Well the Bad Continues

The pipe hubby glued ended up holding but now the other one is shooting out water (there are two going to the water softener) so hubby got sprayed this morning with ice cold water. Luckily last night we went to H.ome De.pot and bought a wet/dry shop vac, which I put together myself and used to suck up all the water. We're concerned that it's something more serious so we're just going to go the plumber route and hopefully we can get some quotes from different companies and it won't be too much! Oh and that wonderful garbage can that I placed to catch all the dripping water just so happened to have a leak in the bottom, fabulous!

My other issue is that I actually called my best friend yesterday and she asked if her and Baby V could come down today and maybe we could go get lunch and hang out (which would totally count for my girlfriend time 2-3 times per month so I was excited that I was keeping to my resolutions so well), but now all this is going on! I think I'm still going to have her come because I don't want to complain too much about this since it was her and her gracious husband that let us live in this house for free while we were in the process of buying it. I feel like I don't want to make her feel bad because something happened to the house they sold us, when in all reality there is nothing they could have known about, it is just an unfortunate event.

This all leads to the reason that I'm up at 6:20am this morning when all week I've had the luxury of sleeping in. I need to get the house looking somewhat presentable. R got the crib so that's in the middle of the entry way and needs to be moved. I have some plastering to do in Little Man's room, luckily my mom offered to keep him until Sunday so we would have all tomorrow to work and get stuff done. There are tons of Christmas decorations that still need to be put away, and the tree still needs taken out. I'll be working on putting the decorations away and R will get the tree out tonight or tomorrow. Oh and I'm in charge of calling plumbers using a wonderful script that my husband will be e-mailing me shortly because I refuse to be one of those girls that calls up a repairman and has no idea what I'm talking about. I hate going in car places for that same reason, even though, I know more about cars that most girls. Well and now I know more about water and pipes that most girls probably care to know too.

One more quick point.......can I just say that I don't know how single woman live in houses and do this by themselves? I would be scared to death of something going wrong and then if something did go wrong I would have no idea how to fix it. I give them a lot of credit and admire them a great deal! Well I'm off to shower so I can get a great deal accomplished today!
