Anyone else experiencing this wacky weather of late? First we get 2 feet of snow. In a few days, it rains for 3 days straight giving me a new lakefront property that I didn't know I had purchased when I bought my home. A day of wait, then the freezing rain comes toppling power lines, utility poles and trees in a domino effect. In another day, 5 inches of snow. We now have 2 days reprieve and 3 more days of rain on its way.
Throughout this all I realized just how dependent we are on things. A family of 4 boys goes insane with no power. (We have a fireplace so all slept in the family room during the power outages.) Flushing toilets? Ugggh, those were out for 4 days due to high water. Since I live in a rather rural area, forgive me when I told you I sent the boys outside after the first couple of days. Where'd they go to the bathroom in the move Day After Tomorrow? They were all crammed in that little bitty library room.
Well, today I'm doing massive laundry, everyone is taking showers, and we are cleaning all the toilets in preparation of the next wave of weather.
Through it all, I tell myself that we are lucky. Things could be worse and we survive by just adapting.
Hotdogs and s'mores on the fireplace anyone?
