What a Day!

Well...I'm off from work for 9 big days!!! Whoooooohoooo!!!  So today I went to help my mom do some finishing touches on her kitchen remodel.  Well...it was a slow start to say the least. Can't find this...where is that...you know the drill.... oh yeah where is the drill by the way...LOL  Anyway finished putting knobs on the drawers, the carpet cleaners finally made it over and carpets look pretty good now :-)  Just as the carpet cleaners were leaving the water meter man knocks on the door and tell us that the meter is running a mile a minute and there is a serious leak somewhere and there had been over 27,000 gallons of water used since the last reading... WHAT THE HECK!!!  OMG that's enough water for a 20' x 40' in ground swimming pool!!  There NO water standing anywhere around the house other than a small puddle in the driveway.  My uncle looked under the house and NO water leaking anywhere.  So where is this water coming from and going too. Not to mention the fact that it has rained most everyday for the last 2 weeks and even with that there was no water standing.  I don't get it.  So we had to start calling plumbers which there was not one in our town that was available.  What does everyone have a plugged up toilet or something in this town???!!!  So then we went out to my mom's other house to get the insurance policy that came with the house when she bought it but of course they don't cover if it's something from the house to the meter UGH.  Well..then it's lunch time so we run to McDonald's down the road and were just gonna get Happy meals cuz they are easy. We got 3 Happy meals and it was over $12 freaking bucks.. What the heck! And little did we know that you only get 5 fries with a Happy meal now.  When my mom opened the box on our way out of the drive thru and saw that she blew her stack and said "Go Back...I'm not paying almost $13 for this". So I pull up to the front and she snatches up the 3 Happy meals and the teaspoon of coke they gave us and marches right in and lets them know she's not being ripped off.  LOL I wish I had filmed it cuz she was so funny snatching up the stuff and getting out of my little 2 seater car.  I started rolling laughing.  OMG we laughed all afternoon about that incident.  Thanks mom for making my day :-)  We did however finally finish the trim on the cabinets.  But still don't know where the water is going or coming from...it's a mystery that has yet to be solved.
