Requesting a prayer for my sanity

Things were really starting to come together. Mike and I finished shopping for Christmas dinner. I was in the process of making the last batch of Christmas cookies. Cindy was busy helping get the laundry done, and Mike and the boys were helping in any way that I found the need. I was getting all excited and then I asked Mike to go to the basement and retrieve some things for me. He went and found that my hot watter tank was leaking badly and flooding my basement. The clothes that Cindy had sorted to be washed, those in baskets that were done, and everything was soaked. I had to stop the mixer turn off the oven and head to the laundry mat with garbage bags full of soaking wet clothes. Meanwhile, my wonderful father dropped everything ,as he has done so many times for me ( Thanks Dad I love you !) and came over with his truck. He and Mike went to Sears where Mike bought a new hot water tank and came home. This is the point where they realized that they needed some "hardware" to install the new one. Home depot and Lowe's were both closed so Dad vowed to be back in the morning and Mike is getting up at six to get what they need. Please pray that they are able to get it fixed quickly as I am expecting company in the afternoon tomorrow and for dinner Christmas day and sort of need water. Please also add a little prayer for my sanity that is just about shot.
