Water Pump Issues

Recently our water pump had been losing pressure. Someone would have to go in and "turn it off and on again" (IT Crowd reference, if you haven't seen the show it's hilarious.). So Jon called the people who put the well in, and they came with their truck. Then at one point there were two trucks. Apparently the piece that sits in the well at the bottom was sitting in YUCK. Once he pulled it out to replace part of it he couldn't put it back in as deep. So long story short something is going on with the well. He'll be back at some point with a camera to cram it down in there. Hopefully by doing that, they'll be able to see if there is anything concerning going on. In the meantime he replaced part of the pump and the switch in the house. Now our water for a little bit is brown, dirty water brown. We'll deal with this for a few days till things in the well settle out again. In the meantime so I don't ruin any of our good cloth diapers washing in dirty water, we've switched to pre-folds and covers. I'm washing her overnight diaper now, like I always do (they are so cheap that if they get ruined it's not a giant deal to replace them). I'll probably wash tomorrow, or Friday morning depending on what the water looks like. Great thing about pre-folds is they clean up easily, and don't hold on to the stink like microfiber does so I can go a little longer before I wash without issues.

We changed Kaylee's schedule a little. She now goes to bed at 8pm with the other kids. Up until this morning she had been getting up with them. This morning she slept till 6:45am. I was completely surprised. I guess she is finally realizing she can sleep later then 6am. That or the kids were quiet enough that she was able to sleep a little later. I'll take it.

Well that's all for now.
