Flooding

On October 3rd at 6 am we woke up to a puddle of water in our kitchen; coming up from the drain in the floor. We ran upstairs to the people showering and said that they can not shower until they get this fixed. As soon as they stopped showering the water started to drain. I called our landlord as soon as they opened and were going to get someone to come fix it; by five thirty I still had not got a call back from our landlord. The water at this point had drained. That night Darrell and I sat down to watch a movie and then we stopped to put Addie to bed and noticed that the people upstairs were showering again and we had a kitchen full of water again. So we ran upstairs to tell them to stop showering and figured it would drain just like the morning did. We figured we would wait until morning to call for help. We went back to the movie and after it was over Dare took a step off of our carpet in the LIVING ROOM and "splash" he stepped in a puddle of water. Apparently the water, not like the morning before, did not drain but kept flooding while we were watching our movie. The water was in one corner of the living room  into the hallway and covering the kitchen. We decided that this was ridiculous so we called in the emergency phone number and were in for the adventure of having people come unplug the drain and dry up the mess. During the wait Darrell filled up our trash can with water and dumped it outside. I believe he dumped out twenty gallons of water! Wow. Now we have little red stickers around our apartment where there was water damage done. They have been there for about three weeks now. Addie has now decided to start picking them off the walls and I'm not stopping her. If they were going to do something about the wet wall than I think they would have by now. Now is our decision to whether we will stay here next year or move on to a new apartment. Oh moving is so much effort though.
