Today I planned to mop the kitchen. My dishwasher made certain I would.

I ran the dishwasher after breakfast and a little while ago went to empty it. Not so fast! There was water all the way across the floor to the den (and in the den carpet edge).

I am so glad I bought a carpet cleaning machine at Costco earlier in the year. I just used the machine to get much of the water. Now for the mopping.
