Panicky Situations

1/16/2016

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Something crazy is always happening in a house with a big family. I mean, really, do we ever just have a calm, normal day around here?
Let's start with the other night. I had just started a Skype conversation, but all I got out was, "Hello," before chaos broke out. The bathroom was literally flooded. FLOODED. The toilet was completely overflowing, the entire floor was soaked, and a certain little girl (cough, Twin A, cough) had a very guilty look on her face.

Apparently, she had decided to put a ton of toilet paper in the toilet, completely clogging it up. No one noticed for a while, which is why the situation became so bad. The Skype conversation was put on hold with little explanation, and my brother, sister, and I panicked about what to do until my parents walked us through how to be calm (there wasn't really any need to panic, we just had to clean up). It was so out of control that my sister had to use a cup to ladle water out of the toilet before we could plunge it. Boy, the whole situation was crazy. Let's just say that Twin A is no longer allowed to go into the bathroom without someone standing by to watch out for any suspicious behavior.

Tonight, we dealt with a different kind of situation for which I also panicked. My sister had just gone into our bedroom to go to sleep, and I was standing in front of our door, talking to my mom. Well, our bedroom door is on the same wall that the living room television hangs on. I looked up, and right next to the television was a huge lizard. Now, I'm used to lizards by now. They're all over the backyard down here. But I don't want them in my house, and the one that was in here tonight was way bigger than the little guys out back. Plus, the backyard lizards are green, while the one in here was this brownish-black color.

I panicked, and my sister got out of bed to help catch it. Leaving my mom and sister to deal with the lizard on their own, I ran into my bedroom and closed the door. I even stuffed a jacket along the floor because I didn't want the lizard to slip under and get in our room. Well chaos ensued as my sister missed the lizard and he ran behind the television. My mom flushed him out with a broom, but then neither of them could catch him for a few minutes.

I felt horrible, but I couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation when I came out of my room (after the coast was clear and the creepy lizard was out in the backyard, of course). I'm surprised that we didn't wake everyone else in the house, because between the yelling, the laughing, and the doors opening and closing, we were pretty loud.

Of course crazy things happen when you're part of a large family, but I feel like we have unusually crazy things happen around here. Why do these things happen to us? Does anything crazy happen to your family like this?

Thank you so much for your continued support! I look forward to sharing more stories about my experience with foster care, and hopefully hearing from readers who have questions or similar stories to share. I'm always willing to answer questions and hear about other experiences! Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

Ha ha... Yes, I should have mentioned my insane fears about the new pool guy at the door. The tornado watch happened after I had blogged already though. I'll have to make sure I mention that in tonight's post!

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
