See how happy this woman is? That's me. RIGHT NOW. Why? B/c... I tend to um...flush things I shouldnt down the toilet... Q-tips, cotton balls....yeah... Well, it caught up to me...in a BIG way.
Steps in my previous hour:
1. Toilet overflowing.
2. Gracie trying to drink the water.
3. Calmly close bathroom door and head to Reasor's.
4. Buy drano without hesitation.
5. Get home, go in bathroom. Read bottle... "Not for use in toilets."
6. Pour some in anyway.
7. Toilet WAS slowly draining. That comes to a halt.
8. Go to the bible of toilet fixing...aka google.. aka wikihow.
9. Put on rubber gloves and went back into the war zone.
10. Poured hot water into toilet....then plunged...then repeated....and repeated....and repeated...
11. Used unbent wire coat hanger and tried to jam it up the toilet. Stupid move.
*Please insert Gracie whining outside the door this whole time and my hair falling in my face...and a few expletives....*
12. After some dedication to the cause...and lots of hot water and plunging, I am a plumbing GENIUS!!!!!!
This really was TMI and way unecessary, but I feel oddly proud. Whatever. I will never flush qtips again...or cotton balls...or....the lid to the razor (oops).
And..now I have a funny taste in my mouth. I have determined I swallowed drano (this is impossible b/c my mouth wasnt near it at all). I will blog tomorrow if I live through my imaginary drano swallowing.

you are brilliant! hooray!
that's disgusting jackie
Andrew used to flush Qtips (eventhough I told him not to) until we had to call a plumber out and he said that there were a bunch of them clogging the toilet. ugh I love I told you so moments!!!! Good plunger work though love!
I'm impressed! Good job!
oh dear. there are like ten different "motherly" things I want to tell you right now (e.g., flushing cotton balls wastes water)
glad it's fixed, though. and high five for taking care of it yourself!
I have a feeling of pride as well after I successfully accomplish a "man job" or something I never thought I could/would do alone! You go girl!
