Sink Success! Oh...
So after my chaos that I encountered yesterday, I decided that I needed some peace and quiet.
There I was putting dishes away from the dishwasher, trying to ignore the continuous sound logs being sawed, and the chaos of toys all around, grinding my teeth because of all the dirty dishes that were pilled up in the sink. I just don't understand why I have to be responsible for everything in the house sometimes! Well, I guess my teeth grinding was excessively loud, loud enough to wake the up hubs out of his lumber jack dreams. He comes into the kitchen not saying anything, and immediately attempts to help me with the dirty dishes. Which further gets on my nerves because he is in my way! He senses my agitation and starts sneaking around me, but still loading the dishwasher too.
So the dish washer gets loaded, and I start cleaning the sink. This sink that we have is basically a loaner, if you will. It's not the sink that I wanted, but it was free at the time. So it's not placed in the spot to be permanent, and has been causing me issues about leaking all over my cleaning supplies in the cabinet underneath.
Me: "Hey, Honey?
Hubs: "Huh?"
Me: "Why don't you fix this leaking problem under the sink, and while you're at it how about fixing the leak in the drain pipe under the house. You know, that Terminex man was here the other and said that it was still leaking." ::still leaking from last summer::
Hubs: "Well, I'm not going to fix it until we have the sink that we want."
Me: "Oh. So when is that going to take place?"
Hubs: ::shrugging shoulders and yawning::
Me: "How about this then. I'll go online and pick out exactly what I want, write it down, give you the credit card, and you go get exactly what I want. AND you can put it in today, and fix the leak."
Hubs: ::stunned look on his face::
Me: "Go round up the kids, and you can take them to McDonalds too so they can play in the play place, and on your way home pick up my sink."
Hubs: "You want me to do that today?"
Me: "YES! Did I stutter???"
So he's off with the kids, and I'm like "Aaaaahhhhhh". I kick back on the sofa with my key lime pie, and indulge in its awesomeness and surf the TV stations. Oh, this is so nice! Watching Sprout everyday gets kind of boring, at least for me.
So the hubs gets home, gives my my receipt and card, and begins the process of switching sinks. Everything is wonderful, and my new sink looks awesome! It actually matches everything now! So exciting.
Then it comes to fixing the drain pipe....
Well, he didn't anything or it because he wanted to 'see what he needed first'. Humph. And here I though my husband was the great and almighty know-it-all that didn't need to be told how to do anything. So he goes back to Lowes and buys what he thinks he needs. Well. He was wrong. Go figure.
So here I am looking at my chaos of a home. At least my kitchen is the only place where everything is in order.....oh wait, HA! Let's just see how long it takes before he actually fixes this mess. At least I can use the right side of the sink.
