Right now all has come to a screetching halt at my house. But I am soooo very thankfull that it is this weekend and not next weekend. All was well, got up drank my coffee, didn't shower, why bother I was going to do some massive cleaning and get all grimmy and sweaty so I'd shower afterwards, right. I was cleaning doing the laundry, wrapping gifts, helping the cable guy, I didn't want him climbing around my village and didn't want to move it. The weather is abnormally warm so the kids are all outside playing, getting dirty. And did I mention I haven't showered yet????? We are planning on taking the In-laws out for dinner, need to get some baking done, truffle done, kiss cookies started peanut butter balls done, and bishops bread to go. I'm folding laundry and I'm so proud of myself, I never get it all done and hardly ever fold any of it. I go down stairs to change loads only 2 more to do, on average with the 4 of us we can do 10-14 on the weekend (two hoodies can be a load) I hear water running and think nothing of it at first, then I think it really doesn't sound right the dishwaher is done running and the sumppump sounds different, have I mentioned I haven't taken a shower yet????? Look over and the hot water heater is spuing water everywhere. Ok I'm the handy one in the house, but there are two things I don't mess with plumbing and electricity, and this is one of them. And wouldn't you know it not male was home in our neighborhood, they were all out Christmas shopping just like mine. I couldn't get the water to the heater to turn off the valve was stuck, and I even had Drew try it and as my FIL says if he can't get it to turn it ain't turning. Drew amazes doctors with how strong he is. well now we have no water I had to turn the main off and DH tried to fix the leak and broke something and now we are waiting for a new hot water heater to be installed sometime tomorrow afternoon. Have I mentioned I still haven't showered?????

But after all that I am very greatfull that it all happened this weekend and not next weekend.

I hate that unshowered feeling...I really hope they were able to install it the next day. (I try not to touch plumbing things either)
