So I was just supposed to spend fifteen minutes reparing the dang tank float valve and found that the whole set of hardware needed to be replaced, but could not get the tank to seperate from the seat because the screws were rusted shut, then realized that the seat was not bolted to the floor, then realized that the wax underneath had not been placed properly and had been rotting away the wood floor underneath, then realized that the water valve from the wall was closing off properly, then I needed to help my four-year old use the potty in the bathtub, then realized that attempting to separate the tank from the seat with necessary force to remove rusty screws actually breaks porcelain, then realized that my day was now shitty as I had to drag two babies to Lowes hardware to buy a new twoilet, then realized that taking a four-year old to the potty at Lowes is not so easy when you are towing around a baby and her car-seat around, then realized that I had forgot to bring the old valve to measure up to buy a new one, then guessed at the size, bought a cheap twoilet, get home, realize that the shot in the dark on the valve was incorrect and will have to return it for another piece after the baby wakes up from nap time, then realize that I have no idea what to do next.

Now I realize why people own guns.
