Welcome Back to Mexico...

We were pretty excited leaving the Mexico City airport and heading back to Polanco this afternoon. We had the dog, the luggage, the baby...everything fit in the 15 passenger van! Life was looking good!

Then, we got back to our condo!

The house was filthy, which was to be expected. We always have a lot of dirt traveling in, due to the building's layout and construction.

But, the next door neighbor's front door, which is glass, like ours, had shattered...leaving glass around our front door.

Then, we learned the parking garage (one floor under our condo) had flooded while we were gone. So, while Mike started cleaning, I went down to check the car. I opened the door, felt the seat...it was dry. Felt the floor...soaking wet. Started the car. Everything was fine. Turned it off, got out, heard a dripping...went to the back of the car, where water was streaming out of the tailpipe. Got back in the car, turned it on, drove around the parking garage...all seems fine. We'll see if Mike gets to work alright in the morning!

Once back in the unit, I was doing laundry. Started washing our comforter. Apparently I had the water level too high, as we had water pouring out the top, all down the sides and behind the washing machine. Super!

Add in a toddler that wants lots of attention, toys, food, and more attention, bathing the dog, being the bucket runner while Mike cleaned floors, unpacking (with a toddler who kept putting her toys back in the bags I was trying to unpack), and needing to get to the store on Easter Sunday...having no clue what time it would close... it was a hectic afternoon!

...And, I must mention that due to the flooding, the elevators are out of order. So, now whenever Annie and I leave in her stroller, we'll have to inconvenience the security guard and ask him to help me carry the stroller up the stairs.

What's next?
