The Flood...

I was hanging out with my boyfriend contemplating my next blog, two in one day, because I feel I have been neglecting it so. I couldn't think of anything really interesting to write about until....

We were just sitting in my bedroom when I think I hear someone taking a show. I think to myself, "Hmm that's strange, I thought everyone had gone to sleep, and its like 12am". Well I was correct on that one. I walked into the bathroom to find the floor mats floating on top of a good inch of water that was still quickly pouring from our toilet. Awesome! Best night ever right? Well it just got better after that. We look at our newly pergoed floors (the snap into place wood flooring that "floats"). They couldn't have thought of a better word for those floors, because now that is what our flooring in the hall way is doing. Floating on toilet bowl water. You walk on it and you hear the squish skwash of the water under neath it. I'm freaking out at this point. My mom is going to be so upset. New flooring and water. Bad combo. The floors will be ruined. I wake her up and she freaks out as expected. To my surprise not upset with me at all, but with my little brother.

Apparently our toilet has been having problems for a while now. Problems that my little brother knows about. He knows that if he hears the toilet running after he uses it, that he's supposed to jiggle the handle to make it stop. Well apparently he didn't, because it over flowed the whole bathroom. I feel bad for the poor kid. He's probably in trouble now.

Anyway though; my mother and I both think of course we will have to pull up that section of the flooring, let it dry out and place it in again. My mother also felt it imperative to get to sleep a.s.a.p., and found it my job to stay up until my step-father came home to explain the situation to him. I figured he would freak out as well, but no. He was as cool as a cucumber. He thinks that the floors will magically dry themselves out. Well, have fun with that one. Its out of my hands now.

And that is the end of the late night flood story :]
