Hope you are able to get your pump repaired this weekend. It never fails...when you have company coming, something always happens. We used to have water issues...pump would lose its prime, sump pump in the well house would quit and cause pump to lose prime, etc. A few years ago we got up the morning after Xmas to no water. DH fiddled with it (he generally was able to fix) but he got frustrated and called a plumbing company. We ended up putting in a new pressure tank, submersible pump, and sump pump. Merry Xmas to us! LOL But, other than a frozen pipe a couple times since then, we have not had any problems.
