What A Day...

What a day the Lord has made... and I will find a way to rejoice in it! :) It's just been in that kind of day. I stayed in the nursery during Sunday School and Worship today, so that was a little tiring. I had some adult help during SS but was at the mercy of a teenage boy's help during worship. There's Julie Beth, Stella & Elijah. Stella and Elijah are both 18 months... so busy, busy, busy. I left church very tired. The weather doesn't help. And then I get home, and I'm getting settled in... I eat lunch. I feed Will. I feed JB. (These 3 things really happened at the same time). I changed Will's diaper. I straightened up from our wild morning getting out the door. Then I was going to sit down and play with the kiddos and watch some basketball... then I decided to go back into the kitchen because I just kept hearing sounds like our fridge was running, and I thought it was odd. Well, it was. There was water EVERYWHERE at this point. The water line (pipe or whatever) that connects to the fridge to make water and ice had busted. The line from the ground, not the fridge. I called my mom freaking out... because Stephen was still in Decatur with the youth group at this point. She came over, and we were shoveling water outside by a cooler. We eventually found the water key and shut the water off to the house. Got in touch with my landlord and the plumber. Everything got fixed and cleaned up. But if you could just have been a fly on the wall... JB was screaming because she was tired. Will wouldn't stay out of the kitchen. Mom and I were getting soaked. It was just crazy!!! Thank you Lord for my mom and for plumbers... now let's have an uneventful rest of the afternoon, please!!
