Septic...YUK!

Life is never dull, I’ll have to say. We have not had a working septic system for going on four days now and it was acting up for three days prior to that. We are hoping the fun ends soon with a working septic system. I must say the people in Enid are very kind and helpful and because of their quick help we now know what the problem is but can’t seem to get a plumber on the weekend. So, Joseph is doing a little part time plumbing work. He has decided that he will continue in his current profession as a pilot and leave the plumbing to the professionals after this weekend. The low point for me today was when I told Joseph that I needed to use the bathroom and he asked why I did not go while we were out. I said I did not need to go then but I do now! My husband always remarks how we should be like pioneers, so I said I could just go out back like a pioneer and he said what about the neighbors plus pioneers would not go in their own backyard. So, after that fun exchange I headed to the closest gas station but there was a train and I was not going to make it. So, I pulled off on a dirt road, which was very muddy from all the rain, and stopped, got out, and started walking quickly. All the cars passing by I’m sure were wondering who the crazy lady was walking down a muddy road in her church clothes caring a purse in a BIG hurry! At this point I did not care what anyone thought…I just needed a tree. So, I found my tree and took care of business as the train rolled by and the horses grazed in the pasture in front of me. And so the adventure goes on…

We did try a different church this Sunday but think we will either keep looking or go back to the first church we tried. (This church did have very nice WORKING toilets!!! This was a huge blessing for us!!! And no one ran away even though we have not been able to shower in a while!!!) We are finding it hard to find a church home. We don’t want to hurt any ones feelings.

Joseph should be home from Lowe’s soon with what he needs to fix the septic system. I’m praying it works and we can flush again, do laundry, wash dishes and shower. It could be a BIG evening for us!

Andrew is enjoying having kids near his age in the neighborhood to play with. He knows our neighbors better than we do already. He is our little social butterfly. He also has added a box turtle and a horny toad to our growing family. Mark is as funny as ever – he just makes me laugh. He enjoys learning and is into the movie “Cars” currently. Justin is smiling and making more and more great noises. I just love holding him all the time. Joseph still loves his job! And I’m busy with the kids, homeschooling and getting involved with the ladies in the squadron & OSC.

Praise GOD!!!!
WE HAVE A WORKING SEPTIC SYSTEM!!!!
My man is fabulous, spectacular, amazing and brilliant! I have the dishwasher going, laundry started, and I have been flushing the toilets just because I can! It is the simple things in life…the JOY of working toilets! Next, SHOWERS and BATHS for everyone!
