I like my house to be clean. If my house is untidy, it
stresses me out and I feel as if I can't relax. Clutter makes me uneasy and I
really dislike watching the animals chase dust bunnies across my living room. 'Mater
isn't as anal about cleanliness as I am. The Children care even less. They
don't care if the dog walks across their clean sheets, that were left on the
floor, and they don't care if the dining room table has been wiped down from
breakfast before they are served their dinner on it - right over the milk
spilled from breakfast. Let one of the cats puke in the hallway, though, and
they are aghast! I got led on a tour
of ALLLL the places the cat threw up.
I had news for them. When I woke up, I walked the minefield
of throw up down the hallway, managed to stop just before I set foot into the
pile of cat puke in the kitchen, and then had the pleasure of watching the dogs
eat the puke. I was kind of fine with that though because my un-caffeinated
brain was having difficulty figuring out what I supposed to do with this enormous
pile of cat puke. The quick thought that did pop into my head made me start dry
heaving so I was ab-so-LUTELY fine with letting someone, or some beast, handle
the issue.
So, the dogs ate most of the puke, went outside to check the
morning news, came back inside and my most well-behaved dog peed on the remaining
pieces of cat puke. Peed On It. Don't yell at dogs while they are peeing. They
will just move whist peeing. It's better to clean up a concentrated area of pee
rather than an area that resembles a Jason Pollock painting. This was a good
learning lesson for me. Amidst the vomit and pee, I discovered that The
Children do have a line that can be crossed when it comes to being clean, and
it's written on the floor in yellow chunks.
Love this. Gotta love the animals!
