The Epic Flood of '09

So I am sure many of you (okay probably like 2 people but a girl can dream) wondered where I have been. We had a pipe burst at 2 AM Saturday morning. (Friday night) Squeak wakes to nurse at 1 AM every night so I got up then and brought her to bed with me. She nursed for about a half hour and then we both fell asleep. She wiggled at 2 and I woke enough to hear a weird whooshing noise. I figured my MIL had done something to the AC unit to make it be super noisy but I got up to check and as soon as I hit the main hall I stepped in a few inches of water.




I figured the toilet had gotten stuck and went into the bathroom and discovered that nope the toilet was fine. I opened the cupboard under the sink and got soaked. Boy was it COLD!!! I luckily am not a complete airhead and knew how to shut off the water so I did that.



I called the Hubs at work and he said "Lay down some towels and I'll fix it in the morning." HAHAHA!! I don't think he realized how bad it was. So I called my Brother-in-law and the apartment super and we moved all the furniture in the water out of it, and used a shop vac on the rest of the water. It was a mess. We had to rip up the carpet in the hall, the living room, and Bug's room. Bleck!! So we slept upstairs with the BIL for a couple nights. We got the new carpet in today so we are back in business. Now to pack for the move, lol!! Missed everyone!

  1. Glad you had a reason to be up in the middle of the night.

  2. Me too. Never have I been so thankful for the 1 AM feeding. Things could have been a lot worse had I not woken up!

We love comments! We are happy to answer questions, join in debate and conversation, or just say hi. All we ask is for respect. Respect us and others. Keep it civil. Obviously we aren't afraid of cussing but we don't like anyone degraded or invalidated.

We also know we make mistakes. Feel free to call us out. You can't improve things that need it if you aren't aware of it.
