two days and two cries later...

the other night we got rain.
more than a little. all at once.

we missed a tornado, but got the wind.
made everything muddy, and messy with debris.
my backyard became a pond.

and throughout the past two days, I've periodically been in the basement.
praying my sump pump would keep going.
as I dumped gallons upon gallons of water from the water-vac into the pump.

two days, and two breakdown-and-cries-b/c-i'm-overwhelmed later, I think the water has lowered...in the basement and the backyard.

but, it is supposed to rain again. hoping it only sprinkles.
