Its snowing! Which I will love when I get back to my parents house! Because then I don't have to drive in it of course. I'm hoping that Alaina's gets to feeling a little better. She's been coughing and she woke up screaming twice last night. Poor dear. They should make that sound into an alarm clock noise. Mom's would never sleep in again. Actually since I notoriously hit the snooze, maybe I woud learn to sleep a little more everytime she stirs.
Anywho . . .
I got all anbitious and decided that I was going to fix the dripping sink in the bathroom the other day. Well, I reached down to turn off the water and the shut off valve was wet. hmmmm. When I turned the valve off, it started leaking even more. Yikes! I shut it all the way off and it only drips about once every two minutes, but it is still going to be a problem. So now we have no hot water in the bathroom sink, thank you very much. Oops. Of course I thought to myself, Why don't I see if I can still fix the leak huh? I should have quite while I was still only a little behind. Apparently the only thing keeping the annoying dripping sink form turning into a terrible leak was me not touching it. The rubber gaskets inside the handle are completely toast, so I could put humpty together again, without a trip to the hardware store. Rats! So there is still no hot water in the bathroom sink, and I messed up the previously leaky sink and turned it into a geiser. By the way, this is typed with a smile on my face. I'm going to start researching into replacing the shut off valve myself! (But I'll get my husband to supervise!)

You don't have to drive anyway. I do. Good luck on the sink. Perhaps you did not twist using the maximum torquage.
I agree with your sister.... you should have checked the torquage!!! Is that spelled right? is it even a real word? Hmmm....
Love the story!! I can just see you going through all of the motions!! LOL!!
Been there, done that! Uh-oh! Wh-u-sh
