About 10 minutes before we were supposed to leave for church Sunday morning, one of my children came up with the news that after finishing their shower, the tub faucet would not turn off and was continuing to spew water out full blast no matter which way we turned it. I sent a quick text to Jared who was just finishing his pre-church meetings to see if he could run home. I was hoping it would be a quick fix to spare me the embarrassment of showing off the messy parts of my life with others. I never use the basement bathroom and have therefore usually delegate its cleanup to my children, which unfortunately isn't a consistent occurrence. But this wasn't a quick fix and cringed a bit inside as the kind member of our ward got an impromptu tour of the "darkest corners of my house" including my kid's bedrooms, storage closets, bathroom cabinets, etc. as they searched for a way to turn off the water to no avail. They ended up having to shut off the main water and obtain a part. Fortunately, it was "Piano Sunday" when one of my piano parents brings us a meal in exchange for piano lessons earlier in the week, so the dishes didn't pile up too much.
