It's Potty Time!

The last few days have been fraught with little surprises when I come home from school.  It seems that I live in Frodo's cesspool!  Somehow, her potty schedule is off, and I have been cleaning up messes.  It doesn't endear me to the dog!

In the meantime, the floor guys and plumber came this evening to pull the leaky toilet in my half-bath, install new vinyl flooring in there, and replace the potty on new wax seals.  The plumber also replaced the shut-off valve, which was drippy.  I am a happy camper!  I haven't been able to use that potty since it started leaking from the seals a year ago.  I had arranged for a friend to come and do it but had to cancel on THE day he was to come because of the death of my brother.  The project has been on the back burner ever since.  But now it is done (and nicely)--and when my grandchildren come, we will be able to accommodate wee ones who have to go RIGHT NOW, even when the main potty is occupied.  Small victories!

I looks as though I will be babysitting my grandchildren on Friday night in Muncie and going to the Fort Wayne Hamfest on Saturday, then to the Harvest Feast at Meg's church in the evening.  That will be several very busy weekends in a row.  Hope I hold up!

I could go on and on about the kids at school, but I won't bore my readers with details.  Suffice it to say that my patience is thin, and some of the things going on in their homes makes it a wonder that they even grow up at all.  Not good!  I have too much to do and not enough time to do it.  This Friday is the end of the midterm (again), so grades will be due.  I am going to have to spend some concentrated time getting papers graded if I hope to be ready for that!

Ever onward and upward.  Hump day tomorrow!
