The house curse comes alive

"Water, Mommy?"
"Water, Daddy?"
These words coming from my son would be cute, if we were at the pool and not looking at the water flooding half of our bottom floor. We started a load of laundry as we walked out the door and came home to a flood. The kitchen, the dining room, and two hallways, vinyl and hardwood, completely covered in water.
Stanley Steemer is still tearing up the flooring and putting up plastic cover and fans and dehumidifiers. For the next three days. The floors were brand new and part of the reason we bought the house - no need to mess with floors. Ha. Ha. Ha.
Thank God our belongings were spared. Everything was still in boxes and it helped protect them. Thank God the damage wasn't further. Thank God our washer and dryer is on the bottom floor.
But seriously. How is my list going to get any shorter?
OK, here's one. Brian called the Army yesterday and told them he wasn't going to Airborne school on Thursday. Good timing. =) Hallelujah!
