What a week! Earlier this week, I left for a friend's house and the washing machine hose came out of the utility sink and poured out water for 2 1/2 hours. Whew! I came home to a huge wet mess. Our basement flooded through the ceiling and was a big puddle. We are working on some insurance claims, getting a new washing machine and all that stuff. I am so thankful it wasn't worse - we are safe, the hardwood floors didn't get ruined and we don't have wall to wall carpeting in the basement.
Yesterday our neighbor across the street had to call 911 because their back up generator was on fire. Our other neighbor Pam just had a dozen baby bunnies born to her big white rabbit.
I also got pulled over yesterday morning. Thanks to one of my kids, the registration sticker got pulled off my license plate. But, my registration was overdue by 7 days. I explained that we recently moved and they never sent the new forms to us and life got busy. So off to court in a month! Then Ellen called the fireman button on the elevator at MOPS. That honestly wasn't a big deal but it really freaked out the other kids on the elevator.
After the flood, I ran over to Lowes to look for a remnant to lay down in the basement for the kids to play on something soft. I found this round 3 foot soccer ball rug in the clearance section. I went up the customer service and they told me it was $12.5, originally $49.50. I told them "that isn't good enough" and that I would only buy it if it was $2 or less. So he marked them down to $2. Seriously, Sam has never loved anything more. He sleeps with it and rolls it up and walks around the house with it. That and the lifesize singing horse I got at a yard sale in the rain last Sat. It is HUGE.

The draining process was very involved...
Wet Vac that we got from our realtor... great gift. 
My dad supervising Nate - what a mess!
Closet mess and I am so thankful that my "swap stuff" was off the floor.

And here is the horse!! She didn't get wet. Her name is Sparkle.

ReplyDeleteWow...rough week.
ReplyDeleteYou and your deals! Unbelievable! You need to post a pic of the soccer ball rug! Thought of you this week because they're camped out for DAYS for the chic-fil-a near my house! Missed you at homecoming! I win the award for most random comment ever--do I win a $2 soccer ball rug?
