Bathroom bottleneck

Picture this: one 1000 square-foot house, two dogs, two cats, 5 adults, 2 teenage boys, and one toddler. Also, let's throw only one bathroom, less than 12 hours notice of impending visitors, one day after a 5 day vacation, and a ton of catch-up work into the equation. Congratulations, you now have the formula to my last 24 hours.

Phrases one dreads hearing:
Do you have any air freshener? No? Oh, sorry...
Can I throw this diaper here?
What is Mingus doing with that diaper?
Is there another bathroom here?
Why is he flushing the toilet over and over again?
Do you have a plunger?
Do you have anymore toilet paper?
Don't lock the bathroom while you shower! The baby might need to poop! She hasn't pooped in 3 days!
When did you get all that gray hair? Poor thing, you got your mother's hair color.

Aiya!

  5. It was only for one night, so the relatives are all gone. Although I love having them around, getting work done was next to impossible when the house was bursting at the seams.

  6. I wonder if they make tub-shaped litter boxes for cats like Greaseball. :)

    Poor Fifty must have disappeared the entire time.
