Today's Ten on Tuesday topic is Ten Things on Your To-Do List. Great topic but I can't make myself type one up. There are just too many things to do. And yesterday a few more things got added to my list.
The toilet in one of the upstairs bathrooms has apparently been leaking for a long time. The freezing temperatures are actually a blessing for us because it allowed us to see that there is a problem.
While I am upset about this and I'm not sure how much it will cost us to fix the damage, I am thankful that...
- it's not something that will keep my brothers from visiting over Christmas
- it's something that we can repair
- even though my house is "broken," I do have a house to keep me and my family warm and dry.
I've been a little down about this but I'm going to try to snap myself out of this funk. I'll put some Christmas music on and finish decorating the family room. I will feel better having something done and it's dry in there. :)



Bummer about the bathroom. Hopefully it's not terribly expensive or complicated.

that's a bummer, we found where our house leaks after the floods last year.

That's one thing about owning a house, something breaks when you least expect it! Sorry about your bathroom but enjoy your visit with your brother. Merry Christmas.
