We've come undone

We had a heat wave.  Then we had an AC that did not work well.
Our regular service came out and gave us a scare story about it being ready to blow up or give us all carbon monoxide poisoning.  We did our usual and had the local gas and electric come check.  Um - not.  Lost that service, but I'm collecting quotes JIC.  In the mean time a couple hundred re-charge has us working acceptably, if not well.

At the same time we developed a slab leak.  We had the plumber come out very promptly and cap and reroute.  Should have been end of story.  Only he missed.  The slab leak continued.

At this point - well we have had 3 plumbers come, all of whom dissed the products and workmanship of the others.  We have the kitchen floor and some drywall gone and the big dehumidifiers in place.

The kids can sleep with the noise.  I sort of can.  We sleep here.  We can't actually cook however.  Mr M can't sleep here - not at all.  We have him at a hotel, where he still can't sleep.

We are all tired cranky and the adults are depressed in every sense of the word.  I have the kiddos at school (almost) as much as possible to keep them out of the havoc zone.  There may be more school hours in store yet (expensive).

Plumbers come Monday to do a real fix.  Maybe one or two more days of giant fans and a closed down house.

We need all the prayer and help we can get.  We have lots more to do, and we are both weary, weary, weary.

We appreciate all those who lift us up.  Thank you.
