Plumbing Extravaganza

Many years ago, I aspired to be a home owner. Now, I think I'd just like to live in an apartment. 

I will never forget Richard Logan, a wise man from my hometown, telling a story that ended with, "The toilet in your house never backs up until it's 5:45 PM, your wife is throwing a party that starts at 6:00 and Hutcheson is out of town." {Mike Hutcheson is the town plumber]

For some reason, I've never forgot that story. In the 11 years that Scott & I have been homeowners, our plumbing has never backed up. And wouldn't you know it, it happened the day my sister and her family arrived in town to stay with us for 3 days. That Mr. Logan is a wise man. 

While Scott worked furiously on the plumbing, I took the kids to a hotel. And my sister took off for my parent's house. I would totally have done that too, but Nate is in Lego camp this week and I did not want to disappoint him.

Was I calling every 5 minutes asking if he had called a plumber?

Would y'all believe me if I said No?

Didn't think so.

In the end, he did fix it and cleaned up all the mess before we got home this morning. He's a plumber in training.
