I had a rough day. Not in a physically challenging kind of way.
I was determined that I was going to chill out this evening. I made a good dinner, we dined on the back deck (doesn't dined sound better than "ate"?)...just the kiddos and I.
As we "dined" on our dinner I was calculating the time, energy, and money that it took to plant our small crop of greenbeans late this summer. We've had one dinner from the small plot of ground. By my calculations- our small pan of green beans tonight was worth about $27. Ha! And ya know what? They were good! But not $27 good. Next year- we'll expand our garden. Do bulk
So, after dinner, our $27 side of greenbeans and clean up...I was determined to sit back and relax. I went into the bathroom to run my bathwater. As I started the jacuzzi jets-I noticed how dirty the toiletbowl was. How could i possibly sit back and relax with that???
Soon after, I climbed into the bubbling inferno of hydrojets with my Southern Living magazine. I laid back and closed my eyes. I tossed the magazine over the side and decided to just veg. After a minute or so I opened my eyes. WHAT IN THE WORLD?? I was surrounded with black goopy crud all in the tub. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I drained. Rinsed. Rinsed again. First the toilet and now THIS!
After an hour I had done three cleansing cycles on the jacuzzi...by then I was tooo tired to take a relaxing bath- and besides after filling the tub up that many times there wasn't any hot water left AND Jakey was insistent that it was past his bedtime.
I laugh now. I laugh to keep from crying from sheer exhaustion and frustration. All I can do is chalk it up as one of those things and say THATS LIFE! Btw- if you want to know HOW to clean your jacuzzi jets....here's the mixture:
½ cup of bleach, 2 tablespoons of diluted Cascade dishwasher granules in a little bit of water. Fill the tub above the jets Start jet massage and let run for approx. 10 minutes. Turn off and let stand for about 10 minutes. Empty tub. Let stand for another 10 minutes Fill the tub above the jets with fresh water Start jets for about 5 minutes Stop the jets and empty the tub Repeat this procedure at least twice initially and maintain a regular maintenance schedule for optimum performance of your jetted unit.

See! Just another reason not to like Jacuzzi jets. I feel like I'm being boiled to death in them. But, seriously, I am sorry for your missed bath. That's a big deal to miss a bath. And I hate to clean my bathroom. That's what I'd have a maid come in to do--just bathrooms.
