Backing Up
Posted on 15. Jun, 2011 by Kate in Farm & Family
This is probably why I didn’t post anything the entire month of April. Our septic backed up into our unfinished (thankfully) basement. I love clorox. LOVE. IT.
To correct this problem we had to call in some heavy duty equipment which the boys thought was the most entertaining part of spring break.
Besides camping out in the living room that is.
Once the septic tank cap was located,
we called in another big truck
to pump the septic tank.
Then more trucks and diggers came to extend our drain field so I won’t have to buy stock in the clorox company–though that’s not a bad idea . . . hmmm.
And they cleaned everything up so nicely. I’m still wondering if the basement floor could use a fourth clorox wash. What do you think?

I am the mother of six learning to live in the country surrounded by in-laws. I've been married to the amazing Nate Palmer for 17 years; he is teaching me how to be a farm girl. In my spare time (okay--time I try really hard to set aside), I like to write. My first book, FALLING AWAKE, will be published in September 2012 with Covenant Communications.
A True Short Story
My first published work entitled "More Than Pinecones" is in this collection of true Christmas stories.

Yikes! Little boys have so much to teach us about perspective.

You’re right, Jenni. They seem to find the fun in everything.
