Water, Water, Everywhere

Our washing machine had been acting up but Rock was able to fix it so that we could continue to do laundry. But guess what? It decided to act up again. And I just had to decide to throw in a load late last night. And then forget to go downstairs to throw it in the dryer before bed. And then woke up this morning, walked downstairs, and noticed that the carpet was a different color. Hmmmmm...that's odd. I walk over to the discolored carpet and all of a sudden there is a puddle of water around feet. I then realize I hear the sound of water in the laundry room. The washing machine was still filling up with water-and had been for 10 hours. The laundry room, closet, bathroom, classroom and half of the main area in the basement is flooded. Sorry, Rock. Looks like we'll need a new washing machine after all. And new carpet.
So why am I sitting here on the computer and not cleaning it up? Because I'm drinking an energy drink and pondering on how my other plans for today are out the window. C'mon, kids! Grab a bucket!
