We are getting school done, and I am going to the gym (and disinfecting the machines when I'm done). I washed my fancy new cell phone - you know the Christmas Gift.
Wait until you hear about my day yesterday!
I woke up and discovered the freezer door had been ajar overnight. The NEW freezer - the BIG one. I lost a few things but most was frozen enough that I shut the door and shuffled off.
I was cooking breakfast when Zander informed me that someone had gone potty in he and Nolan's closet. After lecturing all on how silly that would be I went into their room and discovered that their closet was flooded...and it had seeped out in the room. Now we have no working plumbing in the kitchen.....still today the carpet is wet. It stinks. I can't get it dry or get under it well.
Mike has been at a 3 day exercise, and I hope to really see him tonight. Poor man - no kitchen plumbing, molding carpet, computer woes, AK PFD's to file, and NOW a TAX PROBLEM too. I'm working on the tax problem. It seems the form the base filed was rejected.
Mom's Night Out was Monday night, and I missed it. I was too sick to go anyway. Tuesday night was Bible Study - and we survived. Betsy, a local friend, said SHE had cleaned her cell phone also. That made me feel immeasurably better. Always nice to know you aren't the ONLY ONE!
Here are a few photos from yesterday:
Look how much it cost to fill the tank yesterday!
This is their closet - carpet removed - toy/movie closet - got one bucket of water from here.
See the water in the main room - 3 buckets of water sucked up
Stuff everwhere
Preparing Beans in the bathroom
I hate being sick. I want to go to bed. I'm going to go have lit/Bible/history discussions with my rhetoric level boys....then maybe sleep.
OH HEY - I DID buy some Amy's organic freezer meals and some paper plates - that's a bright side to the wet...I don't feel like cooking this week anyway. ::snort::
AND - my new/used cell phone is working! Now everyone just needs to call me so I can harvest their numbers....

De'Etta, I'm sorry to hear you're sick. I'll be praying for your speedy and full recovery.
I'm glad to hear the freezer mishap wasn't worse. We weren't as fortunate when the weekend before Easter we lost two large trash bags full of meat.
Any idea where the water is coming from? Praying for a quick resolution.
Thank you, Michelle.
Yeah a pipe in the kitchen sprung a leak.....
Oh Sis,
I'm sorry you're not feeling well! Praying for your recovery during the trials in Mike's time away.
Sis:
YIKES, I should have read the older post before I spoke. :) So sorry for the water leak..... seems those happen in most households when the man is gone. I'll never forget the time we had major company in Managoy and the septic tank at the house overflowed into the area under the house where we had rooms etc..... floating poop! Of course no septic suck it all up truck there. The people who fixed such things came out... dub a huge hole next to the septic... came back at night to bucket the stuff out of the septic into the huge hole... when it got to deep for them to reach down with the buckets they put some stuff in to kill (HA) the germs etc... one man got inside up to his waist and handed the buckets up to those who then dumped it into the huge hole... of course the dumping part was done only at night.... HOW'S THAT FOR A SANITARY WAY TO SOLVE A SEPTIC PROBLEM? YUCK! We took our American guests from Manila to the island, to Haguniay Falls, etc. Have fotos of us all taking clothes on baths in the backyard with the hose. :):):) We did laugh alot during that time.
We also had to prepare meals at the outside water sites.
love/prayers
Mom
Sis:
Praying you get to feeling better very fast!!!

Man, De'Etta...tough week. Sorry you are feeling under the weather and what a time for a leak. It is so hard to get the water/smell out of a carpet.
Hope Mike gets home quick and you feel better.
Gas prices.... ugh!
