Sewage and Swelling

Seriously, that's what we're dealing with tonight. The two are not connected except for the fact that they are equally annoying and making us incredibly grumpy. DH is dealing with the sewage, I am dealing with the swelling.

So tonight we went out to work on our Christmas shopping some more.... trying to get it all done before LO arrives. My feet were incredibly sore and swollen but we have so few opportunities left for just us to go out and about, I was trying to deal. When it hurt to the point of tears though I finally spoke up and we came home. We showered, and all of a sudden everything stopped draining.... not only that but it all started getting pushed back into the house. Yea... turns out our septic system is full. So DH (just after our shower) went out and was up to his elbows in sewage trying to figure out if there was a clog or if the septic is full.

It has not been a fun night here at our house... and now looks like we have a $300 bill to pump our sewer this week. (This on top of the $133 ticket I got the other day for not being inspected). LO isn't even here and we're broke!!! What a way to begin the weekend.
