My front yard

Good news and bad news? Which one do you want first or which one do I want to gab about the most? Good news: the busted water pipe is on the other side of our meter meaning it is not our responsibility to fix. Bad news: two things, the leak could possibly be up underneath the road, the other one is my front yard is in pieces. Dad and his friend tried digging to find the leak up and down our front yard only to find out that is on the other side of the meter. So now there is a nice swimming pool in our front yard. I told Mariano yesterday that if we cut off our water that there shouldn't be any water coming through. But the whole Mariano and Dad dug, was getting fuller with water. Only because the leak was on the other side. So they are digging now trying to find the leak. Hopefully we will have water turned on, my friend 'Tommy' came around yesterday and I told Mariano that I had to have running water because I go to the bathroom more frequently and I would have to get up during the night. So he turned it on today. The sad thing is when the guy from Brentwood jumps in the hole, you can barely see his head. And they still haven't gotten to a pipe yet. That is sad. He's about 6-ft tall. Anyways....
Aydan has started saying 'da-da'. Unfortunately....I have been trying so hard for him to say Ma-Ma but all he ever got out was mmmm...Mariano says that is what I get for trying so hard. But I told Mariano that I don't think he actually relates da da to him, I think he only says it because Mom and Dad are trying to be fair and they have been practicing both for him. But of course Mariano believes differently.
Kind of got some bad news on the new job thing. Still have the job though, I was supposed to start this following Monday. I was told that I would have to train my replacement which I was ready to. But about two weeks ago at work we ran out of SO2 which we use for the majority of the plant. Without this chemical we can't make electrolyte which is kind of like the battery acid that oozes out with you leave on in there too long. So they have shut down that side of the plant until we get some in. They were expecting some a month ago which came two weeks ago. The truck load that they got was bad, it had some cloudy mixture in it and there can only be a certain percentage of moisture. If failed our test, I used to do these test before I got pregnant. Loved them! So they are not for sure when the next truck load will be here because it comes from Texas. Hopefully this weekend, but if not this weekend then they will have to wait possibly til mid November. The company we buy this from places the SO2 on freight train then somewhere in Tennessee they transfer it to a truck because carrying it on a train and going across the mountain they say is too risky. SO2 takes away your oxygen, impossible to breath it so it is very dangerous. Anyways, I do have a point...since most of the plant was off of work due to the lack of SO2, it is not fair to those who want to bid on my job. When a person leaves or moves for whatever reason, they 'post' that job, people bid, most of the time depending on seniority is who get it. So whenever SO2 comes in, then they will re post the job for two days, then they will decide and THEN I get to train. So who knows...not to thrilled about it but things like this do happen. I was looking forward to a 40 hour week with no weekend work. But we can place the money somewhere else, possibly on Aydan and mine's hospital bill.
Anybody watch Smallville? Love it, Love Clark too! But I need to get to watching it because I have two brothers who are begging for the season 6 which I borrowed from Scott. So watching an episode or two from that sounds pretty good, only if I can stay awake...
