The text I got from Elliott earlier, "the poop never ends!". I glanced down at it while scribbling down random facts on my heart notes during physio, and tried to figure out what the baby or the dog had done now! Amazingly enough they were both innocent, that rarely happens. Apparently our shower was backing up in the laundry room. I do not understand plumbing, so have no idea of how this could happen, but apparently it can. Even more interesting is that the washing machine, toilet, sinks and everything else will drain perfectly fine, so I thought it'd be a good idea to stick Alice in the bathtub as Elliott headed off to class. I should never come up with any bright ideas...... Right as I pulled the drain on the tub, the dog took off running, I figured she had chewed something up and didn't want yelled at about it... Nope, she was investigating the laundry room, where the oatmeal filled water was now gathering!!!!! ARGH, the fluids never end!!!!!! So, I rush to the laundry room, and stick my foot into my rain boots, and try to hurriedly mop the water up, no go, the mop is saturated from Elliott's previous cleaning job. This entire time Alice is screaming and crawling around the house naked as a jaybird while I try to figure out how to get the water to not leave the laundry room. I hear the neighbor's car door, and run to see if she can watch baby while I do some damage control. She very sweetly agrees, and I frantically run around to look for some more towels. I find them in a pile on the couch, we had just finished washing all of them! Poor towels, they may never be the same. Luckily our laundry room opens outdoors, so I held the door open and threw wet towels out there.
I booked a plumber for tomorrow, I'm hoping the news won't be terrible, but I never want to try to clean the laundry room again, oh and to continue with the title of this blog post, Alice has left us 4 lovely presents tonight, one of them during the writing of this post! It really does never end!
I still have to review the Physio heart lectures, and Neuro from last week! This is going to be a long evening, though theoretically the baby should go to sleep sometime soon....
