An end in sight at least!

Well, if I had to say what day it was in the count of days without water, it is probably kind of maybe day 4.5?? I’ll explain in a minute.

I blogged yesterday about taking a day off of crochet orders and spending the day relaxing with my kid…

Yes, you Sweetie!… and not accomplishing anything. I think some of that came from the inability to do anything! I can do things, I know, but my kitchen is what is eating me alive, and it is way too far gone to just boil up some water we hauled in to wash a few measly dishes. Being upstairs just irked me. However, a friend and her son dropped by and didn’t say one judging thing, so the boys played while she and I talked and I relaxed.

Dekker didn’t last long before he was ticked and ready for bed. So when I put him down for a nap, I went downstairs to stretch out in front of some Dr. Phil and crochet. Of course, I worked on projects. How do you not when they’re looming? Plus I’ve been dragging my feet on a few, so they’re officially completed and going out in the mail today! On that quick note, some sweet buttons hey? For the person who didn’t want vintage 🙂

Dekker slept all afternoon. I crocheted like mad and planned my day in the city that will happen today, once Deks wakes up and I decide that the water is safe to shower in. Yes, we have water, but I’m not there in the story yet!

When Brady got home, everything went according to plan. Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of supper but it just hit the spot and was amazing! Perogies and wings. Exactly what I’ve been hungry for. After that, we pulled out the decorations and began dressing the tree. Voila!

There are not a lot of colors on our tree at this point. White lights, lots of disco balls, and other sparkly silvery things. We figure eventually our kids will fill it with random crafts they make in Sunday school and that can be our color 🙂 Looking forward to it! We also put up our nativity set, which I like even more than usual this year!

Everything turned out really nicely and comfortably. When it was all ready to go, we ran around and ran all our taps to get the yucky water through so we could officially have clean water. When everything had its good few minutes to run, we ran a tub and got some snacks. I’m sure you can understand how much I’ve missed my bubble baths!!! And then…

Sigh. Yup, we didn’t see it in time and ran an entire bath of brown water. We drained the thing and let the water keep running and running, never having it get clean. We ran our hot water until it was cold, with no results. So I’m left with brown water and probably a huge water bill. I’ll check on everything again sometime soon, but it was sooo discouraging last night.
