First thing first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIGITTE!!!!! I can't believe she is already nine years old!!! I am so grateful everyday for your sweetness, sauciness and attitude!! Thank you for being my daughter!
What a week!! On tuesday I got home from work to discover a swimming pool in my kitchen, water was dripping from the droopy ceiling and light fixture over our island. Ugh!!! My biggest worry was we just laid new hardwood floors in the adjoining dining room that had not yet been sealed, yikes. Luckily, the water hadn't spread that far yet. Our toilet in Brigitte's bathroom cracked from the top of the tank all the way to the bottom and from the look of things, it had been pouring out for several hours. One new toilet and several hours worth of clean up later and the bathroom is back in tiptop shape. The kitchen ceiling is just waiting for a little sanding and then texture and paint, and the hardwood floors that were supposed to be finished by now are still waiting for their final finishing touches. I was feeling kinda put out until we watched the news on tuesday night and saw some people in Salt Lake with 6 feet of water in their basements from the heavy rain that afternoon. That sure put things into perspective and helped remind us we are really very lucky, after all it could have been out of the toilet bowl, ick!!!

Happy Birthday Brigette!!!!
Wow I can NOT believe she is nine already! Unbelievable!
I feel your pain on the leak! We found a biggy this week too! TWO actually! Our fridge leaked into the basement and now all the sheetrock has to be replaced in that area and it ruined the hardwood floor underneath it. Not good! AND THEN we found a leak under the kitchen sink (the faucet had been leaking very slowly) and the wood under there was black and pretty much ruined. The worst part was the mold! The joys of home ownership!
Jodi, I'm so sorry about your leaks!! Can you believe the damage a little water can do? Apparently the wicked witch isn't the only one allergic to water!
