The Marsh we call: Living Room
First of all I am going to forewarn you that this post is loaded with bad luck that I've had in the last 24 hours. And second I want to be sure to state that no matter how stressful my life has been in the last 24 hours -- I realize that it does not compare to those living at the bottom of a lake we call Mississippi and Louisiana.That being said....
Timeline of Tuesday/Today:
4:00 pm - Eric calls to tell me that the condo is under 2" of water. Another pipe burst and no one was home to catch it.
4:30pm - I left for work not realizing the damage he was actually talking about
5:00pm - I walked in on Eric, his brother, our property manager, and our dog all wading in 2" of water. It was wall to wall. WALL TO WALL!!
5:15pm - Walk the dog and try not to cry. Cry on Eric's behalf because it's was mostly all of his stuff that was sitting in water and for the fact that my well prepared test day was drown.
5:30pm - 6:40pm - I sucked up water.
6:40pm - 7:30pm - Went to the school to last minute study for the test.
7:30pm - 8:00pm - Took A&P test. I think I passed but altogether my brain was in the marsh we once called the living room.
8:30pm - 11:30pm - I sucked up water.
12am - I spent the night at Holly's
5:40am - I woke up to the happy sounds of my baby crying and the Fuzzy Turkey puking. Ah...life at Holly's! It's nice to be back if only for a night. Ooohh and then Aveda Shampoo....
8:00am - rear ended car at intersection in rush hour traffic.
11:30am - got this picture in my email of aforementioned baby. This made me smile so big I almost forgot that I'm sittin at work with the only dry clothes I own.
AT LEAST MY HAIR SMELLS GOOD!!

Well they say that these things happen in threes --- so with pipe #1, pipe #2, and the rear ending --- I'd say your due for some good times. Hang in there!
ExactlY! So heads up! It will get better and I hate to say it...but it could have been worse!
Smooches!
Okay, I'll be the one to give you some sympathy!! :) (joking, Marissa and Kaycee!!) You poor thing! I'm so sorry about the marsh but even more about the rear-ending! That SUCKS!!!!
Oh it gets worse!
Thanks Marissa & Jess. Kaycee - I'd like some sympathy. You suck.
