Blocked in...

The road in front of our house is in the process of being replaced. In addition to this work the water company is also replacing the water lines in front of the house. As you can imagine this make for a huge mess and inconvenience. I looked out the window just now and there is a 6 foot trench in front of my driveway. Not only is the trench that wide but it is also that deep. I couldn't leave my house if I wanted to do so. I realize they have to do what they have to do but I had no warning that my car was being blocked in the driveway. I had intentions of taking the children to the grocery store but that is going to have to wait until the work day is over. I will be very, very glad when all of this work is over and we have a nice new road to look at it.
