History repeats itself again.....

AARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today we received somewhere in the ball park of 3 inches of rain.

and when it rains like a freakin monsoon outside sometimes we get water in our basement. 

but the only thing that GUARANTEES water in my basement is the combination of monsoon type rain mixed with my F'king husband being out of town!!!!!!!!!! 

IT.NEVER.FAILS.

NEVER. {read my old blogs, the proof is there}

So I'm sitting here, assuming that the little "trickle" that the boys yelled up to me about a few minutes ago was from the leaky bathroom faucet that ultimately drips into our basement whenever we do baths/showers.  few drips here, few there, sometimes a little stream to the drain.  its a part of life til we decide its major enough to invest in a plumber to come out and fix it for $300+

SURPRISE!  it wasn't from the bath, cuz i see a wet pair of dirty kids underwear on my laundry room floor in a different spot, {SOAKING WET!}

The "dog" room has water on the floor.... then after further investigating... my NEW vinyl floor that we just laid... has water across it.  AND UNDER IT!!!!!!!!  Come the fuck on!!!!

thankfully, the plus side is that its not 3-4 inches of water like the last major ordeal...but still.  Water in my newly tweaked basement is bound to PISS ME OFF!!!!!

So of course this week, brian takes the dehumidifier BACK to his parents house after it sitting in our basement for 8 months.... all the fans are in the garage attic, oh.. except for the one he put in the gazebo.  but since it rained 3 inches, the stupid thing is SITTING in water. 

So let me think... bring it in the house to dry the basement floor...  plug it in and ELECTROCUTE myself. 

GOOD PLAN!

Didn't i say something about how i give the single parents props yesterday?  and then i went to get a drink??

Well today, i cracked myself a frosty {beer} and tried to avoid a meltdown.

Brian's friend came over to help me investigate, cuz i can't move the heavy ass couch by myself. 

Saw that the water was coming in behind it, not thru the floor storm drain access {good thing?} and left it out from the wall.  The back of the house, I have no idea whyyyyyyy its leaking. 

So all i can say is that if the rain god(s) are listening.....  ENOUGH ALREADY!  Don't make me send you the repair bill!!! 

now where's my beer?
