So, last night was going along fairly well, other than a very whiney Toby because of a good little cold he's got going. Why our daughter wanted a cold push-up for dessert when it's 2 degrees outside is beyond me, but she actually saved us!!
Grady went out to the garage around 7:15p and it was filled with water that was still pouring out of a burst pipe. He ran and turned off our main water...but it had done it's damage. It was a pipe we didn't even know that we had...behind a bunch of shelving. We actually were pretty lucky that it didn't ruin anything major and if it had cracked much further back it would have started to flood our downstairs storage room. Grady opened the garage and our entire garage and driveway turned into a skating rink.
My mom and step-dad came over to help and brought clean water, which was great. All was well, until my step-dad misjudged how many steps were left on our stairs and fell down. He seemed alright, but as the night progressed he starting limping and when we talked to him this morning, it was double the size it's supposed to be.
Grady was able to repair the pipes and all was good!!
That was until this morning when Grady went to jump in the shower and we had no hot water!!!
Since we just got a new hot water heater in October, it was under warranty and they were able to come out by Noon and fix it.
My good friend Angela was sweet enough to let me come over and shower at her house in the mean time.
What a crazy day....glad all is better now!! I guess when people say things happen in three's...we got them all done at the same time...pipe burst, injured knee and no hot water.
Let's just hope nothing else comes up...

Oh my gosh. Maybe you should just stay home and lock the doors because your luck doesn't sound too great right now. Of course, all of this stuff happened at home so nevermind. How stressul! But hopefully one of those things you'll laugh about later, right?
