Shortly after Kyle came home from work we discovered our water was out. Kyle went outside to investigate. He talked to one of the neighbors and discovered the water was out in the whole neighborhood. Kyle was joking with the neighbor about not being able to use the bathroom when our neighbor told him he was concerned about that very issue because he was having a colonoscpoy tomorrow and he just drank a whole bunch of fluid that is supposed to clean out your system...as in flushing out all of your #2. Get my drift. YIKES.
At dinner, the no water issue is still plauging us. My heart goes out to dear neighbor. John is in the high chair watching me eat a baked potato and salad because he has no appetite and refused the potato which I had fixed for him. All of the sudden I hear one of those rumbles. You know the sound....the stomach-churning-pre-explosion type of rumble. Uh-oh. This is what I get for mentioning in the last blog that we haven't had an explosion since late '07.
I took a peek and "it" was everywhere. Kyle was doing some urgent work from home and really couldn't help me at the moment. And did I mention THERE'S NO WATER PEOPLE! John and I went straight to the shower, clothes and all, so that the "stuff" could be contained. I flipped the faucet open with a prayer and (hallelujah!) the water was back! John and I did a praise dance in the shower that the City of Houston Water Department came through for us at such a critical moment.
Here's John's best "I'm Sick Mommy" Look (pre-explosion)
Let's hope tomorrow brings less drama for this mama.
