my old pipes

first of all, no, i am not refering to anything in my body. yesterday ian woke me up holding his shoe over me which was soaking wet. i figured that one of the kids had brought water in their room and spilled it in ians shoes since the other one was dry and in a differnt place. there was a puddle on the floor so it seemed logical. i did have to go to wal-mart before school to get him another pair of shoes to wear to school (they can't wear flip-flops). so we went on about our day................... last night nikki came and got me and said that someone had to have spilled water again because there was another puddle on the floor and it was in the hall too. (i had to check this out because everyone got the "no eating or drinking anywhere but the table or outside" speech.) not only were there puddles, but the entire closet was soaked and it had spread into the dining area and almost into the kitchen which is through a wall. so, mike is meeting a plummer at the house right now to try to see what we should do. having no money and a 2,000$ deductable (1% of the coverage amount) on our insurance doesn't help either. we are losing our floor which we have already replaced and who knows what else. that is what happens when you buy old houses too. makes me feel better that it is not a new house and this is happening or i would be concerned. i just think the timing sucks on this! my roof is not doing well in the wind right now either, but that is another story. so, wish me luck (yes, the kind cheryl has) and send me some lottery tickets so i will have a chance to win............ just kidding.

ugh beck, that sucks! i hope it's not too expensive :( guess there's an upside to not being able to buy a house here...

btw, is nikki the same grade as ian?

I think Pennington, the guy who does this old house beauty makeover is looking for you. Call him.
