Breaking Bathtub News!!!
Gary is at the house working on the bathroom!!! WooHoo!!!

Gary completed the roofline over the bay window and it is gorgeous! He will be back out this Saturday to finish up the roof work.

Gary is supposed to come out tomorrow to work on the roof. Until then (since I can’t soak in the tub) I have written some more Christmas Tub songs.

Christmas Tub
(to the tune of ‘Jungle Bells’)

Christmas Tub,
Christmas Tub,
Christmas Tub, oh yay!
Oh what fun it would be if I could soak today, hey!
Christmas Tub,
Christmas Tub,
Christmas Tub, oh yay,
Oh what fun it would be if I could soak today!

A month or two ago, I thought I’d have a tub,
To soak in and to love and to bathe the dogs,
But things are not that quick and so I await St. Nick,
Hopefully he’ll come to build and that will do the trick!

Ohhhhh
Christmas Tub,
Christmas Tub,
Christmas Tub, oh yay!
Oh what fun it would be if I could soak today, hey!
Christmas Tub,
Christmas Tub,
Christmas Tub oh yay!
Oh what fun it would be if I could soak today!

The Twelve Days of the Christmas Tub
(to the tune of the Twelve Days of Christmas)

On the first day of the remodel the contractor gave to me,
A promise of a bathroom complete!

On the second day of the remodel the postman brought to me,
Two light fixtures,
And a tub in a crate in the driveway!

On the third day of the remodel the plumber said to me
We’ll get it done,
No stopping to have fun,
So we can get the tub installed in a hurry.

On the fourth day of the remodel the postman brought to me
More light fixtures,
Matching the previous ones,
Lighting the new bathroom,
So that I can soak in the tub happily!

On the fifth day of the remodel my true love gave to me,
A shovel to dig the foundation!!!
Oh what sore muscles,
I had for a week,
And all I really needed,
Was a soak in a bathroom complete!

On the sixth day of the remodel my mother had called me,
From the antique store,
About several architectural pieces!!!
And a stained glass window,
That my grandmother,
Would later go and buy,
Which surprised everyone in the family!

On the seventh day of the remodel the county sent to me,
A building inspector,
To check out all the work,
To make sure that it would not fall down!!!
And so the next step passed,
And on we keep on going,
Awaiting its completion,
So that I can soak in my new bathtub!

On the eighth day of the remodel I am beginning to fear,
That the tub will never ever,
Ever, ever, ever,
Be installed this year,
Which always brings to my eye a tear!!!
As I wait patiently,
To have the tub installed,
In a complete room,
So that I can soak all day happily!

On the ninth day of the remodel it’s getting very hard
To keep a positive attitude,
With a tub in the living room,
Decorated for Christmas,
Instead of filled with water,
Why is this taking so long???
All that I asked for,
Was a claw foot tub,
To soak in for hours,
But now I’m stuck just singing these songs!

On the tenth day of the remodel I still cannot believe,
That it’s been so long,
Since we started on,
This project to install,
An antique claw foot tub,
All so I could soak!!!!!!
I know it’ll get done,
And then I’ll have some fun,
Sitting in my tub,
While I soak all day in lots of bubble bath!

On the eleventh day of the remodel the tile company,
Sent us boxes of tile,
To put down on the floor,
Of the bathroom that should be complete,
But still has a closed door,
Hiding all the stuff,
That by now should have been installed!!!!
The tub has turned into,
A Christmas decoration,
This is really pitiful,
And so I write these Christmas tub songs!

On the twelfth day of the remodel I really hope to see,
The contractor is working,
Towards finishing the project,
So the county can inspect,
For the millionth time,
To determine its sturdiness,
So that we can proceed,
To the next big step!!!
Of cutting a hole in the wall,
Laying down the tiles,
Hanging architecture,
And so finally I can soak in my tub!!!

Tis the Season (the Fa la la song)
Tis the season to be soaking
Fa la la la la la la la la

But instead we all are joking
Fa la la la la la la la la

Oh how I wish they would finish
Fa la la la la la la la la

Hopefully before next Christmas
Fa la la la la la la la la
