Grrrr....

For the lack of water I can't:

• Flush the toilet
• Wash the dishes
• Make a decent lunch
• Wash clothes
• Keep my preschooler's germy hands clean.
• Wash my hands.
• Do a myriad of other chores that require water

Due to the lack of water I've had to:

• Use rubbing alcohol to clean my hands...with a paper cut! OUCH
• Feel grimy due to lack of shower
• Go and buy water from the store so I can wash my dishes.
• Ration how many times my kids flush the toilet...a type of retro I choose not to remember fondly. (If it's yellow...let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down.)
• At 9:30 am, dress Travis and myself, wander all the way around the block to check our water valve. Only to read a notice that said: "Water will be shut off from 9 am to 5 pm on Tuesday due to authorized plumbing repairs." Um, thanks for not letting me know. Apparently, since my door is out of sight...it's out of mind too.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
