Livin La Vida Loca
You know those days when you just laugh because if you don't you might go crazy? Well, welcome to my day! Yesterday, the downstairs bathroom drain lines started flooding the downstairs bathroom whenever a shower was taken upstairs. Nothin' like cleaning everything that has been flushed down the toilet for the past 24 hours out of the floor. SO, Roto-Rooter comes out this morning and ruins all plans of anything I was going to get done today. After 3 hours and having to call in an extra worker to help- it is discovered that our septic line is broken. Goody. So, tomorrow morning, they will come back to snake a camera line through it all and see where the break is. I have got soooo much to do! I don't know when it is going to get done. Tomorrow night we are going to take dinner to my friend who has a new little baby boy. It is also raining cats and dogs (which I am so thankful for) but I don't look forward to the Roto-Truck tearing through my wet yard and digging through wet red mud..... But, it could be worse. At least only one bathroom is out of commission. I am just drowning in my to-do list and things keep popping up and interrupting my plans. I got an e-mail from the Clemson Alumni Assoc. that warned that major construction will begin Friday night on the one major ramp into Atlanta and would cause at least a 2-hour back up into Atlanta all weekend. The construction is supposed to be done by Sept 2nd. Now who thought that was a good idea? Yeah, let's start major construction with over 50,000 people coming into one small area and also on a holiday weekend. Why couldn't that have been postponed one week?? So- to ease our concern over that, we decided to call our hotel and go on to Atlanta on Friday afternoon instead of waiting until Saturday. I feel much better about that. We can sleep in on Saturday and take our time getting to the area of the Dome Saturday afternoon. As for all of the "stuff" I have to do here, well, I guess it's really just "stuff" and if it gets done- great. If not, I will survive. I am ready for some football, people. So ready!

Awe! Look at your to do list like you'd eat an elephant, one bite at a time.
And a smart woman told me once that if I put it on my day planner then rescheduled it twice, I either need to pass the work to someone who could do it in a timely manner(if it was possible), look at the task and ask is it really THAT important or do not it at all! Maybe that helps? I don't know but will be praying for you. I understand the problem with the potty-we have well water and it imploded the week Sams mother died...and everyone came to our home to pay their respects and we were in Pauline which is in the country with no water or potty for miles!
I was so embarrassed but God saw us through!

I know what you mean! My stomach is starting to feel a little uneasy... But on the other hand, I can't wait! We'll see in a few days what they've got!
