Mommy, mommy --- the shower battery died


It's been awhile since ive written anything, but it's been that kind of a week.  Until last night.  It was just a regular friday, the one day we had nothing to do.  We were going to meet the daddy person for dinner and then come home.  We did, and as soon as we came home the daughter went into the bathroom to take a shower.  The boy was in my bathroom using the toilet, i heard him flush, but it just didn't sound right.  I yelled for him to flush right, but the the noise got really strange.  My immediate thought was that he had broken my toilet.  How on earth was that possible?!?!?!  As i'm walking in to see what's going on my daughter comes out of the bathroom dripping wet, a towel draped around her, crying.  I suddenly felt like i'd jumped into some surreal dimension.  I finally understand her " *sob* *sob* the shower *sob* the battery *sob* it's broken *bwaaaaahhhh* "  HUH?  what do you mean the shower battery is broken?? what da?  so i turn on the faucet an it's just a very thin drip. Ohhhhh!! 

I pick up the phone and call my neighbors. The conversation went something like this  "So is like your water working?   - Who is this?  What? - It's me, my water isn't working, is yours? - Oh, um, let me check.  Nope, not working either.  Whatcha do break it? - Yup, gotta go. "

Endless hours of calling produced nothing, finally found out there was a water main break.  No water for the TriCounty Area.  Fun!!
