i am afraid to ask

i am afraid to ask what else.....
marks mom was supposed to go back to linden saturday morning. but here it is monday and she is still in jackson. her lab work is off, potassium and other things, so linden will not take her until jackson gets her straightened out.
we had planned on finishing up painting and cleaning the new house and moving in by friday.
ha
so last night after church i go help mark paint some more. the kids and i go home, and i start a load of clothes. mark comes home a few minutes later and says, "who overflowed the potty in the kids bathroom?" i have no idea what he is talking about.
i should have never walked back there.
it has rained the past several days, lots and lots of rain.
our septic system was put in brand new 2 yrs ago when we moved to pyburn. this is the second time it has rained for days and days and days and days.
in the kids bath we have a lake that reaches into the carpet in the hall. this lake is not clean. the bathtub is full of a brown ocean as well.
go check our bathroom, mark asks.
i dont even have to open the door, as my feet feel the wet carpet outside our bathroom as well. the lakes in our bathroom arent as deep, and they are clear. but they are there, none the less.
forget it we decide.
we are not paying to have it fixed for 4 days. no way.
it was after 11pm. the kids were in bed asleep. so we slept as best we could till 5am, got up, gathered clothes and headed to my moms for showers.
mark has had to take off work today and tomorrow. rushing to try to finish up the painting. i am at work, subbing at the middle school all week. since i am a horrid painter, he feels i am more useful here than at the house.
rather than rent a hotel for the next few days, we plan on camping out on his moms living room couches and floor (she has no beds set up in her house, she preferred sleeping on the couch). we will be rushing around like headless chickens to get moved.
we are very grateful to the 2 families that have watched our children for us while we have been working to get the new house set up. we are very grateful to the 4 ppl that volunteered a few hours at the house.
we have hired a painter to help us finish, as there is no way we can do it alone on a time schedule.
as soon as they decide to send evelyn back to linden, mark will have to go back up there to take her clothes and sign her into the hospital. this will cut at least 3 hours into our rushed schedule.
i am frustrated by the people that have laughed (literally laughed) when i asked them to help us paint.
but, we will get there. we will be moved soon. life will go on. my family will be better off. and i am grateful we have each other.
