HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!

Another crazy day at this house has begun!!! Started at about 4:45 this a.m. when the toilet wouldn't flush and the water wouldn't run!!!! Oh no, line between us and the business next door has frozen! This happened once before and it's a pain in the butt. It happens when the temps. go up, the ground gets saturated with melting snow, then it freezes like crazy again. This drives the frost in the ground really deep, thus the frozen pipe!!! The plumber has been called, as this one is more than I can take care of. He has to go in to the business beside us and work from their end. He said it will be at least noon, but he will get here today. So I had to rouse the kids, call Mom and haul everyone over there for a shower before school today! What a fun way to start the day. Came home and started a crockpot of veggie soup, that way supper will be done, even if we don't get water until late. So I'll try hard not to complain. Just had a great sermon about complaining where we should try to turn a complaint into a .....but yet....situation. So, we don't have water, but yet........we have heat and I was not working today, so I am home to take care of the problem. And on the plus side, there is more snow in the forecast and that makes me happy! I'll keep you posted when we get water. Until then, pray the pipe decides to thaw or the plumber decides to hurry! :)
