    Unhappy Geez just when ua think......

    That everything has straightened out...........BAM it hits again.The heater went in the car. Dh fixed it and everything works fine. We got up Saturday morning to no water.The water pump quit. 15 degrees outside and here we are digging up the pump. Other than the expense it wasn't too bad until we had to tape the wire to the pipe. It's 125 feet long. Got reeeeeaaaallllyyyyy cold about then. Good news is after 9 hours we finally had water. (Just dh and I doing it so it took a little while in between parts runs). Is it me or does everything outside decide to break when it's 20 degrees or colder.

    I'm glad you have water now. I'm sorry you had to endure the weather outside today. It was in the teens here and it was bitter cold out as we ran our errands. I hope your water keeps working now .

    I feel for you. We just had our septic system pump go up. The day after we got snow, they were out digging in the yard to replace it. Cost us over $2000. Just when things are going well, something always comes up to screw with ya.

    Lately arod here its been like walking around with a dark cloud above our heads waiting onthe impending doom to hit. The water is running fine and gots lots of pressure. Toady its 5 with a wind chill of -14 so at least it didn't happen today while dh was at work. Here's hoping that everyone has no problems from now on. ( to the good luck gods. Maybe it will help? couldn't hurt)

    It's not you. A friend of mine called and her furnace went out this morning. It's 9 degrees out. BRRRR!!!

    I just bribed my teen to take the younger teen to a friend's house. It's so cold out it's worth the promised gas money not to have to go out. Aren't I mean? ha!! (it's funny how my teen is so eager for gas money)
