Crash and Burn

I made it about four days when I broke down and had a soda. I couldn't take it anymore. I had a thirty minute period where Charlie flooded the bathroom upstairs (by over stuffing the toilet) and I had water in my foyer underneath it. Just after that I managed to shatter the glass on the front of my stove while trying to put the door back on. The door came off when I accidentally pulled on it trying to slide it out and clean behind it. The lesson learned is never clean. It was quite a moment. I thought I was going to lose my mind. But after my soda I was able to laugh. So I didn't make it 30 days, but I really don't care. After everything was said and done, I was able to clean up the water (fortunately no lasting damage) and I got a beautiful new stove. I was out the money, but oh well, that's what it's for, isn't it. Besides, this is the first time in my life that I had an emergency fund and it felt nice!

  1. Wow! What a day! But congrats on the new stove. I want a gas stove, but just can't justify it. Maybe I should break the glass "accidently." I loved seeing your new post. I actually laughed when I pictured Charlie doing that, although I'm sure it was far from funny at the time. I love seeing him get a little mischievous though. I have been a total loaf about posting on my blog ever since I committed to blog with you every day. Go figure.
