Woe is me!

Okay I have been feeling so much better lately and I have manages to really get on top of things around here. It has taken a lot of effort and patience with myself and my family. I am feeling really happy about my life. Tonight I was finishing up cleaning my bathroom, windows, laundry, dishes, light fixtures and some other crazy stuff. I was beginning to feel like " AHHHH This is the life I can do this!" I was doing all of this for the direct benefit of my family and myself and it is paying off for me big time! I even had a revelation, so to speak, today that I should even quit cleaning the 2 houses I am cleaning. I don't really need the money and without any commitments of my time like that I can totally focus on my family:) Oh so happy the thought! This is going to be great, REALLY GREAT! I know we are put through trials to help us and remind us to rely on the Lord!

So out with what is racking me now..Our septic alarm went off tonight at about 8pm. I went out to check out the grey tank and low and behold it is about 3 feet from the top...so NOT GOOD! I called Robert and , in a nut shell, his solution is that our household does NOT use any water to speak of until Friday evening when he gets home and can work on it to fix it. I had a small glimmer of hope when our old Home teacher came over at about 8:30 to pick up our Paselode nailer. He thought that he could re-wire the old plug so I could plug the pump in and at least we could use that temporarily, NO LUCK:(. See, what I didn't mention, was that Robert has wired the whole system...HARD wried it so that we can no longer plug it in...but something went bugger and here I am NO SHOWER <> for 3 days...I have no clue how people lived without these luxuries for so many years? Now that we have them can we really live without?

I have taped the toilets shut and supplied the bathrooms with buckets...gross I know...and tomorrow I am going to ask our neighbors if we can shower over at their house at least tomorrow night. This is all well and good but for anyone who knows me knows that I walk everyday and I sweat up a storm and I tend to side with the 2 shower a day method of living. I can make it a whole week at Trout Lake without a shower but that is camping and this is real life here. I can just go to my gym and hsower but what about my little darlings?HMMM????

Enough whining...this too shall pass but seriously...I am the only person in the world this weird junk happens to....I know it!

Cute Julie, so do I. Well not really, it just feels that way when the only TIME I have to shower is like 5 minutes before the kids get home from school at 3:30 pm. But that 's nothing compared to Danelle's insanity. I hope Rob can fix it.
