Kitchen dilemma

Well, I finally decided to do the dishes last night. Anyone who knows me knows that dishes do not take a high priority in my life. I can ALWAYS find something else to do besides the dishes. But I thought since it was hard to find the kitchen sink that they were in order. So I sent Frank off to his High Priest meeting and set about cleaning the kitchen.

So I was filling the kitchen sink with HOT water and decided that the faucet needed to be in sprayer mode instead of just the steady stream. Boy, was that the wrong thing to do. Here is what my faucet is supposed to look like.
















And after pushing the button to change the spray, this is what I now have.
And that is with the water turned on very low. When the faucet fell off the stream of water shot clear across the kitchen. All I could do was stand there and look at it shooting a heavy stream of water. Then it dawned on me that I could turn it off. So I did, then I mopped up the mess. But later I would go to rinse the dishes off and just turn on the water and again, I mopped up the mess. It was kind of funny, but rather annoying by the time I finished the dishes.
I did put a RED plastic cup over it to kind of get your attention so that Frank didn't have to mop the floor. I guess that we will be buying and installing a new one. Too bad we can't do new countertops and sink to match. (No, I would rather have furniture in my basement.)

Hi Sonja: So sorry to hear about your faucet issues - no fun at all. By the way, we just got the Ziplock bags! Thanks!!! Can't wait to try them out on some of the broccoli currently filling the fridge.
