile on.

Our original plan was to leave around 4 a.m. on Friday, so we would get there around noon, but that was soon altered when Momma's work computer rejected the wireless card. (Mom had to work this weekend, so she was going to do it at the cabin, off of the wireless card thing.) So, she had to go into work (at Nebraska Heart Hospital in Lincoln) and have the IT people fix her computer. When she got home around 8, we loaded up the pick-up truck, and we were about ready to leave when Dad realized that our furnace wasn't working. He tried to fix it, but he couldn't. And he didn't want to leave with a broken furnace because we didn't want to come home to a house that is flooded because of water pipes freezing and bursting. So, we unloaded the truck. Dad called the furnace fixing guy, and he said that he could be there in the afternoon. We packed up the pick-up truck again while Dad started the wood burning stove. Grandpa came over to keep and eye on the stove and wait for the furnace guy. Finally, we left, but we were only about 3 sections down the road when we got a call from my uncle. He said that all of the pipes at the cabin were frozen and that the water didn't work. Mom and Dad decided that we should probably stay home because 16 people can't stay in one cabin with no water. Dreadfully, we unloaded the truck again. All of us were disappointed. The trips to the cabin are the only times, other than Christmas, that most of the family is together. At least now I don't have to worry about making up the Encore rehearsal that I was going to miss, and now my Girls Choir director doesn't have to find a replacement girl to sing my solo on Sunday.

I was so tired last night. It was insane. I fell asleep on the couch around 8, and then went upstairs around 10 to go to bed. I didn't get out of bed until almost 10 this morning. I never sleep that late. Apparently I was sleep-texting and sleep-calling last night, so if you got a strange text from me last night, I'm sorry. I should really stop leaving my phone next to my bed at night.
