Crunch Time...

Well, we are almost down to counting hours now until J returns and man is it crunch time now. All has gone relatively smoothly around the house the past few weeks until tonight. I am giving the house one last good scrub down before J comes home and whadda ya know...something has gotta go wrong. I think it all started this morning while I was getting ready...when somehow I knocked my soap dispenser in the sink and it hit the faucet on the way down and of course broke, but thankfully it was in the sink, so the soap was easy to clean up, but now I need to get a new dispenser to match the rest of the bathroom stuff. But I finished getting ready, went to a 7am conference and on to school at 8 for a test in which I did make a 98 (sorry, had to give myself a pat on the back for a second, for that test - I really needed that high grade) and then into the lectures the rest of the day. I then went to work until 7pm (had to make up the time I missed last night cause I was getting my hair "did!") Anyhoo...I finally made it home and proceeded to start cleaning. I got everything done except the vacuuming and mopping. So I came upstairs to get the vacuum and when I turned it on it made a loud pop and then started smelling like some burnt rubber...so yes, I now need to go tomorrow to try to find a new belt for it. I am a little scared that no one will have one in store and I will have to order one online because the vacuum is ancient (7.5 years old!) If I can not find one, I may have to resort to the shopvac somehow....I of course, do not want to make a big purchase such as a vacuum cleaner without J being home. But hopefully I will find a belt tomorrow because I am having a study group here on Sunday afternoon and J will be home very soon and the carpets need some cleaning! So crunch time has set it and the clock is ticking fast!
So we shall see tomorrow what happens!!
