A Good Excuse...

Thank you "Erma" who said...
"The Grass is Always Greener Over The Septic Tank"

But you know... I have been looking for that greener grass, and can't find it! It all looks the same to me! I must be doing something right!


Not until we bought the house out here in the country did I ever know anything about septic tanks.

I have seen those commercials on TV about "Rid-X", but I thought that was a cocktail mix for my last husband. Mix with toilet water....serve at room temperature in a porcelain bowl.
Best if used before court.


Now I am learning all about the septic system...like I don't have anything else better to do with my time!

Little did I know ( and I really like this part) is that I am only to do one load of laundry a day! It is recommended that you space your laundry doing days throughout the week, and don't do small loads. That's fine with me!

Don't do small loads of dishes...wait until you have a full load. Two people, full load? You know how long that would take?

Do not use bleach disinfectants or drain and toilet bowl cleaners... eeeew! how do you get it cleaned?

Do not use a garbage disposal... That's fine because I have never used one before, but why does this house have two garbage disposals?

Do not dispose of hazardous chemicals, grease, disposable diapers, plastics, latex, paints, pesticides, solvents, oven cleaners, degreaser's, coffee grounds, wet strength paper towels, Kleenex, Q-Tips or sanitary items... Okay, maybe I am guilty of grease (who isn't) but the rest of the list? I can't remember the last time I tried to stuff wet strength paper towels down the sink!


And most of all Mr. Wonderful...NO tobacco products which means that cigarette butt you didn't snuff out in the ashtray less than arms length away should not have been tossed into the commode! EVER!



So, Mr. Wonderful... if you're wondering why I didn't do all the laundry today, dishes are still in the sink, the toilets aren't cleaned, the tub is not sanitized, there are still hazardous materials laying around, the grease from last night's fries is still in the "Fry Daddy", bugs are flying around the house, the oven is dirty, you're drinking coffee made with last weeks grounds, Kleenex is over flowing in the garbage cans, and the refrigerator is filled with rotten fruits and vegetables... it's not because I didn't feel like doing these things today...

I'm just trying to keep the grass greener over the septic tank!
