Friday Nightmare
Well, this past Friday was really crazy. I had just finished feeding Ethan lunch when a loud siren started going off in our apartment. At first I thought it was the fire alarm, but it wasn't the same sound as the fire alarm. So, I opened my front door to see if I could see anything. I didn't so I came back inside. In my closet I heard a strange noise which really scared me. I was so afraid the whole place was about to burn down. I grabbed the phone book to call the office (with all of this noise no one was here to check it out!!). In the meantime the fire alarm starts going off as well and I panic. I grab Ethan's coat and hat (it was freeeezzziing!!) and race outside to walk to the office. When I walked out I saw gushing (I mean gushing, this was no little water drip!!) from above my apartment. It honestly looked like the place was just going to burst open. To make a long story short, the sprinkler pipes on the fourth floor burst and it had soaked down to me on the bottom floor. I had drippings of water scattered around and the had to actually remove the carpet padding in Ethan's room. Just when we thought they got it all stopped, water started running over our piano!! Crazy! Then to suck up the water we were using a dehumidifier and heaters and fried the breaker which has left us with no electricity in Ethan's room and bathroom for the whole weekend. Wow!
