I need some peace and quiet!

To begin with Happy Mother's Day to my readers.  Yes, I know I'm late.  I have had a few unbelievable days.  people think once the kids are grown and gone that life gets easier.  Most days it is. 

It all started with the rain we started to get on Sunday. Monday, Tuesday too.  By Tuesday we had enough of it.  I needed to wash just one sheet for the dogs.  Not much water.  Yes, Bob had already said easy on the water.  The drain field was getting full.  Like I said, just one little load.  I set it and forgot it, until Bob yelled, "There is water on the floor!"  Oh no!  I went to look and it was in the laundry room.  I know the cause of it.  That one little load did it and only half the water was drained.  At least it was clean.  Bob went and got the new carpet cleaner I just bought.  It cleans up bare floors too.  It did a great job.  Now to let it dry.  We also set the fan to help it along.  No more laundry till it stops raining.  I do know better.  The floor was nice and clean!

Wednesday morning I hear this yell, "Water is on the floor."  Aw, come on, let me sleep.  Yep, I bounced out of bed and ran down the stairs.  Sure enough there is the water.  The septic needs to be drained.  I got them to come right out and proceeded to start cleaning the laundry room again.  The floor cleaner works good.  Glad I bought it.  On with the fan again.  They came out and drained the tank and as soon as I ran water in the pipe it came right out.  UGH!  A blocked pipe.  Making another call I got someone to come and clean the pipe, but not until after 3:30.  We were going out to dinner with friends, not now.  Sorry.  The guy got there and had the pipe opened in minutes.  Now we must clean up the mess he made.  Now the floor is really clean.  I have had enough.

After eating a quick supper it was time to clean up and get dressed to go out.  We were going out to see Frankie Vallie & the Four Seasons.  It at least made us both smile.  We had a great night I just wish it lasted longer.....
