Halloween'sday Nightmare

Halloween'sday is what my kids call Halloween (especially if it falls on a Wednesday).

After I took a 4 hour nap yesterday, I didn't sleep well last night. At 4 am I got up and went in the bathroom to find that our toilet overflowed (not just water, the "remnants" of what clogged it too). I got the plunger and figured I would take care of the problem myself. The more I plunged, the more "soupy" water overflowed onto the floor and my pj's. So GROSS!!! I got the steam cleaner out and used the attachment to suck the grodie water and "chunks" out of the toilet and off of the floor. I plunged at least 500 times and could not get the clog to budge. Then I snaked the toilet and that didn't help either. So after working on the disgustingness for an hour,  I cleaned up the mess and went for my early morning run (6 miles). The toilet is not fixed yet, but I'm done trying. Someone will bigger muscles and more tolerance for poop can take care of it!
