You may be wondering what in the world these two things have to do with one another, well, you shall soon find out! Here is a little insight to my past week.. So just like every year with every child I have been in search for that "special" birthday outfit, esp. with Lilyan's 1st birthday just around the corner and getting ready to take her to have pictures done. I came up with having her wear a tutu and a cute birthday shirt. So as the search goes, I have been to some boutiques that have really cute tutu outfits but of course they want over $100.00 for them which I am NOT about to pay, so out to the mall I ventured last week to look and see what I could find there. I went into Crazy 8's and saw a really cute hot pink tutu that I wanted to get (and was glad when they actually had it in her size) but since we were awaiting pay day and scrounging by until then, I couldn't afford to get it. *Sigh* I was really disappointed because for one, I was really glad that I had found what I wanted and it matched the shirt I had already picked out, and for two, I knew that when I would have the money to come back and get it, it wouldn't be there (because that is just my luck!) Sure enough I go back a couple of days later and wouldn't you know... they are all sold out of her size! So I figured I would just get a size bigger and pin it to fit but the lady says they only have a 3-6 months and a 3t, so no can do! I was going to order it online with a cute headband but with shipping and all it would have been close to 30.00 so I figured for that price I could try to find something of better quality and might as well go and try to look at a dance shop downtown that I thought may have what I was looking for. Which finally brings me to the highlight of my story!
So after lunch the other day I decided to pack up everyone and go see what the dance store had. We get to the store and I tell the lady what I am looking for and she shows me several options that would work, which I of course was thrilled about and LOVED!! I found one I liked and almost choked at the price of $40.00, esp. considering all the bills awaiting me at home! The battle began in my head over should I get it, or shouldn't I. So as the debate is going on my two oldest kids say they have to go to the bathroom....ok, no big deal right.... WRONG!! Allison goes in and comes back out and I thought Jonathan went at that time as well so everyone was happy.
At this time I had decided to go ahead and get the skirt since I am sure it will be well worth it for pictures and I can re-sell it later on. I am in the process of paying when Jonathan says he has to go to the bathroom and that he didn’t go before. So in he goes…. 5 minutes went by and he was still not out of the bathroom! I go in to check on him and he says "I need help wiping my butt" and I tell him " You are almost 7 and you can do it just like you always do" so he says "okay mom, get out of here", a couple minutes later....still not out of the bathroom, so I go back in and help him at this point because he is taking his sweet time and I am ready to get the heck out of this place and the baby is starting to fuss. As I flush the toilet I realize that it looks like it is going to overflow so I start plunging which is not working...keep in mind I am also holding my 11 month old on one hip and plunging with one hand! NOT EASY!! So I call my 15 yr. old sister in to take the baby and give me two free hands to work with on this nasty mess my son has just made!! After or so minutes of plunging this nasty, stinky toilet, I had gotten no wear! It wasn't budging!! I finally had to go out and tell the lady that I am sorry but the toilet is clogged and I cannot get it to unclog. I asked her if it clogs alot considering it was an old toilet and she says "only when kids use the papertowels instead of the toilet paper" GREAT!!! Allison didnt flush the toilet beforehand and I guess she used the papertowels (which were right beside the toilet on a roll like toilet paper) plus the toilet paper I used on Jonathan so you can imagine how much paper was in that toilet! So at this point in time I feel so embarrased and apologize ALOT but am also wondering why in the world they would put paper towels on a roll dispenser right beside the toilet and expect the toilet not to get clogged by young children!! Use your head people!! So a trip that should have taken approx. 10 minutes turned into a 30 min. + trip! Needless to say I was glad to get out of there and feel semi bad for the lady whom I am assuming had to put on some really long gloves and dig up in there to get all that paper out( amongst the other things)! I know you guys are probably saying “EWWWW” LOL! Hopefully I didn't loose you all in the scheme of things and you all found that half as ammusing as I did! Welcome to my world:)
