*this is not the weekend I ordered*

This is the weekend I envisioned when Eric left town on Friday...I saw warm fireplaces (with coffee and knitting)
 
I saw lots of sewing time 

 
I was really looking forward to a cozy, quiet, relaxing weekend.
But this is what I got instead...

 
a flooded car...
that we had to slowly disassemble
 
(yeah, it just keeps getting worse)

 
to bail out all the water (inches! of it)

 
to dry out all the parts,

 
and left "Sporty Spice" in total chaos!
Luckily Chris put my driver seat (and seat belt Mom!) back in and ... Well - that's what it still looks like today.  AND its supposed to rain today - so our drying efforts over the last two days may have be thwarted.  If not, we did discover two leaks (one on each side - in different places - great!) that we can fix and hopefully soon reassemble the whole thing. 

I'm gone this weekend and I happen to think Eric's 'cozy, quiet weekend alone (which included dreams of chainsaws, and garden tilling more than likely)' may contain more of the same flooded car instead - but hopefully it looks more like re-assembling than dis-assembling.
