Don't take your plumbing for granted

Ugh yes.  I am posting about our plumbing situation because it suuuuuuuuucks and I want to scream.
But yeah:

So either a pipe became disconnected or a pipe broke underground.  Either way, the front yard needs to be dug up :( and it's going to have us dropping some cash.  And to think it all started with a little boy flushing his pants.  Which actually may have helped us notice the problem sooner.  As if the raw sewage in the stationary tub wouldn't have tipped us off.

In an effort to save us from spending $1000's my husband, aka. superman will be digging the hole himself.  I have never seen a hole this big dug but he does this for a living.  So God bless him and his shovel.  I am gonna owe him big time!!  We will be watching from the window.  Once the hole is dug we will have the plumber come because obviously I am scared of this:

SO until it is all fixed we will be following this little saying "if it's mellow, let it yellow" and in case you didn't know the laundromat isn't fun with 3 kids.  I can think of a whole bunch of things I want to spend our tax return on:  some gold tory's, new jeans, a new coffee table.  I did have to pull the trigger on this little beauty:

Meatball has gotta understand right?  I am stressed.  Which means I shop and clean!!  Which reminds me to tell you how awesome are these little things:

No more spray and sponge for me.  Anyway, Happy Flushing!
