Water, water everywhere...

A couple of days ago we noticed that we had a slow but steady drip of water under our bathroom sink. You know, where you don't want water to be...

 Our wonderful brother-in-law came down to look at it for us and as he touched the hose there was a pop and hot water started to spray everywhere! It is a mess and has leaked down stairs in the laundry room. Which means that the next day or so will be spent cleaning up water and everything that got wet and drying it out. But there are some good things to come out of it all. 

1) I now know where the main water shut off valve is. 

2) We know that all our water valves, other than the main one, are corroded open. Why is this a good thing? Because we now know we need to get that fixed and didn't have to find out while dealing with a busted pipe or worse. 

3) We've learned that Evie can keep a cool head during a crisis...


I've also learned it's not fun for someone with OCD to be stuck in a house with no water.

Yikes!

Wet and soggy-not my favorite thing to deal with as a mommy. I hope things dry quickly over there!
