Flood Fun
The child alerts me the recycle bin is atrocious so I say its time to soak it in the tub. I ask her to start the water and she says she'll forget and it will overflow. So I say with all confidance I'll remind her to turn it off. Awhile later Mike asks what that noise is upstairs. So yah, half the upstairs was flooded. There are so many things wrong with that experience. Mostly the fact the child was playing her DS downstairs in the living room instead of next to the tub. I do have to say the evening of sopping up water with towels and a shop vac was kind of fun in a kooky way. I mean, that how life is. Mistakes are stupid, but we all band together and clean it up. We learn to be more responsible or to pay attention. It was nice to take a break from stress and working to stand on a wet towel for a couple hours. Doing yoga moves and dancing around with the dog and throwing towels back and forth and talking about how in a week we'll be in Hawaii! And after all that the recycle bin has yet to be cleaned, outside this time and with a hose.
