More Water?? HOW can this be??

Yes, now I have water in my bedroom! My socks got wet as I walked across the floor this morning. I had noticed it was damp in a spot last night, but dismissed it as the kids getting it wet with their wet feet from the tub. It is soaking wet under and around my night stand. There is even mold in one area! UGH! Will came over to take a look ( He even did a test with food coloring in the bathtub to check if it was coming from the tub... no such luck.) and we called around to get some estimates on doing the dirt work. As best we can tell, it is the same story; it is coming in through the weep holes. On my side of the house, the yard slopes away, but the weep holes are covered with dirt. Our plan, we think is to lower the landscape pretty much all around the house and be certain that it slopes AWAY from the house.

Please pray that we can get some solid estimates, that these guys will show up when they say they will be here (one already didn't show up today; he did call 1 hour after he said he would be here), and that we can get this done quickly and that it will work. Thank you so much. Prayer works!

I need to go take some pictures of the damage and I really need to clean off my desk... at least I think there is a desk under here somewhere!
