No Water :(

I woke up this morning, and went in to
wash my face....and there was NO water!! I
checked the other sink in there, and the
shower...nothing. I went to the kitchen,
again nothing. So I frantically searched
for a letter or something that I may not
have read, saying the water would be shut
off on whatever date. But nope. So I
called to ask about it, and there were 2
major water lines that broke around here.
My cousin's baby is sleeping, thankfully.
I hope he sleeps a long time, because I
only have enough bottled water for *maybe*
2 bottles. The only have a tad bit of
water left. I have a full tray of ice
cubes if it comes to that. And I supposed
if the dogs do run out of water I can dip
some out of the aquarium. I have no idea
how long we're without water. I'm hoping
it will be back before I leave for work at
5:00. The things I take for granted. If
nothing else my mom is coming into town a
bit after 1, so I can ask her to pick us
up some water.

Yeah, I'm glad I didn't wake up and get
ready to take my shower THEN find we had
no water. I like to give Adriana her bath
during the day, but she'll survive until
tomorrow. I'd like a shower before leaving
for work, but I'll survive as well.

Gah!! Don't you hate that? That's
happened here a couple times, plus one day
last week all the water coming out of the
faucets was brown. And I mean brown. I
was scared to do anything. I used hand
sanitizer instead of washing my hands all
day. And when I called the water company
they pretended like nothing was wrong.
Yeah, muddy water is the norm...
I hope your water's back on soon!!!

Yeah, I've been using wipe ups and hand
sanitizer today. I was going to boil some
noodles earlier for Adriana....but that
requires water. I was going to throw in a
load of clothes in the washer, but that
also requires water. 
The aquarium is looking mighty tempting
for a bath. Both kids are asleep and it's
the perfect opportunity for a shower. But
that's also hard to do without water.
Does anyone know how long it takes to fix
a broken water mane (sp?) or
pipe...whatever it was? Can't they just
throw some duct tape on it and be on their
way?

Whoa....2 days is a long time to go
without water, especially with a messy
toddler running around. And she won't let
me feed her, she's little miss
independent.

Yeah, if only I had money LOL.
I checked the water a few minutes ago, and
it's coming out. if I turn it on slow it
comes out ok, but when I turn it up it
kinda sprays....and some icky water came
out too. I haven't tried either sink in
the bathroom yet....the toilet flushes
tho. The washer just makes a weird noise.
