Just Simply Holly

It used to be that I looked forward to the weekend.  I loved the lazy mornings and being able to sleep in.  I loved catching up on housework that I hadn’t gotten done during the week, I just loved weekends period.  But that changed a few months ago when I volunteered to help my sister get her new house ready to move into.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining at all about helping my sister, if anything I’ve enjoyed the time with her.  But because I’ve been going up there at least one day on the weekend and sometimes two, it has really cut into my time here at home.

It also seems as if something around here always goes wrong on the weekend.  A few weeks ago our septic system backed up and someone had to be called out.  A week or so before that we woke up to major internet problems and our DSL being down for almost the whole weekend.  This weekend is no exception.  I was getting ready to head up to my sisters and was walking to my room when I got hit on the head with a huge drip of water.  I looked up to see the kitchen ceiling leaking above the refrigerator.  I quick unplugged the fridge and called the hubby to let him know what was going on.  I got to thinking about what part of the house was above the fridge and realized that it was the bathroom, so I went upstairs and turned off the water supply to both the sink and the toilet and went back down stairs to check the ceiling.  It had, for the most part, stopped leaking.  So I knew that I had narrowed it down to one of 2 things that was causing the leak.  I then turned on the water to the toilet and flushed it and went back downstairs to check the ceiling, it still wasn’t leaking.  So I went back upstairs and turned the water to the toilet off and turned the water to the sink on and went back downstairs and we had water leaking again.  I went back up, turned the water of, came back down and the leaking had stopped again.  So, until we can “fix it”, the bathroom sink is now off limits.  We know it’s not the gray water line because I’ve also turned the shower on and that doesn’t cause leaking.  Now I just have to get ready and head up to my sisters.  Have a great day!
