Never a dull moment at the Fisher home! I came home from class today and noticed water running into the street. Wierd, but I wasn't too worried at first. I just figured the neighbors had just watered or maybe something was up with a sprinkler somewhere. (Our dirt has a lot of clay in it, so it doesn't absorb water too well. about 10 minutes of watering is all the lawn can handle at one time). So michael proceeded to show me a huge puddle that was forming on the side of the house... SEE PHOTO!
This is not a puddle - this is a POOL! IT's at least 2 feet deep. A huge sink hole on the side of our house. Michael had left a hose on for what we are assuming is probably a day (maybe 2) - but is it really enough water to nearly FLOOD OUR HOUSE? The whole crawl space was flooded up to about 1 foot below the floor. Luckily we noticed the problem today. OH! And our AC is disabled as well. Good thing it's supposed to storm tonight so we can get some cool air! SERIOUSLY! We really dont' know what the problem is, hopefully (for our bank account's sake) the problem is not our fault and our Landlord's insurance will take care of it. But, with 3 little kids running around, you just don't know what you're going to find.
And yes - I did what any other white trash mother would do and let my kids play in the "disaster kleen-up river" flowing down the street. More pics to come and I'll post as soon as we figure out what happened. It's going to be a LONG night for those two poor workers!

Sorry about the flooding-- Somedays it seems like you will never catch up, something always goes wrong. At least the kids enjoyed it, right! Hopefully, it all goes smoothly and some sort of insurance will cover it. Talk to you soon.
