I forgot to add.... The hose to the refrigerator's ice/water dispenser busted so we still don't have water BECAUSE the old man went to the ER yesterday BECAUSE he's breaking out in shingles again. This means I have to bring in water to flush the toilets and haul all the firewood upstairs. I did fill the bathtub full of water before the storm hit so there is water to flush the toilet upstairs but what I forgot was that it's an old fashioned toilet with the water resavor positioned a good 5 foot up. Now how can I haul the water up there? D'oh!

Christi, move over darlin' I'm heading your way! Wait, are the kids still sick? Maybe I'll rethink this one.

Oh the old man is ok. He got a happy shot and can't do anything. Not that he did a whole lot before all this. *sigh*!
