Ladder Danger

Ok so here’s a quick update for the rest of the week:

Thursday and Friday were spent repairing more things at ArkWings. Mollie and I helped repair and paint the fence, and we visqueened the porch area and started to visqueen an area in the barn…but we were stopped because Mario was up on a 20 foot ladder leaning against the wall in the barn, reaching for the highest beam on the ceiling to prove to us girls that the ladder was “safe” because we were all refusing to go on it, when the ladder slipped down the wall and Mario fell along with it, landing with his feet stuck in and under the heavy ladder. Gahhh he is okay now, just a little sore, but it was so scary and stupid, really, because we had tried to tell the lady in charge that it was a bad idea, but she insisted that she was a safety person and knew what she was doing…yeah, righttt. The whole rest of the afternoon we were all fuming about the whole situation…but we have to move on, and at least no one was seriously injured…and my point about lack of safety was proven haha so we will no longer be using those crazy ladders! Besides that excitement, we went to read to the kiddos on Saturday morning, but none of them showed up! L So we were stuck “practicing” reading to each other, which was entertaining, but ridiculous at the same time haha.

Last night Mollie, Drew, Mario, Eric and I journeyed out to find an Applebees to get dessert after dinner, but the first one we found was packed and there was nowhere for our huge 15 passenger van to park, so we followed the GPS to a different one, but it didn't actually exist, so we searched for a TGIFridays instead. We ended up finding one in the middle of the busy city, parallel parked the van, and then they told us it would be an hour and a half wait…at 10pm! We couldn't believe how busy all the restaurants were so late at night! So we ended up traveling about an hour total to end up at a Denny’s with the slowest service I have ever experienced! We were JUST about to give up and walk out, when our food was finally served 45 minutes after we ordered! Andddd, it was not busy at all there…we saw the workers all sitting at one of the booths in the corner chatting with each other rather than working…annoying! They finally started working when a man showed up, who we are assuming was their manager, though! 

This morning (Sunday) we all ended up sleeping in til about noon! Crazy! And now we are all at Barns & Noble using the wireless (which I keep getting kicked off of…ughhh I need a new computer I guess!)

Oh, here is a list of things that are annoying the team currently (myself included):

We still have no cable, internet, or a working dryer…all of which we were told by ArkWings that we would have upon arrival…it wouldn’t be such a big deal that we don't have these things, except for the fact that we were expecting them when we got there…
