The biggest splinter ever!

 If you're easily grossed out stop reading this and go read this. If you're still here please read on.....

 I told you that we live in an old craftsman style house with old pipes and old wood floors. Well this is what happens when you have boys running through the house. My son yells "mom I have a splinter!" And knowing that they always act like they're dying whenever they bump themselves I yell back "oh you'll be okay. Let me finish folding the clothes and then I'll come take it out." So, he hobbles into the living room and this is what he shows me........

 You better believe that sucker bled. We had to cut the skin covering it so we could pull it out. And yes, mommy felt a little bad for thinking it was a little splinter, no big deal. I guess that means I should jump to the rescue next time. My bad.

NO WATER!!!

UGH! That's how I feel today. We live in an older craftsman style house and well, we have to deal with all of the wonderful things that go along with that such as, galvanized pipes which means sand and all that yucky stuff come through and clog up the pipes leaving us with yup, you guessed it .. NO WATER!

 First, the water heater goes out so all we have is cold water and now the lines are clogged in the kitchen. I don't know which is worse, dirty bodies or dirty dishes! I guess I could go do the dishes in the tub but really that's pretty disgusting too! I'll just wait it out one more day and hope that the plumbers can fix it tomorrow.

 I may just go buy paper plates. Oh, I can hear all of my "green" friends screaming in terror right now but, you gotta do whatcha gotta do to keep your sanity and if that means contributing to the destruction of the environment well, that's what I'll have to do. At least I'll have a squeaky clean family even though our kitchen will be disgusting.

 I'd take a picture of our disgusting kitchen but, I'm sure in your imagination it's looks worse so, I'll just leave you with that.

Happy dirty dishes to you all,
Shawna
