As I'm walking out the front door, I casually glance out the back window.
"Hmmm. The creek looks a little high," I say to myself. I stop and puzzle. I walk to the kitchen window.
"Hmmm. The creek looks REALLY high."
I open the back door and walk on the deck.
"HOLYCRAPONASTICK!"
This is what the backyard looks like:
So the bad news is that we have a sump pump that stopped pumping automatically and now needs to be run every hour for about 2 minutes to keep the water from flooding the house.
But the good news is that I had to stay home and keep an eye on the pump.
I don't care how old you are, a "snowday" (or should I say, "floodday") is ALWAYS exciting.
HOORAY! Happy Weekend, Everybody!!!!!!!

We have two sump pumps in our basement: a little one to handle regular rainy days, and a huge mo-fo one for the occasional monsoon. Problem is, neither of them are quite right, so someone has to be home to keep checking the basement periodically. Today is husband's turn.
