ahhh, the joys of home ownership...
so, the weather has SUCKED around here lately, tornadoes, flash floods, severe thunder storms, etc etc
anyway, last night, it pours...i mean POURS the rain. i walk downstairs and realize that water is actually coming INTO MY HOUSE under the back door!!! FUCK! So, I venture outside and realize the entire back of my house is flooded, the back porch and lawn are under water.
so, hubby and i go to work trying to create a damn dam to keep the water from coming in under the door. Then i smell something. I tell my husband he's disgusting and could at least walk into the other room before he farts like that again. He argues with me and tells me he didn't do it. We get huffy with one another and go on working. I complain AGAIN....it REEEKS. He gets pissed, we finish attempting to stop the water and I head upstairs to see what's playing on pay per view, meanwhile, my husband stays downstairs to watch the Bob Ross episode he taped today. Next thing you know I hear him yell "SHIT!" as loud as I've ever heard him yell. I come downstairs to discover why it smelled like SHIT. the sewers can't keep up with the water and our shower and toilet have completely backed up with SHIT WATER all over the bathroom.
So, we spend the next hour or so sucking up shit with a wet vac and trying to figure out what to do to keep it from happening the rest of the night. I got out to the garage to get a bucket. and THE GARAGE IS HALF FULL WITH WATER. the drain the back yard has clogged and it's like we live on a frickin lake.
anyway, i was about to break down when our neighbors came over to ask for help. we walk into their basement (also a finished one with carpet and everything) to discover that our house was like a desert compared to theirs, as soon as you touched the carpet water pooled up through it and over your foot up to your ankles.
Needless to say, today was clean up. I went to a laundromat for the first time in about 7 years to wash all the towels and clothes that were laying in the shit by our washer and dryer.
i'm SOOOOO glad i own my own home...ugh
anyway, what's been up with you all?
