This morning is a first for my beautiful, wonderful Aegwyn.
We put her to bed at 9pm. She didn’t wake until 4am. I was able to change and feed her and then get her back in bed by 4:30am. OMG! Is this my baby? No 90 minute fuss-a-thon? Thank you, baby, baby! We love you anyway, but this was a giant gift.

Tagged:So. We’ve been in our ‘new’ house since the middle of January. Last night… the toilet in the guest bathroom choked and attempted to die on us. ie. Drew broke it. He’s bad about that. At the end of a long, long week. It was horrible, horrible. And I know I overeact about such things– but all that toilet water overflowing and EVERYWHERE was more than my clean-freak brain could handle. I thought the toilet was a goner. The tank is in bad shape, the whole thing is attached to the floor badly (it’s sealed, but whomever installed it either didnt care about getting it right or was an idiot) Plunger was a no-go. Not that we didn’t try. We tried and tried to unclog the #*$^@! toilet.
In the end… we fixed it. How? Dish washing liquid! Lots and lots in the bowl followed by a big ol’ bucket of hot water(but not yet boiling.. too hot is bad). Repeat as necessary. It worked. It worked. It worked!!!
And once everything was clean again I fixed everything in the tank (meaning, I took it all apart and redid it all). Now the handle doesn’t ever need to be jiggled any more.
Yeah, I’m writing too much. I always do. But that was a huge stresser for me.

Stalin must be smiling in his grave over the Real ID Act. Our republic becomes more and more fascist ever day. I’ve supported our government. Heck, I was a gasp Young Republican. But I love my country and this… this is criminal. Don’t dare call me a non-patriot– our country wouldn’t exist if not for those that knew when to say no.
