Despite the fact that he came home after 1am. I had created a bit of an issue at home. My kitchen sink has been clogged for 3 hours. I went on a cleaning frenzy and organized my cupboards. I started with the medicine cabinet. I poured an entire bottle of metamucil down the drain. An hour later my sink was clogged and I couldn't figure what the problem could be. When I tried to plunge the sink it had globs of orange jelly. What could it be?? I just left the sink, turned the lights off and went to watch TV. (That is how I deal with issues I can't fix. I deny it even exists)
Mr. Incredible arrived home very tired and at 2am was under my sink tearing it apart.
He had no idea what the clogged problem could be. He asked me if I put anything down the disposal. NOPE! nothing. I don't know what has it clogged. As he stuck a hanger down the sink it came back orange and goopy.
He asked, "What is this".
I replied, "Oh that could be Metamucil. I dumped it earlier."
BINGO!!!
Did anyone know that Metamucil will turn to a very very thick gel almost rubber like?? I know! Me either. But, it will. So, please please learn from my mistake and do not dump it down your drains.
I mean seriously, I thought Metamucil was suppose to make you GO TO THE BATHROOM not stop you up!!
So, he took the pipe off and a lot of water gushed out. Lucky he was a smart man and already had a huge pot waiting for the explosion. Then the pipe was removed and a hose on full blast could not get that goop out! It was stuck!
I couldn't take a picture for the sake of my blog! ONE the sink water was gross, two the orange rubbery goop was gross, and three Mr. Incredible was incredibly tired.
I just wanted to say again, "Thank you Mr. Incredible. You are too good to me. You didn't once complain or make me feel stupid. (despite the wretched hour) You just took the sink apart as if you had all the time in the world. I love you, tons and I don't know what I would do without you.
Mr. Incredible was only home for a few hours and had to leave later this evening. He is flying out for a job interview. WOOHOO! He will be in interviews all day with SIX different people. I am praying it goes well because our family sure misses being together all the time and our funds are getting desperately low.
Sweet dreams my love.

Well thanks for that tip! Who knew?
My boys get so excited when Dad comes home, too. They kind of just ignore me once he's home.
Good luck with the job interview! Fingers crossed and prayers said!
Who knew that Metamucil would jack your sink up?! Good to know!!
What a great hubby!! And prayers coming your way hoping that he gets one of the 6 jobs!!
wow .. i did NOT know that Metamucil would do that!
your hubby is a life saver :)
That is something else. I never knew about the stuff. Gross though.
Glad you had some time together and I wish him all the best.
Who knew! Imagine what it does inside us! YUCK!
Hope the interview goes well!
Handy-men husbands are so great. What a sweetie to be so patient with you. Good luck on the job hunt!
I NEVER would have thought that Metamucil would do that....plug ya up. How fortunate for you that Mr. Incredible is so incredible.
Best of luck with the interviews today.
I have another name for Mr. Incredible...Mr.Fix It! I used to throw old medication down the drain & then use the garbage disposal to grind it up. I think I should stop & of course never use Metamucil, especially since my husband has been doing alot of fixing these days.
Good luck in the interviews!
How weird that some thing that relieves the human clog can end up cloggin up a sink.
Goosey Mama you are just one blessed woman... You must be an amazing woman... like the saying goes... "behind every great man there is an even greater woman."
Gotta love a good handy man!
well that's why when humans take metamucil they have to take it with tons of water. In fact, because it gops up like that it could also be a choking hazard if not enough water is taken with it. It draws water to it and then "moves" everything through the system. lol Ya know, in case you were curious. ;)
So gross though huh?! So glad Mr Incredible could fix it so nicely. I think my husband would have said to not use the sink for a while till he could get to it!
I had to give a little laugh because I would totally do something like that (umm actually I have done something like that) and then TOTALLY go into denial! Denial is the best - No worries, be happy!
You have a good man there to clean up your Metumucil Denial in the wee hours of the morning!
Luck and Prayers sent your way for successful job interviews!!
WOW! I love the way you told that Metamucil story. It was like as if we were sitting on the porch sipping ice tea chatting while the sun sets for the evening. I just hope my blog is this good. I'm working on it. Keep in mind I have only been at this since January. I have only 4 followers. Trying to build my followers up. I just know not everybody is following like 100 blogs. And if you are like I said in my MMB blog, make me 101. Well I didn't say exactly like that but you know what I mean.
Friends are cool. We need good friends in our lives. (Especially for those support groups we have going on. . .Namely WRITING!)
And now I probably should get off and pick up the kids. It's not fair.
But I am blogging to help create my web presence known. People have to hear me. They want to yearn for my most latest blog entry. Okay. Maybe that was lame, but you get my point.
That said I am going to rewrite my About me in my blog. I have something even better in mind....:)
ACK!!! I hope you understood that comment. There were a few awkward sentences. I guess my grammar needs work as well. I promise you all my blogs are not like that. :)
That is very interesting about the Metamucil. You would have thought that it would make it slicky! Funny! That is awesome your man has some interviews! Good things will come your way!! Keepin u in my prayers!
What a wonderful hubby! Good luck to him in his interviews! Yippee!
Ewwww!LOL! That is why I take the pills now if I need them!!
He's a keeper, Goose. Superman doesn't know the first thing about unclogging a sink, and *especially* doing it at 2 am.
Thanks for the tip. I'll log that away. And GOOD LUCK to him interviewing!!!
Awww..what a sweet hubby to not make you feel bad!!!! I'm glad it was nothing major though!!
LOL, our little puppy gets excited when "daddy" comes home too! It's so cute to see her go all crazy!
I'll be praying for your hubs interview!!!
Gross! Yeah you wouldn't think it would do that! Glad he was home for a little while.
Hope the interview went good.
Wow! No wonder you call him Mr. Incredible. What a great guy. Hope everything went well on his interview(s). Keeping you guys in my prayers.
Oh dear. That was most unfortunate! That is how I felt when I saw what coke does to car parts.
I totally hear you on the man/Dad coming home. Its a toughie that we have done for over 16 years now. But we get him home longer than a day.
Good luck on the job interviews!
And as for the denial--that sounds like exactly what I did when our bird died. Just wrapped him up and put him in the freezer till my husband came home and could deal with it!!
That's some crazy stuff...On the other hand I hope and pray things get better for your family! ♥
Wuh-oh! Glad you got it fixed. I guess you won't be pouring Metamucil down the drain! Crazy!
