...and it is pouring here! Our hall way bathroom has a broken toilet, the washing machine broke yesterday afternoon, and then Phil called to say that his transmission was blown and that he only had 2nd gear in his car. Can it get any worse? Uggggg!!
It started a few weeks ago when Jimmy got sent up to clean the bathroom. Apparently he scooped up some things from the floor and thought that they would all flush. Well, all of them did except for the HAIR SPRAY CAP!!! Now all of you that remember Jimmy's toddler years will get a good laugh out of that because he flooded our toilet more than once between the ages of 2-4 and he did it with many funny items! So, what better person for this to happen to, right! Well, for a couple of days the toilet was completly out of commision but then it seemed to fix itself because we were able to use it again. Then earlier this week it over flowed. Phil got out his plumbers snake, took the toilet off and did all that he could do to try to fix it. The cap is stuck in the toilet right where we can't get at it!! It is a done deal, we need a new toilet. So we are now living with a hole in the floor of our bathroom until payday when we can run and get a new toilet. Too bad that our Joe isn't Joe the plumber!
That would have been no big deal except yesterday I was doing laundry when all of the sudden it sounded as if the washing machine had a bowling ball in it. I ran down to the basement to see what was going on and lifted the lid. The center stand in the basin was completly broken off and flying around with all of the clothes. Phil is going to work more on that tomorrow when he is off and we sure hope that he can fix it.
The worst news was the news of his car! We can live with one bathroom and I can go to the Laundry Bin to do laundry, but we NEED him to have a car. Worst case scenario he will take the van and I will have to miss some of my classes on the days that he is working. I am hopeful that we will get it fixed before we need to take that drastic measure!
On a happy note the old saying goes that things come in threes so I feel like we have paid our dues for a while. I can only hope that the universe agrees!
