All better...






Well, the good news is we can use our bathrooms and showers. The plumber came this morning and did his thing, thankfully he didn't rob us either, which was refreshing. Now we can drink liquid without thinking about the consequences. Although, I will tell you the boys had a blast sprinkling the back yard with their "waste". Mamas and Pop (who live 12 doors down) left this morning for a little weekend getaway so we now have two houses to use, for sleeping, swimming, pottying, what have you.

This morning I decided to pile the kids in the car and go to Adventure Island, our local water park to escape the bleach smell my mom was about to leave all over the house (God bless HER-because it needed it). It started out great, the kids were enjoying themselves and having a ball. Jackson even went down "The Everglides", a 72 foot drop water slide. Am I nuts for letting him? I may be, but he met the height requirement and wanted to go. HE LOVED IT. His face getting off was priceless and as soon as he climbed out, he wanted to get right back in line. Matt loved it too, I wish I had taken pics but I was holding RJ who was having a slight meltdown because he DIDN'T meet the height requirement. That's when the storm came...

We shuffled over to save our towels before the downpour and found a nice spot to wait the storm out. This is Florida. Storms last 10-20 minutes, then the sun comes out again. Not today. We waited. And waited. And waited a little more. It wasn't going away. I called Ray to check the doppler, and he informed me that no, it wasn't going away and in fact there was a tornado warning for the next county over and we had better just shimmy on home. Faces of disappointment all over. They actually took it well, and we came on home and we've been hanging out. It's still nasty out. But at least we can use our bathrooms;-)

Did the plumber find out what caused it?

Glad you had a nice 1/2 day at the water park!

He thinks it had something to do with the tree roots (that darn tree has caused us so many problems).
