Uber frustrated!
Yep, I said uber. No, I don't know what it means, but I *think* it's along the lines of "super duper" and I am DEFINTITELY super duper frustrated. Not to be confused with the annoying purple dinosaur who would say "super dee duper" frustrated...
If you're a fellow facebooker you may remember that last summer we had some plumbing issues, a few days before my inlaws were supposed to come visit. The symtoms were gurgling bubbling toilet water and drainage/sewage backing up into the bathtubs and showers... pretty nasty. The result, the plumber came out, tore up a section of our front yard and told us that a pipe had been pushed lower in one area then it should have... so they raised the pipe and all was well. Until this morning that is, I was in the kitchen with the boys and I heard a gurgling noise... now Aidan had just returned from the bathroom so I thought maybe that was the problem... but no as I rounded the corner and continued down the hallway the smell from last summer assulted my nose. And as I stood at the entrance to the bathroom I could see large bubbles in the toilet water, much like watching a pot of water boiling on the stove...
Several thoughts ran through my mind... Why me? Why now? This stinks (yes, literally too)! I thought they fixed this last year, why is it happening again? Don't I have enough on my plate at the moment? For crying out loud!
Called the plumber... they can't get out until tomorrow morning. Awesome. Just awesome. So I guess until then we hope nothing *worse* happens and I light about a zillion candles. Have I mentioned how AWESOME I think this is. UGH!!!
**Update**
So... plumber came out this morning, and left about 30 minutes ago. Of course, the toilets were behaving normally then. Ladies, reminds me of when your car is making a noise, but doesn't ever make that noise for your husband or the mechanic.... As I sit here typing this (the office is right across from the guest bath) I can hear the toilet gurgling... and this is my life. I need a vacation! Anyone want to buy me a ticket to a remote island somewhere that doesn't have plumbing issues! ?
