We have been living a septic tank nightmare the past two days and I just don't have enough energy left to go into all the smelly details. But I've got to remember some important things we've learned through this trial:
1. Beware of "flushable" wipes! They will clog your drains and plumbers will tell you to never use them.
2. If you have more than four people in your household and you have a septic tank, you really should have it pumped SOONER than every five years. The more water that gets used by a family, the more often the septic tank should be pumped. We were just told that ours should be pumped every 1-2 years.
We had a clog AND the tank was full/overflowing. It has been incredibly disgusting, but we finally have almost everything cleaned. Housecleaners and carpet cleaners are coming tomorrow so maybe we can try to get back into our normal routine again.
My faith teaches me that the calling of Christian homemaker, wife, or mother is just as holy as one to "full-time ministry."
I am a mom of seven children ages eight and under seeking and sharing helpful tidbits learned during this season of life. May we glorify and enjoy Him each day!
