Emotional Breakdown
We came home from our family vacation a few days ago to a flooded basement. The outlet that the water softener and our downstairs freezer was plugged in to shorted out, causing the water softener to keep filling and never distribute water. I also lost about $200 in groceries from the freezer. The dishwasher was also not working. We pulled out the carpet, and had it re-installed (thankfully it only effected the storage room and hall), called a repairman for the dishwasher (the control panel is broken), had an electrician replace the outlet, and fixed the water softener. My mom also informed me today that she has a brain tumor. I was handling things well until Taylor decided to stick something up her nose just as my visiting teachers came to the door. One of them ran home for a bulb syringe and all three of us held Taylor down while I sucked it out (a tic tac). Then I just sat there and bawled in front of my visiting teachers (who ended up bringing us dinner) and the dishwasher repairman (who I hope has a wife). I would like to blame it all on pregnancy, but I think I am just overdone. I am so thankful for the tender mercies that come in to my life at just the right times, and hope I will someday look back on all this and laugh...just not today!
