ways to tell that i am having company tonight:
1) house is clean.
2) fridge full of fresh groceries including appetizers!!
3) kids wandering around looking puzzled at clean house and non-chicken nuggety food
4) candles are lit everywhere in an attempt to hide the swampy basement aroma (nothing says "welcome" like musty basement*)
5) wine!
6) i am cooking!! there are fresh vegetables and spices and i am not even going near the microwave, honest.

*i spent a better part of the day fighting back the water as it flooded into the basement...again. i hate it. i feel helpless. but buckets of water later, my new kick ass uber fan, and constant emptying of the dehumidifier seems to have it at least under control.
i was going to write a cliched post about how fighting back that water when it was completely out of my control is like fighting the depression without meds....you get the idea. i am going to write a depression/add post at some point but it is hard to put into words and i don't want to write about it as some plea for sympathy...so it sits in a draft.
