One of the things that most people take for granted is having water. Even those of us with a limited on-site supply do this. Only when we forget to watch what we use, we run out.
This morning, I made coffee and got the boys ready for school. But when J went to brush his teeth, he turned on the tap and nothing happened. We knew it wasn't frozen because it had worked earlier this morning...it was empty. That means that our 3000 gallon cistern had no water in it and we were at least several hours away from any water in the house.
So, I called the water hauling company immediately to get them headed in our direction. Well...the truck driver had been at the hospital all night with his wife and wasn't making deliveries today so we will have to wait until tomorrow. No showers, no dishes, no toilets, no nothing. Just like camping!
