Back to School Downpour
Tuesday night I put Gideon and Daven to bed. I knew they were super tired. I went down to talk to Bridger because I really had not seen him all day. I heard water running. I told Bridger I better go check on it. Daven and Gideon had gotten out of bed. Gideon went into the bathroom and turned on the water and put his feet in the sink which closed the drain. The bathroom flooded. I heard Daven yelling for me but it didn't sound urgent and he always yells to ask me additional questions that are usually silly and I usually tell him I will answer him in the morning. I figured it was the same. The bathroom was flooded the drawers were full of water there was water in the cabinet under the sink and in the entire hall out side the bathroom. It was dripping out the ceiling in the family room on the next level on the floor. We had water pouring, not just dripping, out of our ceiling for 2 hours. It was a mess and we are still recouping. I think I will get a new ceiling. THEN, Saturday after dinner he did it again. I was doing dishes and (I thought) all the kids had gone down to the basement. I turned off the water and still heard water running. Water was pouring out of the ceiling again. I think the damage has been minimalized other than that. I got a lock for their door now and the bathroom door. In addition to that the next day, the toilet on the main level overflowed 2 times. It was running and not filling the tank and over the bowl. I think we have got that under control, too. When it rains, it seems to pour here!
The kids started school last week. I think they are all doing well and enjoying it. Daven started today. Poor Gideon cried when we left Daven at school. I think he missed his big brother. I had to take him to the park to show him being with Mom can be cool.
Bridger is starting to work the kind of hours I anticipated that he would work. He came home after midnight one last night and went into work at 4am next day. It is not fun but at least it was anticipated.
We are postponing swimming to deal with other water issues :)
