I really needed to mop my bathroom floor. But flooding the bathroom and into the kitchen was FAR from my idea of mopping the floor. Especially since we JUST finished cleaning up from a major flood at Leif's parents home. SERIOUSLY! I was stunned when I walked into the bathroom to an inch or more of water on the floor. That was the only time that I have been grateful for a large pile of laundry waiting to be washed.
The washing machine hose had fallen out of the sink and all of the water from the load in the machine drained onto the floor instead of into the sink. I had just put Caleb into time-out for drawing all over the kitchen cupboards with a marker (washable thank heavens!) I went in the bathroom to put the washrag in the laundry pile and stepped in the water. Luckily my sweet Jakob was there to help me jump into action. We were able to get it soaked up pretty quick. But, Wow! I was drained afterwards. The thought that we could have caused major damage to our home (which is actually Leif's parents) weighed heavily on me. Uggg! What a moment! I'll use a mop next time thank you!

Wow. I can't find the words for this. Ironic? Funny (in a morbid way)? Amazing? I guess wow is all that fits. I'm so sorry to hear that. Good thing you were able to mop it up quickly. I have to admit that we've managed to flood parts of our houses a number of times over the years. One year, when K was a little girl, she plugged the toilet and flushed it over and over. This was in that weird lopsided house in Hawaii. The water came out of the bathroom and ran downhill into the three bedrooms, flooding them too. And in our current home, the two youngest were in the bath one day and just started pouring the water from the tub onto the bathroom floor. It came out of the bathroom and into my bedroom.
I guess the trick is to catch it as quickly as possible and don't store anything too valuable near bathrooms or laundry rooms. :)
So sorry Lena :(
Glad you caught it before it was worse - and that you had laundry to soak it up!
So sorry that happened. Thank heaven for the never ending laundry just think if all you had to mop it up were the cloths you just washed and dried. Now that would be beyond aggravating.
