Tommy, sounds like you really need to get a handle on your system's boil off rate, loss to trub, loss to contraction, and loss to grain absorbsion. You can calculate EXACTLY how much water you need, and at what step, if you just put in the time to measure these constants, but it is unique to your processes and equipment. A program like BeerSmith ($22.00) does most of these calculations for you, and allows you to store the stats for your personal equipment so all of the numbers are automatically calculated after you lock in the numbers once. Well worth the $$$.
Specifically to your recent brewday, you can have checked your OG adjusted for temp during the boil. If you suspect you have too much water, just pull off some wort during the boil, toss it in the freezer for a few minutes to cool it a bit, and take a OG reading adjusted for temp. If your adjusted OG is too low, keep boiling until you hit your recipe OG. You'll get the hang of how much boil off you need to properly change the OG.
Hope that helps!
