pThe Great Flood of 2010 p
There is nothing more fun than walking out of your bedroom and feeling a wet spot on your carpet. Initially it was thought that perhaps Roxy, our puppy had an accident. I go into the kitchen and come to discover that we had a problem. My feet are under water up to my ankles and I can not figure out what the heck is going on OR where this water is coming from?!?
I was unable to find a source in the kitchen so I turned on the lights in the hall way (where I first stepped in a wet spot) and I noticed the carpet is also under water near my daughter's bedroom door. I open her door and could not believe what I was seeing. Her whole room was under water. I open her bathroom door and water is pouring out of the water line behind the toilet. What a mess!!
Lauren slept through all of this. It was still early in the morning so I turned off the valve behind the toilet, looked at Lauren and then sloshed my way out of her room and wandered back to bed. I am not sure if I was more in shock or if I just couldn't bear to think about what the clean up was going to be like. So that morning I took the kids to school and started making a bunch of calls to see who could come suck up all this water.
Next thing I knew..I had all this equipment in front of my house and total chaos was upon me.
I had literally talked to the kids the night before about buying Lauren a new bedroom set. Her current bed etc has been handed down from her brother and it is almost 11 years old. This bed has also been through at least 6 'moves' and another family who I had given it to and it was given back to me...don't ask. My thinking when I saw the flood waters in her room was..WOW, be careful what you wish for. I did have plans to shop for a new bed for her in the next couple weeks. I guess there is more of an urgency to get her something this weekend.
Yep, the kitchen had water damage too. I have never seen so many fans nor have I been in such a loud environment.
Needless to say, we certainly could not have made dinner at home. With 10 Fans Howling, a Dehumidifier Humming and giant trash cans collecting water, so my sweet Romance took us out for dinner and dessert!~Who said Chocolate Cake doesn't solve problems~So for the next 48 hours we will be living in a Wind Tunnel. PS: Did I mention that my DRYER went out a couple days before the flood of 2010!I found a new (to me) Dryer on Craigslist that is being delivered tonight, so thank goodness. Having a flood and no dryer = Wet and Stinky Mess!
PS: Last Night The Boy Told Me He Has A Girlfriend! *sighs*
Looking forward to some White Sands and Crystal Clear Waters...
This is one of the two dresses she wore. She looked amazing!

Lauren & I outside the chapel (The Gardens).
Headed to the reception in style! Wish my iPhone took better pictures. Of course when you are on a bumpy road and you are a shaky gal that can't help out the quality!
