Monday, November 12, 2007 - One of THOSE Days
We were having such a wonderful and productive morning. We were cruising through our school work. We had already done our personal devotions and family devotions, got dressed, folded a basket of laundry, had four baskets ready to go and the dishwasher was running. All before 10:30 in the morning which is quite an accomplishment for us. We were on such a roll.
Unitl...(that's never good)
Found that there is a leak under the sink. It leaked all through the under sink area (a scary place that is now a smelly, wet, scary place) and out on to my kitchen floor. (Didn't I just mop?) :Sigh:
Put a call into Dad's office to let him know. He wasn't there so I left a message. I guess I won't be able to use the sink today. That will be fine. We have plenty of other things to do and at least I got a load of clean dishes.
We went down to the basement to put in the first of many loads of laundry on the list of things to do. What we found? Not pretty.
The water that leaked from the sink also leaked down into the basement and onto the dryer. The yucky, stinky, brown water. Bleck.
After the dryer was cleaned off we ran our first load of laundry and went on our merry little way.
Putting our second load in 45 minutes later we heard a funny sound and thought something smelled funny, but only faintly.
That water also dripped into an outlet and was now causing it to smoke and make noises...UGH
Called Dad, again! This time tried his cell phone and prayed that he picked up because he never seems to pick up. He picked up, praise the Lord. He walked me through turning that particular breaker off. I'm to periodically check the outlet today, even though there is no power going to it.
So, can't use my sink. Can't do more dishes. Can't do laundry.
And we were doing SO well.

That is a bummer. Sorry that happened to you. Thanking Jesus that you were able to locate your dad by phone and turn off the breakers! That's what cell phones are for right ....finding that person no matter where they are no matter what they are doing! I do it all the time with dh and mum. I am so thankful for cell phones! I don't know what i'd do without it! Have a great week! dh has the next 3 weeks off so it was so great to have him pop in the classroom a couple of times while he was working in the house. Take care and hope your dad was able to fix everything:)
