Can I Get An Amen!

You know when you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night but you don't want to turn the light on because you don't want to wake up all the way?

And when you are finished with your bathroom business you reach over in the dark and the toilet paper roll is empty?

And lucky for you, you can reach over in the dark and replace it with another roll without turning on the light?

But then you spin the roll and you can't get it open?  The adhesive is too strong or you can't find the end?

So then you beat it to death for a few panicked seconds and curse the idiot who left you in this predicament?

And then you finally catch a piece only to have it shred in layers instead of unrolling the way it should?

By this point you are already wide awake so what was the point in leaving the light off because now you're going to have to turn it on any way?

Does this happen to anyone else?

Probably not.

And it me or is anyone else out there feeling pretty darn near hopeless about the state of our country?


Amen anyone?

Probably not.

ha ha...you had me laughing out loud at this one.
I can just see you pounding the toilet paper trying to find the opening part.
shredding it (been there done that)
I HATE having to get up in the night to go potty.
I have to go down the stairs to our one and only bathroom.
I told my hubby, I SWEAR, if we ever move out of here, I. WILL. have a master bathroom.

AMEN

hahaha

It is pretty discouraging, though. One of those things where you have to laugh so you don't start crying...

hopeless is an understatement at this point. They're all pinheads. We are so screwed.

Re: the toilet paper predicament, I always keep my eyes screwed tightly closed to keep the sleepiness going. It usually doesn't work. Re: the state of the country, don't give up. There are still good people running (like my brother Jeff Flake, running for the Senate :)
