Argh.

That is me.

As most of you know – we live in Georgia.  Yes.  The state that has been getting a lot of rain. And now it has some major issues.  Mudslides, floods, deaths, just to name a few.  And while I am complaining, here are a few more things to add to the compaint-o-meter:

• I got probably two hours of sleep last night.  The power would flicker – which then activated our answering machine – making me think that there were burgler voices right outside…causing my ever-protective husband to jump outta bed and leave the room.  Twenty minutes later, I was convinced that he was dead due to a shot from a gun that would be surely equipped with a silencer.  And I should lay unmoving in bed – to trick the murderous theives into thinking I was asleep.  because that makes sense at 2 in the morning. 
• The thunder and lightening was so loud and bright that at one point around 3…my sleepless boyfriend just suggested that we watch tv.  But I refused so that I could lay in bed wrapped up in the fear of a tree crashing me into the basement.      
• Due to flooding, closed schools, and road issues – my fifteen minute commute took an hour.
• I walked into our office this morning and it had water issues.  And I am the only one there today.  So I spent the better part of the morning with papertowels wrapped around my feet as I tried to soak up the flooded kitchen, two offices and hall.
• As I was doing a paper-towel dance, I recieve a call from my boyfriend.  Our basement is flooded.  Torrey (our basement roomie) doesn’t know his stuff is soaked yet.

On the flipside – there are some things to be glad about:

• I did get a few hours of sleep vs. none.
• my boyfriend isn’t dead.
• no trees fell on our house.
• I got to work in one piece.
• We had plenty of papertowels at work.
• Jeremy works from home and is able to soak up the water in the basement.
• Torrey doesn’t know his stuff is soaked yet.

So if you get a chance – say a little prayer for all those folks who are going through loss that ensued from flooding.  Our little speedbumps are so small in comparison 🙂 

Thanks for letting me vent.

Back to papertowel-boots 🙂
