Life does go on after bed rest. That is why this blog is called Beyond Bed Rest. Really, it does. And I am quickly remembering that life really does stay interesting after children are born. In many ways it is more interesting. And surprising.
Today's surprise was not related to children .... I don't think that even my oldest could have dreamed this up!
It was surprising.
It was shocking.
It was perplexing.
It was definitely gross.
It was a chair in the septic tank. Yes, a chair. In the septic tank.
Even B of JBC Septic, who showed up for our routine maintenance, was stunned. He had never seen that before. What was it doing there? One can only guess. I am hoping no one went down there to lounge around and have a beer. But that would make the story even funnier, wouldn't it?
B got a special hook and removed it. And even though I am sometimes frighteningly frugal, I splurged and paid him to take it away and dispose of it. Pew! I am mean phew! Really, can't you just see me forgetting to tell my kids when they came home from school? I might tell them to go play outside, where they would find it and think I had just drug a new piece of furniture home from the second hand store to refinish. The thought of finding my children bouncing on it does give me the chills.
But really, it is good that life continues after bed rest. There is apparently so much more to life than misery.
