Our main toilet clogged up last week with no easy fix in sight. Donnie was sure we needed a new toilet as he couldn't get whatever was lodged in there out. I insisted that he get that toilet working Friday night because I was having a party at our house on Saturday afternoon.
I had Ladies Night Out on Friday, so I was unable to help with the bathroom. (bummer, huh?) I can tell you that I regretted that. LNO was fun, as always, but returning home was not so fun. It was like the Twilight Zone.
When I walked in the house I was immediately angry because the kids did not get the house clean as instructed. (that should be the name of my blog, The Kids Didn't Do Their Chores, Again) I was ticked, because I had to be at LNO, and in the morning I had a club meeting to go to. Then 45 minutes at home before the party. I didn't have time to do all the detailed stuff myself.
So when I walked into the bathroom and saw the toilet when I was already mad, I may have over reacted just a little bit. However, I am still right.
The toilet is not an ordinary toilet. It is small. Sam could easily get himself on and off of that thing. When I sit down on there my knees are at my shoulder. My, um, bottom touches the toilet lid when I sit there. We could just as well be squatting over a hole.
It gets worse from there.
Donnie found a major manly toilet that he wanted to get, but he didn't because it only came in white. The toilet that was in the bathroom when we bought the house was bone. So he figured he should get the same color so I wouldn't get mad. ( I LOVE white, white walls, white appliances, white sinks, tubs AND toilets) Cody and Donnie search hard to make sure the toilet seat was the same color as the toilet. Both said Bone. They even opened the toilet box to compare the color. They both agreed that they were the same. Um, no. The seat is white compared to the toilet.
It still gets worse.
The tank is a "green" tank, to use less water. Great, water savings would be nice with 7 people using the toilet daily! But you have to flush the toilet 4 times to get a piece of toilet paper down. And you have to hold the flusher down the whole time. Each time. Where is the "green" in that?
I insist that the toilet goes back. Donnie doesn't think they will take a toilet back. Especially since we used it. And that it was on sale. And that he doesn't know where the receipt is.
It is going back today. They will take it back. I am furious. it was a $180 toilet on SALE. It better work. I could even tolerate practically falling down when I sit if it at least worked. But if I can't just flush and go, there is a huge problem.
That is today's goal. Get the toilet back to the store and come out with one that works.
3 people think my kids are qtpies:
LOL what a Cra**y situation to be in....That so reminds me of the potty's at kindergarten where you can put your chin on your knees when doing "business" Hope you get a potty that you are happy with. I would so die for one of those "John's) that flush themselves, to be even more greedy one that cleans the seat too!!
I hope that they will take the toilet back! How aggrevating! I know Terry knows a few good toilets by name. He installed one in his friend's house, and his friend still thanks him for the royal throne! He raves about the flush~ lol.
I hope that it all works out, and hey, maybe you can get white instead??
Missed you today at church! If you want to order some Pampered Chef, let me know. Or, I can keep the party open for a few days after if you want. Talk to you soon~
Hope the situation at the store flushes better than the toilet did!!!
