TODAY WAS AN EVENTFUL DAY. I THINK EVERYONE WOKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED THIS MORNING, I HAD ALL 4 KIDS GOING NUTS, CRYING, WHINING, YELLING, FIGHTING, WRESTLING...ETC....I COULDN'T EVEN HEAR STACY ON THE PHONE WHEN SHE CALLED ME THIS MORNING (SORRY STACY :) I WAS READY TO PULL MY HAIR OUT BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GET ALL 4 KIDS READY AND MYSELF TO GO TO JOSH'S COMPANY GOLF OUTING AND LUNCH AT THE CLUBHOUSE, AND OF COURSE I WANTED TO "ATTEMPT" TO LOOK HALF WAY DECENT BECAUSE IT'S A WORK THING, BUT INSTEAD I LOOKED LIKE A FRAZZLED MOTHER OF 4....GOTTA LOVE IT.....WE HAD A NICE STEAK LUNCH, JOSH'S GOLF TEAM CAME IN 4TH PLACE OUT OF THE COMPANY, BUT THEY ONLY GAVE PRIZES TO THE TOP 3....THANK GOODNESS AFTER WE ARRIVED THE KIDS DECIDED TO ACT A LITTLE BETTER. WHEN WE LEFT THERE AND CAME HOME WE WALKED INTO A HUGE STINKY MESS!! WE HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH OUR OLD "NEW" HOUSE. AND THIS PLUMBING PROBLEM WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH SINCE WE MOVED IN. IT FINALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHEN OUR KITCHEN SINK WOULD NOT DRAIN AT ALL, SO I COULDN'T USE IT OR THE DISHWASHER, AND I TOLD JOSH, WE HAVE TO GET THIS FIXED TODAY. SO MY DAD, THE KIDS FATHER DAN AND JOSH ALL STARTED ON THIS PROJECT. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO CUT INTO A 4 INCH OVER 50 YEAR OLD CAST IRON PIPE, AND WE ACTUALLY HAD TO CUT A BIG SECTION OUT AND REPLACE IT WITH PVC. IT TOOK ALL DAY TO CUT THROUGH AND WHEN WE FINALLY DID THE HOUSE FILLED INSTANTLY WITH THIS HORRIBLE POOPY SMELL, I STARTED HAVING THAT GAG THROW UP REFLUX....AND THEN THE BOYS CALLED ME DOWN TO THE BASEMENT TO CHECK IT OUT AND THE 4 INCH PIPE WAS COMPLETELY, COMPLETELY AND DID I SAY COMPLETELY PACKED FULL OF THE NASTIEST, SMELLIEST, BLACKEST STUFF, I AM SO GLAD THAT I WAS NOT THE ONE CLEANING THAT SUCKER OUT. SO I HAD TO TAKE A PICTURE OF JOSH COVERED IN THIS NASTY CRAP (SORRY FOR THE EXPRESSION :)
I REALLY HOPE ITS FIXED FOR NOW, AND ONE DAY WE WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK BACK AND LAUGH ABOUT ALL OF THE STUFF THAT WENT WRONG ON OUR OLD NEW HOUSE IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS.....
