Working on a cake was supposed to be the messiest thing I did today

Yesterday my husband took our broken dryer apart to see what was wrong. The belt had broken so I won’t have a dryer until the new belt comes tomorrow. Thankfully it’s warm and windy enough that I was able to put two loads of laundry out on the line to dry. So in the process of this while doing the first load of laundry I discovered my husband never rehooked the drain hose to the proper place when he moved the washing machine. It was only about a minute of the water pouring out before discovering what was happening. I can’t believe so many water comes out so fast. It took 12 towels to clean it up and then I had to mop the floor. The bus came early and we almost missed it due to all this. I was then steaming carrots in a pot on my stove and didn’t realize the water had boiled out so drippings of carrots on the bottom burned. I was rushing to make a cup of coffee before taking Baby S to story hour and spilled some of my coffee. Baby S is down to a nap now and my morning bad luck seems to have gone away thankfully. It is my husband’s birthday and I’m very excited for the cake I am making him and to give him his gift.
