Whew, things are finally starting to get back to "somewhat normal" here. Sunday morning I got up and started my normal routine. Cooking breakfast, reading the paper, started some laundry, ect. After 2 loads of laundry and eating breakfast of course, I was going to start doing the dishes. Turned on the faucet in the kitchen....no water. Checked the bathroom, no water there either. Got the phone book out, called the after hours number for the water dept...BUSY. Well, at least we aren't the only ones, right? So, I retired to my scrap room to work on some projects, checked back later, still no H20. Painted my toes and fingers, checked again....no go. So, we switch to the local city channel, only to find out the water main busted. NICE. Forcasting the return of water around 7 p.m. Seven comes and goes, still no water. Talked to Amy W. she says that we won't have water at all that night. So, you know Rich, he ain't hanging around without the full amenaties, pack your bags-we're going to a motel. After a night of hardly any sleep at the Andover Inn, went to work Monday checking in several times with people that live in Augusta-still no water, supposed to be on by 12:00. (Do you know where this is going yet???)12:00 comes and goes, still NO WATER. Finally, shortly before I leave work at 6:00, got the news. Water is back on, but we have to boil for a couple of days. Sounds like a good excuse not to cook for a couple days to me, LOL! So in the mean time I have a huge pile of dishes awaiting me, not to mention we have decided to take a road trip this coming weekend to visit family in Springfield, lord knows I need to get my butt into gear and get ready for that. I guess it's always something as they say, right! So my physical therapy is going well, still nothing strenuous-thank the lord. Therapist feels like we are coming right along, feels like I am doing great. Hopefully 8-10 hours in the car this weekend won't cause any back tracking. Rich is really looking forward to eating at Lamberts; home of the throwed rolls. And I am looking forward to visiting with my grandparents, great aunt & uncle, as well as my parents and older sister and her husband and kids. Seems the last few years we just don't get the opportunity to see each other like we used to. In anticipation I have started a mini book for the road trip (think Ali Edwards and her working mini book that she takes on trips) I picked up the most adorable making memories PP at the Attic this weekend. It is the Passport line and if you haven't seen it you can check it out here:

We'll see how it goes, scrapping as we travel. I have never quite done it that way, so I will let you know how it goes. Well, gotta go, work is calling me:( Hope you all have a good day!!!
