The flood waters are rising…

My plan for this weekend was to re-organize our front “storage” room where all of my cake decorating supplies are. Since yesterday and the massive amounts of rain we’ve been hit with, instead we’ve spent our time soaking up the water that’s leaking into that room. I hate this. I hate our house, always have. it’s always needed so much work and we just cant afford it. Dean’s been trying to patch it up today but it’s not helping. Thankfully nothing has gotten ruined as we’ve learned in the past how leaky our basement is and we’ve since kept everything in plastic storage bins. but the continually having to check and clean up water is annoying and reminds me how much I hate this house. It’s always something happening around here to depress me so I’m trying to let dean deal with it but it’s still stressing me out. houses in our neighborhood are going for twice what ours appraised for when we refinanced over a year ago, leaky basement aside, our house is bigger than those houses being sold and we could easily get double what we paid for it, but who’d want to buy a leaky house and better yet we’d have to buy something about the same size which would be more than we can afford, but maybe w/ the profit we could. who knows. I keep looking at real estate ads and wishing we could sell and get a house I might actually like. It’s a dream and I know that, Dean’s commited to this house unfortunately. at the time when we got this house it was a great deal for us and we were able to buy it at a monthly mortgage of something around what we’d pay for a rental someplace and it is a big house so it was a great idea. but even then I was against it due to all the work we had to put into it, work that still needs done 4 years later. I hate being a homeowner. On top of that, I hate rainy Saturdays. BLAH!
