24 hours without a home disaster..... (knock on wood!) The carpet layer is due here in about an hour so that my break the streak.

My husband is off to our soon-to-be hometown for meetings and will do some house hunting while he's there. Maybe I'm crazy but I told him if he finds the perfect house to go ahead and make an offer. I should probably tell him to check all of the toilets and make sure they're all new!!!

by the way, i'm not a clinton fan either. anyone who says, "i never inhaled" lost all my respect. how stupid does he think everyone is?

mykids-i bow down to you! i have done drywall, helped build motors, lay tile, and even did a few assemblies of toys, etc. but never changed a toilet.

I have bragging rights with the neighbors. In the first four years in our new house, we had to take apart and remove the powder room toilet at least seven times. Our youngest son was potty training and would play "water go down the hole" with match box cars. WELL after the third time I took the cars away and he fount other items to flush down. Finally I turned off the water to the bathroom and directed everyone to another bathroom. In the meantime I finally got the three hour window I like to take apart the toilet and get out what ever it is that is stuck. This time my hubby decided to help....anyone else see the red flags...and proceeded to let me start dinner as he tightened the bolts. He cracked the toilet base so bad I thought the whole thing shattered! Did you know guys a home depot are not very funny at 9:30 at night? No one thought it was funny when I asked for a self plunging, unbreakable toilet that only three boys could use.

Couple weeks ago a friend of mine was in a panic because her toilet needed replacing (actually and old model) and she didn't want to pay a plumber. Yeap, I went over and changed out her toilet.

I would take Bill over Hillary. She just never looked like someone you could just say "Hi" to. Not sure even if there are women in this country ready for that job. Or should I say, a husband that is willing to take the back seat!

My kids would just watch the toilet over flow. If they spill something, they just look at it. One time I was at the ice rink with my 10 yr. old and (we lived a mile away from it) my 12 yr. came in and found us to say that the toilet was over-flowing. They tried plunging but couldn't get it to go down. Had to go home, shut-off the water and show all of them where the turn-off knob was, then go borrow a wet/dry shop-vac from the neighbor. The water leaked all the way out into the hallway and hall closet. After I sucked all the water up then I had to get out the carpet cleaner.

I guess toilets and I don't get along.

By-the-way, I'm not a Clinton fan either. I bet one of us could run this country. No problem!!!!

Poor old Fat Max - he's old and declawed - so Hillary may still stand a chance....
