Water issues

So I was just going about my day today--took a shower, threw in a load of laundry, lalala, when all of a sudden my water pump started making scary and angry noises. That's right, I had run our water supply COMPLETELY OUT. There was dirty sludge water pumping into the washer, and nothing coming out of the faucets. Good times. My poor husband is downstairs now trying to fix everything.

I decided to clean the upstairs today. It was like going on an archeological dig in our bedroom--it had been SO LONG since I had cleaned upstairs. But, now it is clean, and I am happy. Of course, our only set of flannel sheets is what I threw in the washer, so I still have to make the bed whenever they dry...and seeing as it's a quarter to 7, I don't know if we're going to get the flannel sheets tonight. That sucks, since it's like 5 degrees outside.

I made a cheesecake today for my husband...I have been trying valiantly to figure out a way to bake cheesecake without there being a giant crack in it. Foiled again! I like to call it a "flavor crevasse" because you can just dump tons of topping in there to cover it up. However, today's cheesecake split in an almost straight line, so I think if I just cut it that way, it will get rid of the evidence!

We put up Marina's crib yesterday, and she is officially out of our bedroom. Such a delightful time in our life! I love being able to turn the light on at night, and roll over on our creaky box spring without worrying about it waking her up. However, it is annoying to have to get up and walk into the next room to nurse her 10,000 times a night, but it's worth it. She seemed to sleep better last night, too. Makes me happy.

Well, since the water situation seems to be remedied, I should probably go do the dishes. I love having a built in excuse not to do them all day, but that time has evidently passed. I should also get them done before the clergy meeting starts so that Dn. John can hold Marina for me...
