Not a pretty post...

Today has not been a good day girls.

To start with a *man* that I am

*very close to* and whom I dearly love decided

that he wanted to dump a gallon of

of bleach down our well system yesterday.

Someone had told him this is good for the system

as it cleans out all bacteria etc.

{right now I would like to get ahold of that someone}.

Just a slight disclaimer here:

I was against the idea from the start.

I am here to tell you that we have lived here for over 28 years

and have never done this and the well water has been

just fine and wonderful to drink.

I hopped in the shower this morning and was greeted with

a very strong clorine bleach smell that about took

my breath away. Got washed and out of there as

fast as I could, but then my skin started just feeling tingly

here and there and I knew I had to get that chlorine

washed off. Ended up going over to my son's house

and taking another shower and I am not sure that

that even did the trick although it did help.

We ran faucets open for quite a while, ran the garden

hose for a long time and it still smells like chlorine! To make matters worse we were very low on

water softener pellets and had just filled

that up again yesterday.

In case you don't know about those, it

takes a while to regenerate back through the system

and we have very hard water here.

I was cleaning the toilet {of all things}, when I noticed

the bottle I was using was tub and shower cleaner

instead of toilet cleaner!! {I warned you that this is not a pretty post.lol.}

I ended up splashing some on my brand new white ruffled

shower curtain so I knew I had to get it in the wash

before the chemicals ate it up...can you imagine what

happened next?? My beautiful white shower curtain

now has a big yellow rust stain and I mean it is big!

I just wanted to sit down and cry ,

but instead I yelled.

Don't think that helped any.

In fact I know it didn't help any.

Didn't take away the yellow stain,

didn't make *the man* feel any better

and truthfully

it didn't even make me feel better.

But we did learn something....

never ever, ever again will we dump

clorine bleach down our well system!! I pray it gets out of there soon or I will

have to wear the same clothes day after day. {that would not be a pretty site either} I certainly don't want to wash my clothes and

have them all ruined.

*The man* said I can practice on his work clothes,

but do I really want to do that?

Then I would be known as the wife who sent her

man to work with bleached out splotchy clothes!

Truthfully I don't think there is enough bleach

in the system to do that, but it would be just

my luck.

I sure hope the week ahead goes better!!
