6 months of home ownership

Our house couldn't even wait until Christmas was officially over. At 11:30pm I notice the cat hanging out by the front door. Even for the strange cat he is, this is not normal behavior so I keep an eye on him. He's not getting into trouble. I keep hearing noises but glances over my right shoulder doesn't confirm anything out of the ordinary.

You know that gut feeling you get? Well maybe not if you are a dude. Ladies know what I am talking about. We call that female intuition. The male intuition is when they know when they have a big fart coming. The female intuition is a bit more refined. We know when something is amiss. We can sniff out a lie before it's even improvised. We know when kids in the other room are about to break an expensive lamp or ect.. That is the female intuition. Males deny this only because they don't have it.

Well my alarm was going off in my gut so I got up to see what the cat was up to. Turns out he was monitoring the water dripping onto the carpet. Good kitty. Wait, what water?!

Instead of having a "White Christmas" Charleston, South Carolina was blessed with the second best thing, cold rain. Great. Torrential amounts of rain.

For any combination of reasons our roof decided to leak the instant Dan set foot into work on the one day of the year he can't take time off. I call up his work and I can barely make it through the ridiculous monologue from the other line:

"Good morning; afternoon; evening, sir or ma'am. This is the office of (name). This is Petty Officer (last name) speaking. I am wearing two left shoes, ate Subway for dinner, this line is not secure and I love my momma, how may I help you?"

You Navy wives out there know what I am talking about.

Since it was nearly midnight on Christmas night we decided to just wait until the morning to assess the damage. Luckily it stopped raining so I didn't need to get on the roof with a tarp. Which I would've woke my neighbors to do for me. Hahahaha.

Our dishwasher decided to go into early retirement earlier this month. Since that happened the day before going to our in-laws we waited to get that fixed and the repair man is coming Friday to look at it. If he can't fix it, he's going to replace it.

The joys of home ownership. If my garden tub breaks I will go nuts. Hahaha. No, seriously.
