Happy Flood

I shouldn't be posting. All of the cherubs will be up in 7 seconds and I have breakfast to make and, and, and. Ok. So anyway, I am just now starting to feel a little lighter about the flood of last week. Our sewage pipes are being overtaken by tree roots and our basement totally flooded. UGH. The carpet was ripped out and Ode to a Peeing Cat filled the air. I am talking a mushroom cloud of catpee smell hovered over our house. I am trying to find that silver lining. It does smell much better now that the carpet is gone. We have decided to stain the floor, toss a bunch of rugs down and deal with it. Oh, and Mr. Vacuum and I will not be dancing downstairs like we used to.

What is it with animals and urine? I'm sure the basement will look great!

I knew that you Erin along with Richard would feel my pain! We could do some really fun stuff to the floor. You are right.

Depends on what kind of cloud will be hanging over your house.
