• 2nd Tuesday Post

  I know I said no pictures today.  But . . .

  I ended up doing the sweeping for Annamarie in the bathroom AND the kitchen areas.  She just wasn’t getting up the dirt and it HAS to be done today – due to company.  Luci had to be watched like a hawk when she cleaned her room so things didn’t end up under her bed or under her bean bag chairs.  They did anyway, when I wasn’t looking.

  I’m really supposed to not be doing much of anything in the way of “arm work” but I scrubbed the gunk behind our toilet (Annamarie left that uncleaned and dusty/cruddy) and I took a broom to the kitchen, kitchen table room, and utility room floors getting more than a dustpan full of stuff.  I don’t know how you miss a napkin, plastic ring from a milk jug, pencil or crayon when you’re sweeping WITH YOUR GLASSES ON . . . but, Annamarie did; not to mention the dried grass, dried pasta, and dust bunnies under the cabinets.  Once it was in a pile, I told her to use the dustpan and then get on her hands and knees to get the few dirty spots with 409 and a paper towel.  No, I wasn’t a happy camper, nor was I in a good mood about having to do her work.  It took her 2 days of working on the floors and I did them in 2 minutes.  Not very conducive to being relaxed.

  I recognized my stressfulness and laid down on my bed to cool off, relax, and regroup my attitude.  I noticed Stormy lying on my bed in complete relaxation.  She was so relaxed that I came out to my desk to get my camera and found Chirper also lounging on the formal sofa without a care in the world.

  I made a decision . . . .

  I want to be a cat!

  Not just *any* cat, but (specifically) one who lives in my home!

  Chirper – so relaxed he barely lifted his head!
  

  Stormy – waiting for me to leave so she could put her head back down on the scrunched up quilt.
  

  
  Pretty tempting life, isn’t it?

  I want to be a cat (in my house) but I’m stuck being a human being for now!!!
