Basements!

[Poetgal]

 I hate basements and water and sewers right now. This morning we could hear water running down in the basement. So my Hubby went down to check it out. Here the sewer is backing up or clogged or something and the water is bubbling up out of the hole and bringing water into the basement. So, ya we have water in the basement. The thing is, we can't afford to call a plummer or anyone like that to fix it. We're still trying to catch up on bills right now let alone have the $ for that. Hopefully we can get a hold of a snake and get it unplugged. If we can't I don't know what we're going to do. We don't have the $ to pay anyone to fix the problem and we can't take out a loan to pay for it either because we have too many out as it is. I know I could ask my dad for help, but I know my Hubby won't want to do that. If we have to ask my dad for help with anything it makes him feel worthless and that he can't take care of his family. He is afraid of my dad thinking bad of him and that he can't take care of his daughter and grandkids. But my dad and I talk about just about everything. One of the things that we talk about is whoever I happen to be with. My ex-fiancee that I had before was not a very good person. My dad had come down to NC and IN when I lived down there with my Ex and Dacey. He could tell that Dacey was scared of him. He wasn't very nice to me either. He was never physically abusive to me or Dacey (that I know of). But he was very emotionally and verbally abusive. I ended up having my dad drive down to IN to pick up me and Dacey because my Ex had crossed the line. Now will my Hubby, Dacey respects him and knows when she does something wrong and gets upset when she disappoints him, but she's not scared of him. My dad and I both can tell that she loves him. There are times when he has to work alot and doesn't get to see her and she will get teary eyed and tell me that she misses her daddy and wants to see him. Yes we have had financial problems and my dad has had to help us out a little even a few times that my Hubby doesn't know about, but he knows that Dacey and I love him and that he loves us. Also he knows that my Hubby tries his best to take care of us. He doesn't just slack off and then get annoyed when things happen or don't work right. He does what he can. So my dad doesn't think that he is worthless or that he can't take care of us. But it still makes my Hubby feel bad when we have to ask my dad for help with anything. So hopefully we can get this water in the basement thing figured out. Otherwise, if we really can't get it figured out or fixed and REALLY need it, he will give in and let me call my dad to see if he can help. Anyhoo.....he called a bit ago to ask if the water quit running yet and if I had used any water. The water is still running and the only water we have used since he left was to flush the toilet when Dacey had to poop. So he said he was going to talk to his leadman and probably come home to see what he can do. So I should finish this journal entry up and make sure that things are picked up around where he would need to be working so there isn't things in the way while he's trying to work on things. Wish us luck!

Hope you are able to get the basement back to normal and soon.  I hope your DH  is willing to let your dad help if that is what it takes.  I will be praying for you.
