What A Way to Start the Week!

This morning I walked downstairs with my laundry basket brimming over with dirty clothes, ready to start the day with the fresh scent of Tide (I love that Febreeze scented stuff) only to open the laundry room door and step into an inch of dirty, debris filled water.

The basket of clothing that I had dumped on the floor the night before, was seeped in lint filled water and all I could do was let a Fantastic Mr. Fox expletive like "what the cuss?"  (Which happens to be my kids' new favorite saying--fodder for another post.)

Suffice it to say, this is no way to start your day.  I had not even had my morning cup of coffee!  Cue the violins.......

So after using nearly a dozen towels to sop up the mess, I got on the horn in search of someone to snake the drain.

This is part of my mess--yuck!

Thankfully I found an inexpensive plumber (yes, I realize that is an oxymoron and if you want to know his name, you'll need to leave a comment....) who could come out  later this afternoon--there was no way I was going to skip my morning nail appointment (I leave for Spain in 4 days so the dirty duds could wait).   Yes, I have priorities!

Somehow whining about it on my blog is making me feel better.  Let's just hope that the rest of my week gets better.  Actually, I know it will--did I mention I leave for Spain in 4 days (sans kiddies?).
