and it's only Thursday

I always construct the most elaborate blog posts in my head. But time is precious so they usually don't get beyond the walls of my brain. I had all planned a brilliant post about busyness and how we as a culture are much too busy. But alas, it's only Thursday and already we've had a few pints of chaos in our week.

Monday morning I'm at a store when I suddenly hear Sunder scream shrilly. I turn to see her fingers are stuck in the hinge side of the door. We had to leave the store immediately and it took the rest of the morning to calm her. You could see the imprint of the door on her little fingers and they were swollen. Ugh! Then yesterday our upstairs toilet flooded. It leaked through and flooded our basement. I don't want to think about how much water damage is done. Several hours later the ceiling in our basement caved and a ton more water that had been accumulating came bursting through. Hoping the remainder of the week is a bit calmer. But needless to say, my post on busyness and too much chaos in our lives will just have to wait.

By the way, Sunder's hand is still tender, but doing much better.

I so know what you mean about the wonderful post that never leave the brain. So sorry to hear about Sunders finges and the water damage. Happy 3 months together. It feels like we have been together forever. Time to get the video to you for editing I don't want it to sit in the camera and I don't know if I can do it. let me know how your doing on time.

So sorry about your week. When I read about your toilet flooding and leaking in to the basement--it brought back wonderful memories of only a month ago when Tillie flooded the bathroom and it all went down into Henry's bedroom, directly below the bathroom, onto his bed and in his light fixture. He asked if it was yellow because it was pee, and we told him "no". Yuck. But, I am so grateful that our ceiling didn't collapse--that is far worse. Good luck with the fix.
