Sub Zero Chaos

My house is in complete and utter chaos. There are dishes (clean ones) all over the counter top. There are cleaning supplies covering the computer room floor. The washer and dryer sit askew in the downstairs bathroom. And there are two holes and soon to be more or at least a bigger one in that same bathroom.

The reason for all the chaos? Well, the weather has been at it's coldest the last couple of days. In effort to keep the kitchen pipes from freezing the cupboard was cleared so we could put a small space heater in it.

And this morning, in spite of our best efforts to keep it from happening, the pipe to the washer burst. Thankfully Tony was home to deal with it. And thankfully we have handyman friends who we can hire to do the repairs.

Yep, the house is in chaos. But guess what? I choose to be thankful. Why? At least I have a house! Some people in various cities and towns throughout our country aren't so lucky. And on cold days like this, I can't help but be thankful that I'm not homeless.
