So this was a SPECTACULAR Mother's Day.
I wake up at Shaylyn's, go over to my Dad's house. Now, most of you know how my father and I's relationship is, and with the addition of him throwing out his back, it didn't get any better with his constant "FUCK!"'s and "GODDAMN MOTHER SON OF A BITCH!"'s.
So anyways, I'm chillin on the computer (as usual), and my Dad yells to me "Hey! Go check the cellar for water!"
"OKAY DAD."
So I go downstairs, expecting maybe a little bit of water and BAM!! 6 FUCKING INCHES!!!
"SUP 6 INCHES!!?" Aaaaaaaaand my Dad tweaked out.
So after scurrying around the house for an extension cord to find it on the kitchen table under a newspaper, we try to pump the water out of the house. WRONG. The pump's broken. So we drive up on to my uncle's house and accidentally go the way with alllll the flooding. Genius! So then Dad makes a point to drive to the common so he can see the water. Because we apparently DON'T have enough in our cellar.
Anyways, my Dad drops me off at home so I can shovel buckets of water into a garbage can and carry it out to dump onto the yard. So I go upstairs, blast some Ace of Base and start shovelin'. So my Dad comes back because my uncle decides to bring the pump to us. So we have this pretty good system going where he shovels (give or take) 6 5-gallon buckets into a garbage can and I roll it out.
All of a sudden I walk in and I'm like, "Dad, I smell gas."
"Very funny, Eleanor."
"No, Dad, I'm serious, I smell gas."
So he sniffs and we walk over to our gas converter and HELLOO GAS FIRE!
So he's all "CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT!! NEVERMIND I'LL DO IT!" (Cause apparently, I can't handle it). So it basically was a race from the water rising to put it out and the fire actually getting to the gas. Who knows how it started.
So 2 fire trucks, 2 police cars, 2 ambulances, and 2 other cars with flashing lights full of chiefs come on over and by the time they all get here, the water has put the fire out. But BOY OH BOY there were some BABES in fire-gear.
Anyways after they leave, we're still waiting for my uncle to get there and we're still doing out sweet-ass system. So finally we decide stop because we've emptied four inches of water. I went upstairs and changed and now FINALLY I get to see my momma.
Happy Mother's Day!
