A Silver Lining...

So late last night, because everything dramatic in my life happens at night, the upstairs tub overflowed and flooded the bathroom, hallway, and one bedroom. While Joe and his mother tried to dry it up with every towel we own, I drove to Walmart and bought a shop vac and 4 fans.
This morning I called the insurance company and they sent over some guys to clean it up. The guys tore up all the floor in the bathroom, peeled back the carpet in the hall and the bedroom so they could remove the pad underneath, and ripped the baseboards off the walls.
So right about now you are probably wondering what is up with the title of this blog.
Well here it is...
The Silver lining is that all the toothpaste that I couldn't get out of the carpet (i.e. the really big plate sized spot right outside the bathroom) is gone!
