laundry overload

I have been doing laundry like an insane woman, and everyday, i get up and face an insane amount of laundry all over again...I have been feeling like it would never, ever end.

I went to turn the machine on last night about 10:30, and the water didn't sound right as it entered the machine. Ashley was just getting out of the shower, and she said the water pressure was off. I then found out the entire town was out of water...

The school, the city of Sasakwa, the rural water system, and the rural Holdenville system...no water...if we wanted to be in nowata, we would have moved there.

The situation is so bad, they are hauling water in to the school, state officials are on site to help, and FEMA is here...thats right, FEMA is in podunk Oklahoma.

They are trying to repair the lines as quickly as the leaks are reported. The theory is, during the recent blizzard all sorts of water lines froze, the past few days we have gone above freezing , and as the lines thawed they burst. The burst lines caused all the local water towers to drain, and in a blink everyone for miles and miles around are out of water....

Everyone that knows the lay of the land here, has been roped in to walk the lines looking for leaks. The Towers have been refilled, but they cannot turn the generators on until they know the lines are repaired, and no pipes are broken...

Guide them Lord, as they walk this rough cold freezing cold actually terrain...this is not the prairie of t.v., it is hilly and wooded, and rugged in lots of places...i am grateful the rattlesnakes are hibernating. We have lots of snakes here, coyotes, even bear...watch over the workers, as they sort this out..

How did i find out all the ins and outs when everyone involved is out working the situation? I called the school secretary, she knows everything!!!!!!!!!

I guess i needed a break from washing clothes, and i know some rest, a day off would be great, but Lord, no water, that is not my idea of a break, and hauling water to flush toliets, is not something i would want to do on a day off....how about i agree to rest, and you help them find the problem and fix my water...thank you..
