Mother's Day was wonderful and unique.
Shelly surprised me with not one, but two, necklaces. Both from Re.d Enve.lope. One of our favorite sites.
I surprised her with a ring that has Riley's birthstone (Emerald).
We had a wonderful brunch on Sunday with her family. I spent time on Saturday with my Mom, Aunt and cousins.
It was a great weekend, until, the big Mother's Day Flood.
Sunday night, 5:30 pm, I go into the Kitchen, and the ENTIRE kitchen is flooded. There was water under the cupboards, stove, fridge, dishwasher, EVERY WHERE. our Washing Machine hose slipped out of it's drain and ran through an entire cycle spewing bleach water into our kitchen. Nice! We spent more than an hour soaking and mopping up water. Part of our Pergo floor in the kitchen is now coming up. And, the water ran through a hole under the fridge (where the water pipe connects to the fridge) and drained into the new sheet rock and insulation in the basement that is being finished. Neat! We're not sure yet if they're going to have to redo the work they just finished or not. I guess we'll find out today or tomorrow, whenever the contractor's decide to show up again. We haven't yet decided if we're turning in an insurance claim or not. We're waiting to see how bad the kitchen floor is once it's all dry.
So, after an hour of mopping and sopping, and over a dozen bath towels, we relaxed while watching the Utah J.azz win game four against Gold.en State. Yeah Jazz!!!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Sorry about the flood !! What is that about?! I can't believe it ruined your floor.
I hope everything works out with the contractor and your insurance if you decide to go that route. :(

Nice job on the gifts! I try to be sentimental - but it just doesn't come off as well as you do it!
Floods are a great way to get your floors clean! Just kidding. Once B left the laundry room sink on for about 5 hours. Yeah - there was a lot of swearing that day. I can't believe you are down to 5 days!!! My fingers and toes are crossed for everyone!

My moms name is Jeani, or she may be going by Dolla Jean. She works both hospitals and is a NNP ( neo natal Nurse practitioner.
One think I ask of you, is to not tell her my blog address. If my moms starts reading my blog, I am going to have to start censoring my words!!!:)
I LOVE re.d envelope!! The necklaces are great! And the ring too. Flood, not so good. That is the last thing you need to deal with now!
5 more sleeps....
PS to my comment: I wanted to add that I think it is so cool that on the weekend I am going to bury my mother you two are welcoming a new life into the world. It actually gives me comfort and reminds me that life keeps going forward. I will think of you often and I know the thought of baby Riley being in the world will bring lots of smiles to my face.
Sorry to hear about the big flood - we'd like to list you on our blogroll (www.familypride.org/blog) - let me know if that's okay. david.jacques@familypride.org is my email :-)
