What I Love Wednesday ... so simple, so basic, so VITAL

We have had a little problem in our home lately ...

But I can't really get rid of the culprit, because, well ... we need it, we can't live without it!

I have, however, put the culprit in a temporary "time-out" ... and honestly, I am the miserable one.

Seriously, what's a girl/mom/wife/person to do without:



Truth is, we can't go without water for long, as I am currently proving!

For instance, I can't just go to the




and get a




And yesterday was a rather physically exerting one for me as I worked at keeping my basement from flooding. Needless to say, I could REALLY use a




but that won't be happening yet.
And then there are all those towels I have been using to mop up water, they are dry, but not clean since I can't use this right now!




The more awkward part is the inability to flush the




(not a problem for The Boy ... )

But I am amazed at how much I am bothered by NOT being able to



and



and



Who'd have ever thought I would be sad about NOT being able to do dishes.

That's when I realized how much I love water!

It is one of the most vital, yet overlooked, conveniences in my day-to-day life.

Without it, we are quickly headed toward



or



or even



Yikes!!!

So, dear water, I just needed to let you know that even though we have been battling it out over the past few days, I really can't live without you.

Please forgive me for anything I might have said or done to you during that time!

And it's looking like we'll have you back in our home soon ...
so please come back and know that you are loved!

Jenny, what happened?! Do you need me to bring you some of my water storage? Or, come stay with us until you have water again! I'm sure you have a plan, but if you need us, just call!

Oh how we take such simple things for granted huh? We are so blessed to be able to have the option of taking it for granted in the first place. I hope you get your water back soon. In the meantime you may have to get creative and take some of your friends up on their offers to help. Makes you realize how quickly things can turn without one little commodity huh?
