Light sleeper 2014

coffee. Jun 9, 2014, 5:08 AM

Well, 3am and something woke me up. Figured out the noise was outside because I got up, checked all in the house trying to be quiet so I wouldn't wake up Bill and I found nothing. Oh great, the noise was outside! So I looked for a flash light, turned on the flood lights and ventured out the door. I couldn't see anything but still heard the noise even louder. Decided to wake up my husband in case I fell in the yard or something attacked me, he wouldn't hear a thing or hear me yell for help! You know, like a bear or tiger, Oh my! LOL! Sleepy man and I went on the hunt in the yard with one tiny flash light, at the wee hours in the morning. Yep, found it! A pipe busted under the house and water running from underneath like a river! It was hitting the inside of the foundation blocks creating a loud rapid pounding and flowing and creating a hole in the ground and draining God knows where. So we made our way to the front lawn, found the water meter and worked to turn the water off fighting a bed of ants all the while. Now wide awake, I am up for the day and husband is sleeping like a baby. Thankful the noise wasn't a bear or tiger but I am  not too happy right now.
