Worst Day Ever.

This morning the toiled overflowed like crazy for no reason. It basically regurgitated the last flush. I noticed it when I went into the bathroom and, since the water was low, I just flushed it again. It must have been clogged pretty deep with something, because it had been making funny noises for a few days, and today was the day it wouldn't plunge. I plunged and plunged and plunged and cried and plunged and screamed and plunged and cried. But the water kept coming and the plunger wasn't working. The water spilled all over the floor of the toilet room and continued into my bathroom, along the walls and did not stop until it ran onto the carpet. I wanted to throw up, but I knew I was the only one here to clean up the mess.

So I got the shop vac (I thanked God for that thing quite a few times as I was crying and whimpering), cleaning supplies, locked Raiden out and stripped down so I could gt started. I was forced to get on my hands and knees because this wasn't just some regular cleaning (those of you who know me, know this is bad). I wanted to make sure every particle in every corner was cleaned. I went over the floor once and then did it again, and again. It took me almost two hours to clean up everything that had been contaminated. And I still haven't gotten everything because the toilet is out of order, so I just cleaned it as best as I could. And the shop vac still needs to be cleaned out, which I will so graciously allow my husband to do when he gets home. It was a very traumatic experience for me, and I never wish to relive it again.

Meanwhile, my son was left to roam free while I took care of the toilet. The first thing he decided to do was play in his poopy diaper that I hadn't tossed out yet. And Raiden has never tried to do this before (fortunately I found him before he touched anything). So poo was the theme of the day. Next he decided that he wanted to watch his favorite movie Cars, which we watch at least once a day. When I finished everything up, I found it shoved halfway into the XBOX disc player. Fortunately, the player doesn't seem to be damaged, but I am pretty sure the disc is ruined. I tried playing the movie and the player was having a hard time reading it. I am going to work on it and inspect it further. If that movie is ruined, my life will be ruined.

I just remembered that Raiden also got into my FULL jar of cinnamon, which I use all the time for bread-baking, oatmeal and such. He was covered in it when I found him, and I can still smell it when he's around me.

It is almost noon and I have this errand that I have been needing to run for weeks. I was finally going to go today since my grandma is in town. She was going to come with me and help with Raiden. Now it doesn't look like I'll have time to go, since it takes a long time and it takes me so long to get anything done, anyway.

I truly feel like I have done something to deserve this. Things just keep piling up. Why????
