Midday Wednesday, Kristen told me that she needed to go pee-pee. So I told her to go ahead and go in her bathroom. She was gone for a few minutes and came back in and then left again. Next thing I know she is flying into my bathroom telling me that something is leaking! I thought oh no biggie just the sink or something! Oh NO...her entire bathroom floor, toilet and sink space, was covered with water half way up the baseboards...my carpet in the hallway was beginning to get soaked...aaaaahhhh! I couldn't believe it, the toilet was overflowing like a waterfall, no joke, around the entire rim! I looked into the toilet and saw that 2/3rds of a new toilet paper roll was blocking the water from going down. My girl is known for this, we call it toilet paper stuffing! I finally got the toilet to stop running. In a panic I tried to throw every towel down to sop up the water...it wasn't working. There was so much water that the towels were just sinking to the bottom of the bathroom pool...it was pathetic. So i called Paul because I had no idea what to do to get all the water up..he's so SMART...he said SHOP VAC..and I hung up the phone. I don't think I even said goodbye. I got the shop vac and started vacuuming up the water...genius..pure genuis, my Paul is.
While I was vacuuming up the water, Austin somehow fell onto the vacuum and got his 1st black eye! Through lots of tears, tons of water we got through the craziness of the flood.
