Blow Up Toilets

Okay, I guess when it rains, it pours. On Sunday morning, when I went to take a shower to get ready for church, the toilet in our bathroom started to stop up. David got the plunger and do what all men do....plunge away as hard as possible so that water is slopping over the side of the toilet onto the floor. No luck. So, he tries harder....still no luck. I stand by watching the mess he is creating and notice that it is now coming up in the bathtub drain. I go out to the kitchen and realize that it is now coming up and over the toilet in the 1/2 bath off the kitchen. Lovely.... it’s always exciting to run around throwing towels on poopy water emitting from your toilets, shower drains and bathtubs while your husband turns the water off in the yard wearing nothing but his skivvies. The plumber fixed it by snaking out two sewer lines but warned that the trees in our yard may someday find that lovely water appealing and suddenly begin to grow their roots through our pipes, necessitating their removal and draining our already-taxed pocketbook.
The plumber didn't come until Monday and of course we had no toilets or showers to use soooo the boys, David and I head over to Mom and Dad's to spend the night on Sunday. David took the boys to Chuck-E-Cheese (Macon already had a scheduled birthday party) while I went back home to try to contain the mess. When I come back, mom has a fan blowing on the hardwood floors, all the furniture is moved and the rugs are pulled up in her TV room. Knox had used the bathroom upstairs and that toilet begin to leak. Water dripped through the recessed lights onto the floor below. Seriously!! All of this in one day. Marissa called and, when she found out what was happening, told us we are not allowed at her house!
I meant it when I said it rained and poured!
