What a Friday the 13th!

Technically this all didn't happen on Friday the 13th but between the 11th and 14th. Here is what has been happening around our house.

I woke up this morning at 3am because I heard a puking kid and RAN to Carley’s room. I managed to grab her and run her to the bathroom but she was done by the time we reached the toilet leaving a wake of vomit behind us... including in the middle of the mirror on the bathroom door that proceeded to drip down into a puddle on the floor. She was so covered that I had to shower her. Walt stipped the sheets and most of what was hit. What a mess. We have tickets to California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco today. Walt is still taking Josh and our niece, Kiele, while Carley and I stay at home. Carley just had the stomach flu two weeks ago when I headed to Colorado. Not sure what it is this time because she seems pretty chipper (no temperature) yet continues to puke.

So the stomach flu is just one thing added to what’s already been happening in the house.

Wednesday our main drain line under the house plugged again. It happens often. Walt tried to clear it but found (or created) a hole in the pipe. We couldn't do dishes or wash laundry until the hole was fixed because the water would run out under the house. Walt patched the hole last night and I ran the dishwasher before we went to bed. After the puking incident, I ran the sheets in the wash. Turns out that the line is still plugged so now the garage sink is full of water.

Also, last night Josh was getting ready to shower in my bathroom. Walt and I heard a big bang so Walt went to investigate. Turns out Josh had been hanging upside down from the edge of my pedestal sink “doing exercises” and completely ripped the sink off the wall. Super funny and thankfully he wasn’t hurt. Walt put it back in place but never checked the plumbing. This morning Walt was running the sink water to warm it up but he hadn’t noticed the stopper was down... sink filled up... he went to drain it and realized that the plumbing isn’t attached and all the water was going to run onto the floor.

Now he’s off to get Kiele for the trip today (will be back before he leaves) and I’m in a house with a puking kid, a kitchen I can’t use the sink in, a garage sink full of water and a broken sink full of water in my bathroom. I’m scared to touch anything! At least we’re all still laughing about it.
