Still...

Silent waters run deep, and since the flood waters are still about in RehabLand, we're paying attention.

No unnecessary water use and water conservation is the status almost a week into all this neighboring excitement. We are doing our part, which Bubba loves, since he thinks he'll melt if he takes too many baths. I've cut down laundry to one load as needed (when someone panicked because he thought he was out of underwear and socks) and I only do dishes when I fill up the dishwasher, then on eco or one hour mode.

We'll live reusing most of the towels and sheets. We are lucky. We are dry. Many of our neighbors a few miles away are not.

It is so much to be grateful for today.

More later.

Bonding with Bubba

Oh, the fun and excitement of living with a tween boy who is spring break staycationing.

1. Bubba thinks he's immune to taking baths or showers (and he loves swimming). I'm reminding him that he really does need to clean the cracks and crevices more than he does.

2. Since Dahey had to work, I took him to soccer. His team lost. He was sad. Dahey got updates via text and phone, though. The team got lots of shots, but nothing would go into the goal.

3. We took my sister out to lunch. Both of them are never happier than in an eating establishment. No one is ever bored with food around.

4. Movies are on the agenda, but since it was later in the day when we got home, I decided to hold off on seeing  Mr. Peabody and Sherman, but we had to get Thor.

I was so tired from my crazy week, I promptly feel asleep during most of the movie.

Ah, togetherness...
