Hope everyone's having a great weekend (better than mine at least)!!!
I came home from work Friday night to a flood!
The drain at our back door (which is our main entrance, and is down 4 steps) was clogged up, because it was frozen out at the road. We had about 6-7 inches of water (up to the first step) and it was a couple inches up the door. Once we got inside, the whole hallway and 1/2 the kitchen was flooded, not deep, but a huge puddle that took us about 3 hrs. to clean up. Also, the foundation leaked and the water came into Peter's bedroom, so we had to empty that out and put everything in the garage, including his carpet. I don't think the carpet will be ruined, it's a nylon berber, and the water was just running out of it when we picked it up. The padding will be alright too. We laid it out in the garage to dry. We're going to put it out in the driveway today to help it dry out, since the sun is out. We have Peter's crib in our room, which is a feat in itself!!
The landlord came over and helped DH bail out the water from by the back door, and finally borrowed a sump pump from his brother, so they pumped the water out. This happened once before, but the water didn't get this high.Today we're going to my my mom's to pick up a chest of drawers from her basement for Peter's room. We need more space for his things now, and the rolling carts and changing table aren't cutting it. the problem is, I can't fit everything in there, so I will have to either move the glider, or put the changing table in mom's basement. I really don't want to move the glider, because it's nice to keep him in his room during the night when he wakes up. But the chest, even though it's a small one, I think is too high to use as a changing table. It's higher than a dresser, but lower than a regular adult size chest of drawers.
Anyway, as much as this was a fiasco, it got us to clean stuff out!

OK, gotta go mop the floor with bleach! Catch y'all later!
PS- if you didn't see Jackie's pics on last week's thread, check them out!!

Of course, it's sweet! (Had a little banana too, and drank almost 8 oz. of milk from his sippy!)
Roo is missing 1 front leg completely, and his other front leg is disfigured. He hops around like a KangaRoo! Harry is missing most of his tail and he has a stub for a back leg and is missing some fingers here and there. But he doesn't know that...So I'm not going to tell him.




I hate that.
