Are we having fun yet???

So, I had to work from home today, on account of Rebekah getting a stomach bug. She woke up bright and early to "evacuate" everything in her little tummy. First from the top and later on from the bottom. Poor thing. After I got her to rest, I tried to do a little work. We recently learned how to check our work e-mail through webmail. I was excited that I didn't need my laptop--which is at the office--to check e-mail. Well, webmail is not working correctly. It continues to time out every 2 or 3 minutes, oftentimes in the middle of composing messages. So, once I gave up that effort, I decided to take a little nap. Upon waking, I discovered Bekah was burning up with fever and the water had been turned off! I gave Bekah motrin and promptly called the city to find out what was going on. I could see one of their trucks across the street from my house. When I got a representative on the line, they told me that it was some emergency and they had to shut off the water to the whole block. As soon as I hung up, one of the city workers came up to the door to announce it could be 3-4 hours before the "situation was under control". So, I've been washing everyone's hands with bottled water. Fancy. Now, to make everything perfect--I just discovered that the dinner plans we made with my sister-in-law--that I was debating to cancel for Bekah's sake--is actually in honor of yours truly. You see, my birthday is this Saturday and since we are going to be out of town, my sweet family wanted to throw me a little party. Well, I guess I can spray Rebekah down with lysol and still go.
