Ugh! I hate those! On Wednesday night I went to get the dish soap out so I could wash some bowls that were too big for the dishwasher. When I lifted it up I noticed that the bottle was dripping water. Wait, what? It's not supposed to be wet. So I looked down and realized that the entire cabinet was filled with 1/8" - 1/4" of standing water. That freaked me out a little bit so I quickly pulled everything out and put towels in to soak up all the extra water. The dishwasher was running, but we just it a couple months ago, and the technicians installed it so I hoped that wasn't the problem. I watched the hoses and there wasn't any water coming from anywhere. Then I ran the water from the faucet and within a few seconds it was dripping from the bottom of the disposal. The pipes were all fine, no dripping anywhere. All the connections seemed secure. Since Kent was still out of town I put a bowl to catch the water until he could come. We ended up getting a new disposal, and it seems to be a lot better. Kent started to install it last night, but we didn't have plumber's putty so we had to wait until the store was open this morning. It's all done now, and the leaks seems to be gone. I've got a bowl under the disposal again just in case we didn't fix it. Boy, am I glad for a husband that knows how to fix things. We're both pretty handy, and it saves a ton of money, and a lot of time.

I'll never forget when we were visiting Matt & Amy...and had a little mishap. We were so glad MacKayla and Grace (at the time they were 2 and 3) were playing so nicely. All of a sudden we hear a "flush" and remembered they were playing with the jar of super bouncy balls. Matt ended up having to take the entire toilet off and cracked the toilet in the process.
