the runs...still...and water?

yesterday, hannah woke up with a messy diaper. she's never had that before! it had also leaked out the side a bit. yuk! so she got a morning bath.

both this morning and yesterday morning, we were at our neighbor's across the street in the cul-de-sac. they have 2 daughters (m & l) and hannah really enjoys playing with them. both days, she brought me socks and her shoes and stood at the door, wanting to go out. she went out and headed towards the m's house. she knocked on their door...and i eventually held her up so she could ring the doorbell. hannah liked playing over there. they have a great princess playroom, lots of toys, and dress up clothes. their grandma cookie was there both days and we talked.

unbeknownst to me yesterday, hannah still had some GI issues. i thought she was done after waking up with a messy diaper, so i had her in a cloth diaper under a cloth cover for potty training purposes. since i was just letting her go outside for a bit, and i didn't plan on playing at the neighbor's, i didn't have her in pants and i didn't have anything with me. hannah just headed over to their house in her cloth diaper and cover/panties. we ended up staying for awhile. and well, she ended up having another BM and had a huge runny mess! it was soooo gross!!! i had to bathe her at the neighbor's (bath#2) and put her clothes in a plastic bag.

then in the afternoon, after her nap, she had more messy diaper! so in the evening she had bath #3.

this morning, we went to the neighbor's b/c hannah headed over there again. but today we had on a disposable. about the same time as yesterday, she had the runs AGAIN! so i took her home and bathed her.

she was fussy and tired, so i put her down for an early nap. i think she's sick. the runs can't just be from allergies. i think she must have a virus or something.

anyways...so this afternoon, i'm getting ready to clean, do laundry, wash dishes etc...
well, they've been working on a pipe/plumbing problem in the cul-de-sac by the m's house for months. i knew they were going to turn off the water for the m's house today. well. it turns out they turned off the water for the whole area...b/c just as i was in the middle of laundry preparations and washing/cleaning in the kitchen - there was no more water! i turn on the faucet and nothing. whereas a few seconds previously, there was still water.

i go outside and ask, "did you turn off the water for the neighborhood?" and they say yes. and i ask, "how long?" and they reply for TWO HOURS. ACK! UGH! ICK! I'm SOOO ANNOYED!!! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF THEY'D INFORMED US. TOLD US. LEFT A NOTE. ANYTHING!!!

so the kitchen, dishes and laundry are just sitting there... good thing I hadn't STARTED the washer yet. I was just about to start it too. I wanted to wash my hands, and I couldn't. I can't FLUSH the toilet. Good thing we have water in the Brita and bottled water so I can drink.

and hannah's "rinsed of poop" clothes are in the washer, sitting. begging to be washed. yesterday i had run home, donned disposable gloves, rinsed the nasty mess in the toilet, flushed multiple times, and put the diaper&panty in oxyclean and let it soak till this afternoon. i had removed them from the oxyclean and given them a few more rinses...and thrown them in the washer... but hadn't pressed the start button. thank goodness.

but it doesn't help that i'm still ANNOYED at those workers out there. i dunno if they're city people or Hogan homes plumbing people.
GAG. how inconvenient!
