"Oh Crap!"....

Sherry sighed as she sank down into the hot tub. She could almost feel the tension seeping out of her tired muscles. Tendrils of steam rose upward, curling the loose strands of her upswept hair. The silken water caressed her skin, as tenderly as a lovers touch. She smiled to herself, and closed her eyes....

This is the part where my daughter and her friend, frantically knock on the door, yelling that the toilet in the other bathroom was overflowing. *Sigh. So, I say, is it just filling to fast and you think it's going to go over? NOOOOO....it's all over the floor and into the carpet....so what can I do? I jump out of my tub, throw on a nightshirt and run. Oh yes, they were telling the truth. I had at least 3 inches of water on the floor, and into the carpeted area. I call my dh who of course, doesn't answer the phone. So I call my uncle, and he says dh is there with him. He puts him on and I frantically explain...as the water is still coming out....and he tells me, "Go get a mop".  WTH???? I yell back, "This situation is WAY beyond mop...." and so he agrees to come home. (I found out later they were in the meeting and although I don't remember yelling, dh said everyone could hear me in the phone!)

So, right now the plumber is here, replacing our septic pump for a whopping $450, and I am taking a break from steam cleaning. Dh went back to work, and I am left with the clean-up. Dd and friend were *so much help to me. *enter sarcasm here. They sat at the computer, talked on the phone, played music and ate nachos. All this while I and my rubber gloves are cleaning up. The youngest, of course, in the middle of everything decided she had to go to the bathroom right now, and I had to run her over to my uncles house. Sheesh!

So, enough of my lounging in front of the computer. I must go continue my drudgery. Perhaps this evening, I will be able to finish thatbath....
