Shelly in IL Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 My basement utility area flooded because my drain needs snaked. My wonderful neighbor snaked it while I was at hockey, and when I came home my whole house smelled like sewer! We almost threw up! It took hours to air out! Two days later, I don't have a kitchen sink because it is massively clogged. This is still clogged by the way...my mom goes into hospital and almost died, is recovering well now, both my kids are sick, I'm hormonal and my husband left for the war. This all happened this weekend. I am also having the boy scout troop to my home tomorrow, and it's a wreck due to all of the above! So, I'm a mess of stress! I really don't like weekends, no rest, just more running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Can you ask someone else to host the boy scouts? Sounds like you really need the extra time to get things back to normal. Having people over makes all those other problems so much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pageta Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I say, cancel the boy scout troop. People will understand. And your drain may not be fixable via snaking. You may have a root in it or something that is causing the issue. Get a plumber out to diagnose it so you know what you're dealing with. It's much easier to deal with a defined problem than a mess or a problem that might be fixed by taking a certain action. Totally worth the house call fee for a plumber in my POV.

Kim in Appalachia Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 :grouphug: Oh my goodness. You need to get a plumber. I need to cancel the boyscouts at your home. They will appreciate not smelling backed-up sewage. :grouphug: You may also need to take 2 or 3 days and just cancel everything in order to get your life back under control.

Josie Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Cancel the scout event. Just do the essential things until you feel like you have regained some semblance of control. Ok, ok, that may be when all the kids are out of the house, but so be it! Now, if I could just take my own advice! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetMissMagnolia Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 :grouphug: :iagree: I agree with the other posters as much as I'd like to do it all,I'd just have to cancel hosting the scouts..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in IL Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 They were cysts and not tumers. benign! Very thankful to still have my mom after this weekend! Scouts will still be here. It is already an alternate location so it will just be too confusing. Did I mention that I will be out of the house all day tomorrow due to co-op? At least my attitude has changed. I had felt pitiful and sorry for myself. Now I feel like "Towanda," off of Fried Green Tomatoes. I can do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemMommy Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 HUGS and PRAYERS!! I try to picture myself as riding over the tidal waves of life....hoping an upbeat mental image might help. But, I get sucked into the disasters all too easily. Sounds like it is time for something to come off your plate...or for a friendly plumber to show up! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutor Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 :grouphug: Your thread title made me smile... that's exactly how I'm feeling (although in my case it feels like a bad country song). Praying for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
