We are supposed to be going to Houston this weekend, but that plan is now on the line. The reason is that half of Lila's bedroom has wet carpet. :oI~

We had a service guy out yesterday to fix our water softener, including the filtering system under the kitchen sink. Well he fixed it all right! Actually, he did do what he was supposed to in order to fix the filter system, but he failed to tighten something properly. Around 10 p.m. we noticed that there was quite a bit of water leaking under the sink.

So, Doug turned off the valve so that it couldn't leak anymore and cleaned up the water that was under there. Or so we thought. At 1:45 a.m., Lila woke up and needed some help going back to sleep. When Doug went into her room, he discovered that the carpet in there was wet. Apparently there had been so much water leaking that it had soaked into the cabinets and baseboards and made its way over to her bedroom. Ack!

Now we're waiting for someone professional to call and tell us the best way to get it dry. We need to do that as soon as possible because we don't want mold growing under our child's bed! The worst-case scenario is that we'll have to get the cabinets replaced because we don't know how much water they soaked up and how damaged they are. *sigh* I LIKE our green cabinets...
