footer being a pain

so my footer is acting really wierd. It was working before but now there is this wierd spacing and when you scroll up it follows the page and creates extra space. The idea was to have a sticky footer that would always stay at the bottom of the page via http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/sticky-footer/ . The code for the scss is here:

html,
body {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    height:100%;
}
#wrapper {
    min-height:100%;
    position:relative;
}
header {
    padding: 1em;
    background:#EFDECD; //#5ee;
    text-align: center;

}

#content {
    padding: 10px;
     padding-bottom: 80px;   /* Height of the footer element */
}
footer {
    display: block;
    width:100%;
    height:5em;
    position:absolute;
    bottom:0;
    left:0;
    background:#EFDECD; //#EFDECD
    text-align: center;
    overflow: hidden;
    a{
        padding: .75rem;
       // position:relative;
        top: 1.5em;
        display: inline-block;
        font-size: .72rem;
    }
    p{
        font-size: .72rem;
    }
}

video{
    width: 100%;
    height:auto;
}
//header{
////margin-top: 3ems;
//    background-color: lightgrey;
//}

//footer{
//    height: 5em;
//    background-color: lightgrey;
//    position: relative;
//   bottom: 0px;
//   width: 100%;
//
//}
.label{
margin-left: .5em;
    margin-right: .5em;
}
table{
font-size: .75em;
}

.panel.callout a:not(.button):hover{
  color: $anchor-font-color-hover;
}
.headtext{
    display:inline-block;
 //   font-size:3em;
    margin: 0 5em;
    text-align: center;
 //   font-family:"Courier New";
  //  font-weight: bold;
 //   margin-left: 6em;

}
.img2{
   // max-height: 20%;
    max-width: 25%;
    float:right;
    display:inline-block;
   }

.accorborder{
border: black dotted 1px;
}
h6{font-weight: bold;}

Once I removed the position absolute the footer dropped to the bottom. Remember to check The W3C when you get stuck.

footer {
    display: block;
    width:100%;
    height:5em;
   // position:absolute; REMOVE THIS !!! //
    bottom:0;
    left:0;
    background:#EFDECD; //#EFDECD
    text-align: center;
    overflow: hidden;
