When it rains...it floods

Yesterday marked the beginning of an interesting series of events that I can happily say are behind us for now.

1) Seth took Aidan to the potty and it resulted in a major poop and pee fiasco with Aidan walking in it and smearing it all over my bathroom rug. Lesson: Never let husbands take children to the bathroom.

2) After removing rug from bathroom and taking downstairs we discover several inches of standing water in our laundry room and closet. It appears that the main drain in the house is clogged!

3) Fast forward to Monday: trying not to use the water so as not to add to the problem downstairs proves to be a little tricky.

4) Drain is cleared! Apparently roots with the help of some diaper wipes were the problem. Diaper wipes? How did this happen? Oh yes, Lesson 2: Don't forget to mention to your husband not to flush diaper wipes down the toilet.

5) To celebrate the fixing of the drain, I go to the bathroom only to discover our poor toilet is clogged.

6) All is well...and there are no more incidents to tell of at the present moment.

The END.
