Oh, what a day...

So, as you all know, today was my first day alone with the baby. It seemed like things were starting to go off at an okay rate. Blake went to work, I gave Cara a bath..things were going okay. I needed to run to the commisary to grab a couple of things (milk, bread, food), just groceries in general. I was feeling up to the task, so I started getting ready to leave. This takes a lot longer than before because I now have to get Cara ready as well. I pumped a bottle of milk for her, becuase Blake wanted me to stop by and show one of his airmen the baby. I put a couple of things in the sink to soak, turned the water faucet on and went upstairs to get dressed. For some reason, it didn't occur to me to turn the water back off. Ten minutes later, I was on my way back downstairs and I could hear what seemed to be a waterfall. Oh boy. I got to the kitchen and it was completly flooded! There was an inch of water across the entire floor!!! I quickly turned the faucet off and ran upstairs to get every towel I own. The towels did nothing. The water was everywhere. The silverware drawer was completly full of water, I havn't yet looked in the lower cabinets...I can only imagine. I ran to the commisary and bought a mop. When I got home, I put all the towels in the washer on the spin cycle to get the water out of them. This is where I am at as we speak. I fed and changed Cara and I am waiting for her to fall back asleep so I can get a little more of the kitchen cleaned up. What a day!!

On another note..here is the daily picture of Cara. She brightens up even my darkest moments!
