hope...

Still no water here.

I don't function well without my morning shower.

It got too late last night and the stores with the supplies were closed when we needed something to do the job.

Hopefully this morning it will be fixed... please, God.


UPDATE: The pipe has been fixed. Now, the floor is being cleaned, the wall needs to be repaired (as well as a small portion of ceiling) and we have to do some major clean up... BUT... I have had a shower!!!! That is the most important thing, right?... right?... I don't hear you...

Yikes!...

When daughter number 5 went to bed tonight, she came running up the stairs to tell me that there was water pouring from the ceiling on her bed.

Needless to say, the husband had to be woke from his slumber and the journey to fix a broken pipe in the horrible weather has started.

We have now torn into the ceiling and the wall in that particular bedroom. Pipes are being replaced and hopefully the water will be on soon.

Ten people in the house usually mean someone has to use the bathroom. Water is needed here people!

The wonderful and sad thing is that my husband leaves for work at 2:30 in the morning. At the moment it is almost 11:00... the work isn't done... you do the math. I feel so sad for him... and yet so proud that he is able to fix... anything! What a guy. I know how tired he is, but he does this for us anyway. I just love that guy!!!!

Hopefully this will be resolved soon and he will get a couple of hours to sleep before facing the snowcovered roads that caused a huge number of accidents this evening including a 20 car pileup! I am so thankful all of my people were safe at home.

I feel so helpless. When I tried to go help, I was "ordered" to sit on the couch and not hurt my back anymore! That is so hard to do!

Will the real Cadi please stand up...

What a silly creature.

The more I tried to get her to give us some real poses...

The more i got stuff like this.

I guess in the end I will be so thankful to have pictures of her before she gets to serious.

She is such a silly girl when it comes to pictures.

At lease she had us laughing... for awhile.

..then I was ready to pack it all in and go home.

Taking pictures of this many people is exhausting.

Oh yeah...

And I forgot to bring any water bottles for the bunch...

so we were all wasting away...

and losing our minds!
