This is my last post today...really.

But a pipe just burst in my basement, for the love of all things holy.

I called my neighbor/son's godfather (who didn't initially answer) and my in-laws. They all showed up within 10 minutes. And in about 11 minutes we were shutting off the water, vacuuming, and clearing debris.

Friends and family are miracles. Really.

And I texted my H...who is away...and probably with the OW.

He sent lots of messages, but the one that meant the most to me was "Oh Hon...I know the timing of this is awful."

Yes. Yes, it is.

In the meantime, his mother is looking at me and asking about my health because I've "lost an enormous amount of weight in a very short time."

It took everything in me not to look her in the eye and say, "Your son is being a very, very bad boy right now and making me lose my mind."

I even managed to keep my cool when she told me NOT to bother him on his trip, because why should he worry about this? Really? Let me start a list why he should worry about this.

(sigh)

Thank heavens for friends and family. Seriously.
