What a Mess!

This morning when I woke up I heard running water in the living room so I went to investigate and found that half of the basement floor was covered in standing water and more was pouring in through the window. Once again I was reminded that I am completely useless in emergency situations. After running around and making some phone calls I accomplished nothing more than getting my pijamas soaking wet. Here I am in outfit #2 for the day showing the level of water in the window sill. I woke up Julia and she had the presence of mind to call some people that could actually come help with the problem. The sprinklers didn't shut off this morning so after hours of watering the lawn it filled up the window and leaked inside. If only I had kept with my self-imposed summer wake-up time this problem would have been taken care of much sooner. I don't want to say what time I actually got up and noticed the flooding--I'll just say we were no longer in the single digits.
