Raining Again!

We had an unusually wet summer and just when things were starting to dry up, here comes the rain again! Normally, I don't mind it so much but right now it is a huge inconvenience! We discovered a water leak in our yard that is pouring in through our basement wall a few days ago. Of course we immediately called a friend that does all of our digging work but he is booked until Friday. So we've been shutting the water off and turning it on for the necessities like showers. However, the water shut off valve is at the end of our drive which is almost 1/2 mile from our house! Again, it is a big inconvenience! But with the non-stop rain digging up the yard is now impossible and it looks like we are going to have to wait until it dries up. Then tonight when I got home from work I slipped on the wet step of our porch, hit my shin on the stairs, and landed flat on my back. So I'm sitting here in pain and really despising this rain! OK as I read back over my post I realize it is very whiney! I mean really there are people dealing with hurricanes, losing their homes, and I'm complaining about a minor water leak! I'll suck it up and deal with it. We don't realize how many of today's conveniences we take for granted until we are left without them!
