Mother's Day Memory

So, Mother's Day this year was definitely a memory maker. It was my first mother's day and I had planned one of my favorite dinners and I was hoping to go for a walk after church. But things don't always go as planned! I opened the door into my apartment after church and heard water dripping and as I took Josh to his bedroom, I gushed through a big puddle of water. After I came out from putting Josh down, I found the dishwater full of water and the kitchen sink full of disgusting water. I got all my old towels and cleaned up the floor and waited until Cliff got home from Church. He got home around 5:00 pm, and then, we tried to fix the problem!

Cliff got this cool gun that shoots air into the pipes. We tried that a few times and Cliff got drenched because the water shot back at him. Then the last time we tried, we heard a bang and out of our cupboard came black, mucky, smelly water. We had a mess everywhere. It was awful! After an hour of trying to fix it we finally called the rooter. He worked for an hour and a half and finally fixed it! I kept telling him I was so sorry to make him come on Mother's Day and to tell his wife that I was very sorry! He was very nice to come and work so long. By 9 pm, we had water draining again and by 10 pm, we had bleached everything that had been touched by that gross water!

So instead of enjoying our delicious meal, we ate peanut butter sandwiches, milk, and oranges for our Mother's Day dinner as we sat in an apartment full of soaked up towels, black water, and sink full of muck. Life never brings what we expects, but I guess that is why it is so fun and adventurous! I'm sure we will laugh about this for some time!
