Hi there!
Dean and I are so excited to be gaining so many friends. This is fun!
You know what isn't fun? Plunging a toilet. The B&B is in full swing with renovations and there's workmen in and out all day long. So, I guess it was bound to happen. But, the thought of unplugging a porcelain bowl so graciously ladled with 230 lb workman waste at 8 months preggers was not a task I wanted to undertake. However, the bowl runneth over and over and over and Dean was in town buying lumber. So, I had little choice. Well, "little" NOT being the operative word by far. I had to give "McSteamy" kudos here...this was a two ton turd that seemed invincible. It coiled in ways I've never seen a snake do before.Good for him for having such a well balanced fiber filled diet but this brown beast scared the crap out of me! And, I'm NOT shit shy. In fact, I'm a Poo Fanatic and a fart joke fan to the extreme.I even have the childhood cartoon books "The Gas We Pass" and "Everybody Poo's!" proudly displayed on my mantle while my unused copy of "War and Peace" collects dust buried in my sock drawer.Hey, I'm a self professed and midly obsessed Poo Lover and not ashamed to admit it. Shits funny! Just not other people's shit. Now, some may say... HEY, your about to have a kid get used to it! But, somehow wiping the babysoft bottom of a 7lb little being created lovingly with the man I adore doesn't seem so bad. Neither does the collecting of mini tootsie rolls that shoot out of Mimi La Rue's ass everywhere she goes. But, this was ungodly. Yet, when I set my mind to a task I go full steam ahead. So, I rolled up my sleeves, grabbed my plunger, and dove in. I plunged my little heart out when suddenly a miracle happened... the toilet flushed! SWOOSH...and it was all but a distant stench. I was left repulsed and exhausted with a sore forearm yet somehow I felt PROUD! I mean...lets face it, growing up I never had to plunge a toilet . I didnt even know what a plunger looked like. So, it felt like an accomplishment to this girl. I strutted out of that wasteland with a new found respect for septic tank cleaners and a smile on my face. It just goes to show you--- When life hands you CRAP, you plunge away!-- Tori xoxo
