When it rains, it certainly does pour....

"Did you strap the refrigerator? The freezer? The oven?" are all questions an average person on an average day will never utter. "Are we tilted again?" Yes, yes we are. Why? Oh, yes, the tire is flat. I suppose that is something we should be prepared for, right? Oh no no no. We are not. It's raining and cold, and we set off to find jacks and somewhere to fix a tire before our home falls over. I giggle as I write this because it is truly too absurd! Dark, rainy, and cold envelope us as we crawl together under the RV to begin jacking up the left side. The RV weights 11,000 pounds. Add in two toddlers, two cats, and a retriever and it weighs more. With much grunting and twisting, we each get our individual jacks raised and our "home" even once again. I won't even get into the tiny detail that the socket we own is the incorrect size for which to remove the bolts that hold the flat tire on. That's a story for another time. So far on this little adventure I have not screamed or uttered obscenities regarding the situation. I have to smile.  After all, what else is there to do?
