Frustrated

Still no water. The well people came and said it was electrical, the main switch to the pump and we needed to call an electrician in. We did that - and someone came and did an emergency, temporary fix on Sunday until he can get the parts in to fix it later this week. Well, we still have no water. I'm hoping the well people come soon to look at our system and see if they can figure out what else is going on. Maybe something froze while the power to the well was off. Maybe the pump shorted out, although I sure hope not. We are down to 3 gallons of drinking water for a house of 6 people plus a 5 week old baby plus all our cats and dogs. We hope it warms up enough for the roads to clear so we can at least get to the store to buy more water to heat up and wash off with and to drink. We aren't able to cook and wash dishes right now or wash clothes but to be able to wash our hair and a sponge bath would be heaven.
Bree is having a lot of seizures, too. Maybe because of all the stress. She's having such a hard time. She sometimes forgets - and tries to turn the water on, actually we all are, and her dad will snap at her and she will start to cry and say she can't do anything right, that she's stupid and it breaks my heart and I will tell him to please not snap at her, it's just routine, a habit for her - and for all of us to wash our hands. As for flushing the toilets we are making trips to the lake and using that water for that.
