Water Wonderland

Everybody hates Mondays. If you don't, you're a freak of nature. In fact, we hate Monday's so much in our house, the boy is constantly hoping for power outages and other small disasters that will prevent us from hearing that annoying alarm Monday morning.

Much to our chagrin we had a nice little flood Monday morning in our bathroom that enabled one of us to take off and the other to go in late. This was not the type of small disaster we were hoping would happen. 20 towels didn't even put a dent on our new indoor pool. To make matters worse, I run downstairs to try and find the little card with the number to our home warranty company (thank God we purchased that) and water is running (not dripping, but running) from our sprinkler system. My living room now has a built-in shower head and my bathroom turned into an indoor pool- how was I to know when we bought this house we would be so lucky a month in to discover new amenities.

All in all our not-go-to-work-Monday-disaster was cleaned up in about an hour and after the boy was smart enough to remember we have a water shut off valve, the leaky sprinkler stopped too. I could put good money down that we will not be wishing for semi-disasters anymore. Karma is a bitch!

On an off note- my bestie from the westie (ok she lives in FL now but I still like the rhyme, even though I'm not sure Missouri is considered "out west") is flying in today for the last time before that baby in her belly pops out. Antics shall resume.

  1. 20 towels? Who even has 20 towels?

  2. When we moved in, everyone bought us towels. We're set for a lifetime. Or at least the next 10 years.

    And thanks! We did a bang up job tagging teaming the mess!
