One less bathroom for me

A couple of weeks ago I went to an enrichment meeting that was about cleaning and organizing your home.  One of the ladies that spoke about cleaning mentioned that she had recently taught her 6 year old to clean her toilets.  I must say my ears definitely perked up when I heard that.  I thought if her daughter who is six can clean their toilets, then Ethan who is also six can definitely clean ours.  Cleaning bathrooms is by far one of my least favorite tasks to do, so I thought if I had just one less bathroom to clean a week, I would be one happy mommy.  I was right :)  Yesterday I taught Ethan how to clean his whole bathroom…shower, toilet, sink, and floor.  He was very apprehensive at first and a bit dreading it, but once he got going, I could see the pride in his eyes as he was doing it.  He wouldn’t even let me help him get the hard to reach places, he wanted to do it all by himself.  It was so wonderful!!  So all of you who hate cleaning bathrooms as much as i do…Ethan is proof that a six year old can clean a bathroom and do a mighty fine job doing it.

Straight From A Horror Film

The most horrifying thing happened to me a couple of mornings ago. I was calmly flossing my teeth, listening to music, when all of the sudden the drain stopper popped out of the bathroom sink. I thought to myself, ‘that’s weird.’ Then a few seconds later black water came erupting out of the drain. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This has never happened to me before. It terrified me! About 5-10 seconds later more water came spouting out. It did this several times over and each time I was so scared I screamed. I felt like I was in the middle of a horror movie and I was about to be attacked by a poltergeist. To top it off, when it was finally done I kept waiting for it to happen again, expecting it at any moment. Then all of a sudden a nerf dart landed on my head (the boys shot some nerf darts on the bathroom ceiling a few weeks ago). It freaked me out. I was being attacked from all directions. Needless to say our bathroom was a disgusting mess afterwards.

Luckily the plumber said there was no sewage involved…still very gross.
