It can sometimes pour. Now that doesn't mean that you're gonna get hurt by some lil' ol' raindrops, but it does mean you can really get upset at being soaked and wet.......
DH had to leave for Norway on Monday (he gets home late tomorrow night hopefully), and had about 4 hours notice.......LOL.....luckily, the undies were washed and the suit had been dry cleaned......I'm goin' with the boy scout motto on this one...."Be Prepared".....those boys ROCK.....
When you're married to your best buddy, and you've known each other since you were 12, you miss that little venting and that understanding hug.....this week, I'm missin' it a lot....LOL.....Since I can't call him in Norway (why would I, it's too expensive to just gripe-and it would just make him feel bad), I sent him an email..... and of course, being the ornery cuss that I am.....I'm sharing it here too!
Things can always be worse people......always.....did I mention my dishwasher pump went KAPOOT on Sunday night? UGH.....normally he would have gotten me a new one immediately, but it was Sunday, and we though we had all week long. I'm not above doing them by hand, so I just resigned myself to it!
But alas, I'm having a pitty party while washing every towel in my house (AGAIN TODAY) that I used to mop up the flood until I got it under control!
Here is the email...enjoy! I know he will have the longest flight of his life on the way home, because he'll surely check his email on his laptop right before he gets on the plane, like always!
When it Rains, It Apparently can Pour too
During tonight's "washing dishes" a pipe under the sink broke, which normally would NOT have been a problem.....but the sink was full as I was washing dishes...I'm bailing the one side, and it's draining from everywehre.....so bleepin' water went everywhere......don't worry, I mopped it up with the towels that were as fresh as ivory spring when I put them away less than 2 hours ago.....but maybe they like the washing machine and I'm doing them a favor.
I mopped it up, turned off the water, and am draining under the sink. By the way, did you know that you can't fit a bucket under the pipe there? No worries that popcorn bowl and the large soup pot came in quite handy.....maybe you'd like to have a bowl this weekend....but alas, I can't wash it, so you'll have to eat it with the gunk brushed out.....
Just so's you know what you'll be doing this weekend.
Replacing the bottom shelf under the sink.
Replacing the pipes under the sink, if I can fix it.
Ordering me a new dishwasher (forget the repair, I'm beyond that now!)
William to UTA at 8 am on Saturday (he still doesn't know where they are supposed to be meeting go figure), for the robotix conference.
Alex basketball game.
Cause I'll be sitting on my big fat round bahookie in the bed with a bag of chocolates and some expensive wine......and possibly watching some sick freak kindof a comedy so I can pretend not to be overwhelmed.
Oh and by the way, I saw a mouse in the front living room this morning, little sucker went whizzing by me when I opened the front door........so pick up some MOUSE KILLER bait on the way home, or I'm going to the shelter to get some nice ferrile cats and turning them but wild all over the house.
Love Ya!
You are duly warned!
Your wife
