monday night madness

I'm sure you're all wondering what is Orson's rubber duckie doing in the living room. Well, it's a long story so hold on...
We had a long day on Monday and Orson crashed early. Yay! A 6:15pm bedtime is unheard of! My mind raced to figure out what to do first. I decided to eat (my stomach was grumbling) after checking email and then I would get to sewing. But when I sat down in front of the computer I heard a strange noise coming from the bathroom. Our upstairs neighbor's hot water pipe had burst and was quickly filling our bathroom with scalding hot water... lovely. Did I mention Byron had to stay late at school? At least O was sleeping while I tried to salvage items from the bathroom. Our building manager came down with his adorable twin girls (one dressed like a ballerina, the other was a lady bug.) I invited them in to assess the damage and O woke up. He was quite disturbed to see these cute characters playing quietly with his toys! After they left, O calmed down and went back to sleep (for 5 minutes) until maintenance arrived to say they were cutting out the ceiling to our bathroom (it would only take a few hours) and I had a few minutes to clear out the entire bathroom. Lovely. So, I strapped O into his stroller and got to work! (any hope of sewing has now been swept away) O & I sat and watched them cut a hole in the ceiling. And then we listened to the workers curse as they discovered the pipe was not in the ceiling. Oops. So, the good news was they were done in our unit for the night but they would be back to repair the hole. Lovely. Cold water until 9am and then no hot water until 3pm on Tuesday (hopefully). Anyways, I ate a granola bar for dinner around 11:30. Lovely.
