Sometimes I wonder how I've made it through life all these years. I wonder how I managed to get through a bachelors degree - and almost a masters degree - plus keeping a home and having a baby.
I wonder this because at times, I do really stupid things. I mean really stupid.
Like the other night, when I was cleaning the house. I saw a wonderful idea on Pinterest I just had to try. Why? Because Pinterest said I should and some pinner who pinned this pin a million times before me, swore up and down that it was the best cleaning tip since the invention of the vacuum cleaner. You're sold, right? I was too.
Never mind the fact that it sounds ridiculous in hindsight. I mean, hello, did I not think it through? Naturally, this "tip" failed in a big big way.
What was it, you ask? Well. This Pinterest pin said to take one of those fancy Magic Erasers, cut them in half, and put one half in each toilet. Let it sit, it will dissolve, and then you'll have the cleanest toilets this side of the Mississippi!
I told you I wasn't thinking. I told you I have stupid moments. Yes, I tried it. Yes, they clogged both toilets. No we did not have a plunger anywhere in sight (ummm I know I bought one at one point in time but I guess we've moved sixteen thousand times since then). And yes, they clogged at 10pm when we were getting ready for bed.
I dragged Phillip out of bed while I tried to handle the soaking wet floors that were pooling up from the overflow. He drove to the store to get not one but two plungers - I wasn't going to take any chances. He came back. I became a master plumber. And we're still dealing with slow running toilets. Ugh.
I'm stupid.
