The Water Problem

We noticed the other night that there was a wet spot on the carpet. At first, we thought maybe one of us had spilled water and the carpet was just wet. Then I woke up and more of the carpet was wet, the was water on the bathroom counter as well. I had a slight migraine, so I took some meds, called out from work, and decided to go back to sleep before I called maintenance since I knew there would be no sleep once I called them, and I had to stop this migraine before it turned into a full fledged, throwing up, migraine.

It turns out there was some pipe leaking on the third floor. That somehow just ended up all the way in our apartment without anyone on the second or third floor noticing. This is what we have lived with for a few days. Now, we are just waiting for maintenance to return and fix up the water marks, missing paint, and padding under the carpet.

Take a look at it. The carpet just is getting fixed now, I've been promised repairs will be done by 5 pm today (over a week later).

The End of the Year

Things have been SO crazy lately. I have been neglecting the blog, sorry all. I'll share some highs and lows for the week.


Highs:

1. My mom sent me a box of cereal. This has turned out to be one of the best gifts for right now. It is comfort food...
2. My 6th graders are practicing for GRADUATION! So exciting. They are so sweet lately.
3. My final meeting for the department for the year is tomorrow and they will FEED us!


Lows:
1. The hubs is working a lot, which is kinda a high because more work = more $$
2. I've had a headache off and on, since Sunday... creeping into a migraine...

Impromptu Get Together

This weekend changed from a very relaxing do-nothing kind of weekend to the best kind ever! Full of friends and family and lots of people cramming into our small apartment. I love weekends like this where I get to hang out with family and friends. There have been a lot of things happening, 1 to get prepped, and 2 to just get things done around the house. I decided the best way to do this, is a nice little group of pictures. Plus I did some cooking recently that I haven't shared so, here it is:
Honey Lime Shrimp with Mango Salsa and Cilantro Lime Rice! YUM YUM!

My most recent deal thanks to Hip2Save! 4 boxes of coffee (48 k-cups) and a 15 pc. porcelain tea set for only $15!

Stuffed Peppers! A first time for me also SO GOOD!

Fun summer-y cups ready to be filled with tea or lemonade tomorrow! 
Enjoy your memorial day weekend and take time to remember those who have died for our freedom!
