Help??!! My Water Heater is Broken??

((Update))Well, for the last several hours, I have had to remove half the floorboards in the family room due flooding. I don't know how many know the pain of having put in laminate floorboards throughout 1400 square foot of house before (seriously it took me about 5 months) , but I do. And the moment it dawned on me that I would have to re-tear out floorboards and most likely be the one having to put them down again, a certain...how to describe it.....pain just tore through my gut and hasn't quite left yet. If I were a crier, I would certainly be in tears. In fact, I would love to be in tears as it would be a welcome release. Instead, I have been laughing hysterically, staring vacantly at the rain outside, and drinking red wine. Seems silly I suppose. It's not like someone died. I think I'm just tired. It's been a busy week. I have been having a good chuckle with Chris though. I told him that I am enjoying the fact that we are sharing (again) one of those disastrous life experiences that we get to talk about in the future when it's actually really funny, whilst hating the whole thing now. Tomorrow I wake up early to take a shower at the gym before I head to a class at 8:30. Mmmm life, don't talk to me about life.




And seems to be leaking in around the fireplace and flooding the laminate floorboards inside the house. Who am I supposed to call?????? Help me!

Oh Miki, that just sucks! There is nothing fun about house problems. Believe me, the list of little repairs I need to do around our house is a very long one and I haven't even had anything catastrophic like this since one of our outlets started smoking a couple of years ago.

Hey, at least you get to run this weekend. Skyline Ridge baby!

The initial shock is over and we have hope of hot water by Wednesday night. Until then, I am showering at the gym in the morning listening to the conversations/gossip of self important business woman as they run around grooming themselves. I swear, it's maddening.

Did my comment sound catty? I'm embarrassed. Self important business women of the world getting groomed whilst gossiping about co-workers and talking shop, forgive me.
