I QUIT TODAY. HYSTERICALLY LONG BUT I PROMISE WORTH IT

ericalea511 · November 2008

I made my last post about 9am regarding my vomiting spree yesterday to shower and hope to feel better. I went into my 108 year old bathroom and got into the claw tub. I showered, shaved and as I stepped out of the tub... it collapsed. Now when I say collapsed I mean the foot broke off and the pipe from the basement was now in two pieces in my bathroom.

I call DH who is no where near mechanically inclined to help. (mistake #1). I called the 90 yr old neighbor who put in the piping (#2) who states "you should think aobut trading in your wife. She is not good." I call my father who is a plumber. He said I can fix it FAT ASS but you have to wait til x-mas. I respond "daddy, i have no water. None. Nada.'' He said he could do it next sunday. I oblige. (mistake # 3) DH says you cant possible wait that long. we need it now. I then call my mother. Mom I broke my tub. Dad says he cant fix it until next sunday. Mom : Sweetie we will be there today.

haha, its funny how moms are the only ones who seem to "get it" when your pregnant. I've been experiencing the same thing with my stepmom, she's the only one who understands me.

Omg I about pissed my pants at the fat ass part. That is totally something my DH and dad would say to me too!

Hope it gets fixed soon! Oh and I am so jealous you can still shave....

LOL! You poor thing. Have you seen the movie "the money pit"? Cause it sounds like a scene from there...

Have yourself a good laugh, it will be ok!

LOL! If you DH got a quote for a plumber he would happily wait that long. I hope that doesn't happen to our clawfoot tubs :-) Hope it gets fixed better than new. I think your dads response is great! (like clawfoot tubs don't weight a ton all by themselves.)
