I have so much to recap on but first things first I’ll start with the events of this morning.
I'm in the shower enjoying my 10 minutes of alone time I'll get all day. As I’m in there I'm listening to Logan crying and banging on the door because he can’t get to me. Then over his crying I hear Alexa start to shout something, although I can't possibly hear or understand her over the sound of the water, the fan going, and of course Logan’s crying and banging.
She’s shouting something about water dripping from holes so I figure I better let her in to find out what she’s saying. She opens the door and the following conversation proceeds:
Alexa: “Mom there’s water dripping out of the holes of “
Me: “what? what fan? where? what are you talking about”
Alexa: “You know, the fan in the ceiling about the carpet and hard floor?”
Me: “In the living room?”
Alexa: “Yep and its dripping on the carpet and the hard floor”
Me: (Still not believing her) “You mean Logan was drooling or spilled his sippy cup and the floor and carpet are wet?”
Alexa: “No its falling on me from the holes in the fan”
Me: “Yeah okay, I’ll check in a minute” (Totally not believing her & assuming she just stepped on her brother’s spill"
So I shut the shower off & begin to dry off while Logan plays with everything in the bathroom & Alexa says to me as she runs downstairs “the doorbell rang I’ll go get it.”
I dry off, scoop Logan up while holding my towel on me and proceed downstairs. Alexa has answered the door and let her friend in to ask me if she can go play with him. Although it is about 11:58 at this point & lunch should be made & eaten I figure its better than letting her friend see me in my towel and I say sure. I round the corner of the steps and before me is the living room. Its at this point I went into panic mode. There is indeed a line of water about a yard stick long dripping from my ceiling onto all the toys & the rug & the hardwood floors. FABULOUS! I put Logan down (who immediately starts crying) I run to get the phone realizing Alexa’s standing paralyzed by the door because 4 out of our swarm of moths have invaded our house and are blocking her path to play with her friend. I shoo her out the garage door, pick Logan back up, locate the phone and call Micah telling him that although I know he said he’d be busy at work and not make it home for lunch he needed to come home NOW because water was coming into our living room.
I sure hope the rest of this day gets better than the beginning has. Welcome home to me I guess!
