You know that great song (ha ha) from the 80s "things that make you go hmmm" Well, we are living it right now... Here's the story:
We needed to be in Utah last Friday for Kiley to go to Primary Childrens. (Kiley had her foot looked at, and all is well. We are now only required to wear her shoes at night! Hooray!) Back to the story.... The kids didn't have school Thurs/Fri, so I decided to leave Wed. That morning, I exercised ... but was feeling rushed so I only did it 30 minutes. Anyway, this is important because when I came downstairs I heard water running, not a good sound, and as I followed the rushing water sound I was greeted by a flowing waterfall out of the toilet!! (Our toilets have had issues - ALL 4 of them! UG!!)
Anyway, after FREEKING OUT, I had to find the plunger! The first bathroom had a plunger, unfortunately the door is locked (thanks Zach), and little Emily-is on the toilet waiting for me to wipe her, she is locked in and screaming, thanks again Zach. The next bathroom has no plunger. Finally in the last bathroom I find our other plunger and sprint downstairs to the waterfall. With plunger in hand, I stop the water and then mop up the floor using almost every towel I can find. (I think I counted 10) After I finally got the floor dry, no more "running" water sound, I hear the "screaming sound" yes, it was Emily I forgot to save her from her toilet prison!OOPS!
Unfortunately -all of the floor is wood..... Fast forward to Sunday evening. We arrived home from Utah (gone5 days) to find the floor BUCKLED! The entire bathroom, into the hallway and even into the kitchen! Two board in the kitchen are the most damaged - weird.
Fast forward - Monday called the insurance co. they sent over a restoration company. Tues. they ripped up my floor, made a plastic room and started the engines (FANS).. So, since Tues. we have been living in an air terminal!! A CONSTANT hmmmmmmmm fills our house, not a quiet hmmm but a LOUD hmmmm, so loud that we now all yell at each other. Luckily, the floor guy came by tonight, and said that we will be done tomorrow! HOORAY!!
Next step, new floors... which will require us to leave for 3 days, while they refinish and stain... FUN FUN FUN! So these are the .... Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm!!! I am ready for the Hmmm to stop. I went to the library today and just sat there enjoying the "quietness." So tonight, as you tuck those kiddos in bed, and listen to the "silence of sleeping" I will cuddle up and listen to the hmmmmmmmm...thankfully for just one more night! I have taken pics....I'll post them tomorrow!
