Christmas Eve, going crazy with Christmas preps...
But finally, today, we have a functional toilet! Ours had been leaking and then plugged. Now it FLUSHES!!!!!!! *happy dance*
By the way, WHY would the plumber need to repeatedly use our MICROWAVE? Must ask hubby about this when he gets home from shopping.
Also, I have to rant for a moment about the suckiness of my brother-in-law. We had volunteered to watch his two kids today before the family gathering, and so I decided that since this is the ONLY time the kids (K-Girl, age 2; K-Boy, age 6 months) had even been to my house... I was going to make it special. My brother-in-law was going to drop them off on his way to work (he works 5 minutes from our house), about 2:30... and then I decided that K-Girl and I were going to decorate cookies together. I bought packages of cookie cutters, sprinkles, all the fun stuff my mom and I had when we made cookies together... scrubbed and child-proofed my house... got the cookie dough ready...
And waited...
And waited...
And waited...
2:45 he called... he was running late, and decided to drop the kids off at our aunt's house instead. I am still BEYOND disappointed... I had been talking about this at work, how I was going to make cookies with my niece and was so excited... Grr.
So basically, I will see my neice for maybe 5 minutes, and hold my nephew for a max of 2 minutes before the aunts (who see the kids all the time) take him out of my arms...
People suck.

That does suck, bummer! Did you cath up in the end with them?
May it all work out for the best for you all! Wishing you many lovely, peaceful and joyful moments for a very merry Christmas, Jana~Hugs
Hurray for working plumbing. I'm guessing the putty the plumber was using may have needed to be warmed up to make it easier to work with? Or maybe he was warming his coffee?? LOL!
I'm sorry you didn't get to decorate cookies. Your BIL probably didn't have any idea that it would upset you or that you had plans for the kids or he may have been more courteous. The plus side is your house is now clean and you and James can start a tradition of making cookies together?
Love ya!
I would be very disappointed as well and a bit put out.
Maybe you and the kiddies can reschedule for a fun day?
Ohh dang! I'm sorry you had to deal with that. And he called at such a LATER time!! Horrible. I hope you still had a good Christmas. *hug*
Jana, pop over to my blog, I have some wonderful news!
Working plumbing can make a great difference in your life - once many years ago I lived in a very small ghetto house in Ft Lauderdale Fla. Our toilet declined to work and I was forever running out to local stores. Then our bathtub bottom cracked and fell in (it was only concrete) and we got snails. It was an adventure.
Happy New Year! Here's to hot water!
Missing you posting! Hope you are doing ok.
