Plumber Mum

I have spent the last few days trying to fix our kitchen sink on and off. The poor kids have gotten neglected a teensy bit as far as quality time goes. If they needed anything they would come find me, cross legged on the floor taking apart the pipes under the sink. All of the plumbers I called couldn't make it out until next week and I was going crazy without my sink! Today a good neighbor offered to borrow us his plumbers snake. Mr. Stannix tried it a few times, and then had to run to a meeting. I'd come this far and I wasn't about to give up no matter how much my body ached from hauling buckets of non-draining water out of the sink. I snaked it three more times, pouring boiling water down in between each. I finally cleared the blockage by some miracle in the late afternoon and might have jumped up and down a few times in the kitchen. The kids could also be found jumping for joy, they had their mommy back! We ordered pizza and spent the rest of the day at a nearby park to celebrate!
