"The Toilet Seat Saga"
Once upon a time there was a broken toilet seat. Mommy of the house set about to replace said broken toilet set. Process was not going well. May have had similar results to that of sink plug/lever replacement that ended up in a trip to the Dr's office for a tetanus shot and accidentally ending up getting a pneumonia vaccination too. She had to call her dad. He brought a handsaw - it broke. Said broken toilet seat had been attached to the porcelain for so long it had become part of the porcelain.
The dad managed to remove the broken toilet seat and replace it with the new one. Great job dad!
Some days later, new toilet seat was getting wobbly. Mommy got under and behind the porcelain to tighten the bolts. Way to go mommy!
Some more days later, the seat got wobbly again. Mommy fixed it, again! And again, and again, and again, and again, and again. Needless to say, this toilet has got to be the cleanest toilet on the block, cause for the number of times I had to get underneath the thing.
Tonight, we get home, late. Mommy's little children are running around getting ready for bed and the whole FREAKING THING BROKE RIGHT OFF THE BOWL. The hinges snapped and poor child looked at mommy with fear. Fear about whether to use cold porcelain or go upstairs in the dark alone. Decisions, decisions.
Mommy pulled out her bag of "RECEIPTS OF THE YEAR" and found the Wal-mart receipt. So, in the morning mommy and two short people will be furthering the adventures of "Toilet Seat."
Quick fix - a couple of towels lining the rim with some duct tape to hold it in place. And no, I will not be taking a picture :)

"The Toilet Seat Saga : Episode
II"
Cost of repairing toilet seat is going up. Because with no lid on the toilet, all mommy's accessories (brushes, hair dryer, hair products) have easy access to the swimming hole.
Shortly after mommy removed the broken seat, oldest child tried to get her hair brush to continue with her bedtime routine. Hair dryer went swimming. Daddy to the rescue, but alas, it was too late.
Am off to a really great start.
Made it to Wal-mart with broken seat and receipt in hand. Friendly customer service clerk had a good chuckle. She was trying so hard not to laugh at the image of skinny, little Ella going sailing of the side of the toilet, it was all she could do to hold the snort in. She gave me the credit and I got a new (cheaper) one. Yay! It's installed, looks great, feels great, kids are happy, mommy is relieved :) pun intended.
