Without You

I feel a country song...by Dixie Chics coming through my head all day today....

And without you I'm not Ok, and without you I've lost my way.....

although it's not meant for my broken down truck, 8th husband or run away dog.......
(tee hee, sorry, bad humor)

it's meant for THE WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ode to Water
I need you water, strong and true
Without your consistency, laundry is hard to do!
I fill buckets with your drips and drizzles,
then stay up all night to pour and make fizzles!
Repeat for rinse 'til wee hours of the morn
and just to do laundry is making me forlorn!

I send the kids out after 7 days with sickness
now they're covered with sweat and sand, MY GOODNESS!
A hose in the garden for shower is become my new friend,
tho if I join the children, I think my stay will quickly come to an end!
Bathing in public is not appropriate
but neither is the smell of this expatriot!

You made a commitment to return yesterday
but you're still not here, so what have you to say?
Just give me a good reason, I promise to understand
just don't leave me hanging with my sweaty man!
Acceptance should be my middle name by now,
but by this day 5, I think I may have a cow!

ha! Thanks for letting me get that out ;) I'm not quite as honorable with my attitude in my meeting another day w/o water!

So - we're leaving for a 3 day vacation tomorrow! truly! WE'RE OUGHTTA HERE!!!

See ya when we return - hopefully I'll be shaved and freshened by then! In attitude, heart, rest, home and body!
