SNAKE......a toilet

So if you know me, you know that I hate snakes. Deathly afraid of snakes, don't want em near me, don't want them behind glass next to me........not even the little ones. But I have discovered that I have toilet snakes even more.....

No before you envision some horrible, dark dwelling, poop eating creature....... I wish..then maybe I wouldn't have had the ordeal that we just went through.... and I say ordeal, because it was disgusting. Now for all those that choose to read further.....you are under special sisterhood oath that you will never discuss outside the blog realm (haha) my housekeeping skills!

So the toilet clogged, and I don't mean just any old clog, I mean, clogged and you can't even begin to make out what might be causing the clog......so I left it....

I know, terribly bad idea, but I figured, every once in the while the kids will use too much toilet paper and it takes a while to dissolve (cheap paper always works best, bad for the bum, good for the toilet!) I closed the door and told the kids not to use it. That was Wednesday night.... ( knew that I would have a gross toilet to clean, but I thought that way I wouldn't have to deal with it.)

Come Thursday morning....we flushed...still clogged... I directed the kids to my bathroom....I flushed, still clogged, I would deal with it later..... and then I forgot about it!

Thursday night, I walk into the house and upstairs...EEEWWWEEEHHHH......I think I will leave now! Obviously it isn't going to go away on its own. Plunge, plunge, plunge...not working......

So we run to Walmart, a short drive to the next town.....(thats right, there is no Walmart in our town! and I love it that way..... we only have a smiths and a couple of fast food restaurants). So drive to Walmart, which is good, cuz then I can finish getting the easter basket stuff....drive back. Don't go fix the toilet......who wants to do that!) actually I pretty much forgot about it!

Then comes the worst......JD was in there and flushed the toilet.....water everywhere.....not just water...poop water!!!! *^#$&@#@)(&$_@$*@#&*@&)*__))*$#

Can it get any WORSE? NO!!! That is the worse! So grab the towels.......no time to grab raggy towels...just use the white towels on the rack (Cuz they are so much easier to bleach... and who thinks that the toilet will overflow and that you will be grabbing the closest thing around! hahahha) Get out the Clorox wipes and wipe around the baseboards, because for some reason that is where all the nasty little toilet paper specks floated.......

Actually I made Chayce do that part.....don't you think this was a good time for a learning lesson...I thought so!

So we stick the snake down there...it doesn't go on its own...you have to push it down....with your hand.....and it doesn't go...so you have to push some more....get it all the way in and rotate...nothing...still clogged.....pull it out...start again...this happens three times...and each time we know that it is still clogged although the nasty water is draining...still floaters are coming back....By this time...I want to throw up, but I can;t do that...someone old me that as the mom...I am in charge!! REALLY???!!!

I finally shoved the snake in...hard...frustration building by the minute as I think that not only have I had my hands in nasty, poopy water, I will be paying the plumber to tell me that there is a clog in my toilet. REALLY????

The snake stops and will go no further, I finally pull it out...but now it doesn't want to come or go in either direction... PULL HARD! Out comes a Popsicle stick! Everything drains.....whew....now to clean a toilet that has you know what in it for two days......

Am I still in charge??? That means delegation, right?! hahahahahahaa hahahahahahaa

Ya my kids disappeared in like 1 nano second!

So add that to my growing housewife resume.....Experience with toilet snake...
