what a weekend!!!

wow. what a weekend. Since Saturday morning... (it's now Monday at 3pm)

We had our new pillow top mattress delivered.
I shot video from 9 AM to 2:30 on Saturday, (my horror short) then cooked a bunch of burgers for the crew.
Jodie took her French Horn to be fixed.
Our A/C died in the house at some point Saturday night...
Watched "V for Vendeta"
Sunday I got up and was at the coffee House by 9:30, shot video from 10 to 12:30 at two locations, in the heat for the rest of my horror film... Meanwhile,
Jodie is at the house, frantically calling A/C places on a sunday.
After shooting, I help my actor Mike move some stuff out of his apt, in the swealtering heat.
Jodie goes to church with Riley, because it's air conditioned... then goes to the mall, where it's also cool. At some point during the day, she checks the temp in the house, it's 95.
I met Jodie at the mall around 3... we return home around 4... it's 105 in the house, no sign of an A/C guy.
We check into the Super 8. Feed Riley Chicken McNuggets and french Fries. She falls off the bed and smacks her head. We calm her and then jump in a cool hotel pool for about 45 minutes.
We get out of the pool and settle in for the night. A/C guy calls around 8, and wants to try and fix the a/c. We thought we'd have to replace the whole thing, costing thousands... he fixes it for $145. We stay in the hotel cause it's paid for, and the house won't be cool for hours.

Overnight on Monday, Jodie wakes up around 4AM with intense "cramping" almost like Labor pains... She doubles over in pain for a few hours. I take Riley to daycare, tell work I can't make it, (I had a semi-important shoot this evening around 7 PM.). Jodie calls her OB-GYN, they tell her since she has an appt. on Wed, to either suffer through it, or go to the ER. So...

OFF TO THE ER WE GO! After sitting around in a room for 45 minutes, they confirm Jodie is not pregnant... (we knew that already.) and eventually give her some Vicodin. That helps the cramps. They exam her, find nothing wrong... give her some pain meds and send us on our way.

Jodie is upstairs sleeping, I'm downstairs doing laundry until it's time to get Riley aroun 5:30.

So... How was your weekend? Mine was... busy.
