Shitter's Full

New day, new problems.

There is a huge hole in my front yard. A backhoe digging to find your pipes and septic tank seems to cause that (insert sarcastic smile here).
Not only is our tank full and needs to be pumped out but it is also all rusted and needs to be replaced. I was quoted approximately $1200 for the tank alone. So in the famous words of cousin Eddie (Christmas Vacation) the shitter was full. Yes I am in a festive mood right now.
The good news is at least we can run the water and flush the toilets. The bad news is the shower in the master bath seems to be draining right into the floor which then runs into the garage. There is no access space to it so the plumbers will be back to cut a hole in the wall so they can get to the pipe that apparently came loose from all the pressure of the water backing up. More good news is it has stopped raining so the roof is not leaking at this moment. The other bad news is Marcus's stomach pain is worse. It is in the same location as Dylan's was when he had appendicitis. We are off to the doctor at 2PM. That leaves Dylan to pick Bre up from school and watch her.
Oh yeah it is a freakin barrel of monkeys around here!
