Good morning great friends. Monday I was jumping for joy that I was getting back in the swing of things. Seriously jumping until a problem arose.
Monday early evening I had to have Russ rescue me from an overflowing toilet. Don't laugh, I am QUEEN of the toilet paper. It's no surprise to hear me say… "I clogged the toilet!" As always, Russ comes to my rescue like a true Prince and tries to fix my *situation!*
Unfortunately, Russ couldn't fix the situation. He said call a plumber in the morning. I'm not sure what could be going on.
Fast forward to 11:30 pm. Right before I was crawling into bed I had to potty. I decided to use Brandon's potty. The toilet wasn't flushing. Russ AGAIN comes to my rescue but this time we figured something is terribly wrong. That statement was definitely evident when we pulled back the shower curtain and I almost fainted. DISGUSTING!
We are on full fledge plumbing outage! CRAP! Literally!
A call to our Home Warranty service was in order right away after I had the city make sure their was no blockage on their end.
Warranty people sent out a plumber around 4pm. (Thank you for being so FAST Mr. Plumber, I normally only pee every 8 hours… NOT!)
Mr. Plumber comes out and has a chip on his shoulder. This is not cool for a girl who has a chip all over her body from having to get in my car to use the restroom. He promptly tells me that my Home Warranty would not be covering the issue. *say what?* I would have to pay $350 so he could get on my roof and "snake" through my vent up there. He never came into my house to even see a toilet. *I can tell that HE and I are NOT going to be friends and I have to PEE!*
Russ races home from work, the situation gets ugly and Mr. Plumber leaves.
I looked at Russ and said, "Awesome! I have to pee!" Still no working toilets. Meanwhile neighbors are starring at us!
The rest of the evening I pouted. Nothing is more fun that meeting your neighbors to say, "Hi, I'm Kimberly. Can I use your potty? Can my kid shower here?" Obviously they are gracious enough to help us out but seriously I've got one foot in the nut house!" NOT how I wanted to meet them.
So no projects put together. I'm working on a banner. It's half way complete. I can't concentrate!!
I'm too busy pouting like a 2 year old and spending money at Target on Starbucks and stuff I don't need all because I had to use the POTTY!!
Today I sit waiting on plumber #2.
Russ sent me this text this morning so I can look at the BIG picture of the things going on here…
Time to run to Target before the plumber comes….
XO

Man! I feel your pain! It's so bad there is no way to make that up! But you still managed to make me smile and even laugh today. Thanks!
I can't wait to SEE this scrapbook page 🙂 Kim you are the only person I know that can make the ugliest of situtations turn beautiful! Smile Russ is right….
so how is the pool coming along or dare I ask?
Hi Kimberly!
i do sincerely sympathize with you about your plumbing problems. What a way to meet new neighbors! 😉 I was chuckling at your storytelling skills as I read your post, but when I read that you were waiting on Plumber #2…..I couldn't help laughing out loud!! I know you weren't intending to make that a joke, but you have to admit…it fits!!
Here's to hoping for a quick return to normal around your house!

Hope things are better now! You, your blog and your fabulous personality that comes through everything you do, are a blessing to me! You are an example of authenticity and a role model! Thanks!
I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh, but I could see myself handling the situation the exact same way! You know if you drink coffee you will be visiting Starbuck's more often.
FYI. As I read your post, I caught myself singing. Pee-ple who need Pee-ple are the luckiest Pee-ple. Well you now know your neighbors! I hope today was better. Hang in there.
Oh I'm so sorry, but I had a smile on my face the whole time I read this – hee hee 😉 Yah, it's a little bit of a bummer you met the neighvors under these conditons, but hey, is it really that bad? They understand I'm sure! And think of all the laughs you guys will all have later on. I love your husband's text, too; looks just like the ones my husband sends me when he knows I'm having a rough day with the kids, or with whatever in this crazy life of ous is going on (it's the only way we get though it all; we laugh at a LOT of it!).
Seriously, I hpe you're taking pictures of all this – hee hee 🙂
So sorry to hear the situation has not been remedied yet – hopefully today? I think I will pass on seeing the scrapbook pages for this one though…
To pile on with everyone else's posts on this…you ALWAYS make us smile, laugh. No matter what your challenge, you turn it into a moment to cherish (thus, Russ' text…). I do hope you get to "pee" soon in the privacy of your own home, instead of driving down the street or borrowing your neighbors restroom… 🙂
Your "Prince" is indeed that…what a lovely text message he sent to you….all the while he is not involved by not being at home….none the less, he is a sweetheart! SOOOOOOOOO very sorry about the plumbing issues – they are the most disgusting and unbelieveable that the plumber was such a jerk….hope you reported him to your home warranty company…and sending best wishes that the second plummer was your saviour and that your issue is taken care of! Will look at updated blog updates to see how things are 'flowing'…sorry, could not resist!
