Toilet Trouble!!

What a LONG weekend we have had around here!!! LOL. The whole weekend has been focused around the great white porcelain throne!!! UGH! First of all we got a nasty 24 hour flu bug that we passed through the family!!! So we have been taking turns hanging over the one toilet that works in the house!

Normally we would have 2 toilets but that has been yet ANOTHER toilet issue we have had this weekend! My dear sweet little son decided that flushing an Easter egg down the toilet would be a good idea....... I found him staring down the toilet as it was flushing with plastic eggs all around on the floor and thought to myself..... "I hope he didn't just do what I think he just did..." and of course he HAD! So Saturday morning while Braden and I are puking our guts out Scott got to spend a good few hours snaking half of the plastic egg out of the toilet. We are pretty sure the other half is still in there... indefinitely..... Scott said "we will just have to stop using that toilet until we move....." YEAH RIGHT!!!! I could tell he was fed up with it so I left the subject for the weekend. HAHA

Then yesterday morning I was putting the toilet seat down, when the lid came CRASHING down on my thumb!! OUCH!!!! Now it has a nice tender bruise on it and I can't do much of ANYTHING without hitting it and then I think "what a nice reminder of how CRAPPY (pun intended) our weekend was!!! HAHA. I do need to tell you all that Scott is GREAT at putting the lid down when he is done... EXCEPT when he has been puking! LOL

ANYWHO.... So that is how we got to spend our Easter. Scott and Amalyssa were both feeling fine on Sunday so they got to go enjoy church services... oh and I found out Saturday night that Amalyssa had a talk to give in primary... SHE NEVER TOLD US! So Sunday morning while I am still feeling crummy I get to throw a talk together that I didn't even get to see!!! Sigh... such is the life of a mother. Scott and Amalyssa got sick Monday and Monday night (respectively) But we all seem to be on the mend now so hopefully we will be done with our toilet issues by the end of the week.

Well the GOOD news is that EVERYONE can leave comments on my blog now!!! The default was that you could only leave a comment if you have a blogger account. But I found out I could change it to allow ALL comments!!! You will be an 'anonymous' user so I do ask that you SIGN YOUR NAME at the bottom..... so I know who is leaving me comments!! I just KNOW you have all been DYING to leave comments for me to read!!!! (haha)

Here are some picts of the kids on Easter. Amalyssa in her Easter dress... and Braden NOT in his Easter outfit!! LOL

You know dear, I've always said that plumping is a double four letter word. ;)

sorry to hear about the flu bug! that's a major bummer! at least it was on the weekend so scott was there for amalyssa. good luck with the rest of the egg. good to know that it causes major problems (I'm going to put away all the easter eggs right now.)
