Then it was off to finish up our volleyball season. They started the tournament at 1:00, and we had to leave at 4:00 for an awards banquet for Andy's clinic. We played two games, and had a 1-1 record so far. We went in as the #2 seed, with a 5-2 record. We usually lose our first or second game and then play and play until the championship game.....so I don't know how the rest of the team did, but we had a nice time at the awards banquet.
But when we got home there was a "surprise" waiting for us - and not a happy one, either. Remember a few days ago when we were having plumbing problems?? We thought they were fixed........note the word "thought."
We came home to a FLOODED basement. Apparently one of the pipes sprouted a leak and dumped 13-15 gallons of water into our basement. FUN!! We had a wet-dry vac and a carpet shampooer, so we sucked the water out of the carpet until about 11:30. We had a few fans going, so the carpeting is beginning to dry. It does smell musty, so I am hoping that as the water dries, the smell will go -- otherwise I may need to do more real shampooing down there....
The joys of home ownership!!
Cute story about Alex: While we were at the banquet, Cheryl (Andy's aide) came over to watch him. She said that they had a GREAT time reading, playing, and having fun. She said that he was fine until about 8:50. He came out of his room, walked into the living room, pointed to the door and started BALLING!!! Cheryl changed him into his pajamas, and rocked him to sleep, and he was out. We got home about 5 minutes after he went to bed - - and he was out. We were so thankful that Cheryl was able to watch him - she is one of the people we feel comfortable with, and Alex isn't too shy around. Although Andy didn't win anything, it was a nice time.
