HA! There’s a monster in the closet and the monster is going to roam all over my house today removing bunnies of the dust type and wreaking havoc wherever it goes! That’s right – it’s cleaning day AGAIN. Why does it seem like this happens every other day instead of once a week? Hmmmm?
Mom says most of the dust monsters are under the bed……I’m glad I don’t have a bed then!
Are dust bunnies evil? I don’t think so! Do they deserve to be wiped out by the monster? Seems like some sort of cruel trick to me!
Well, all the whining in the world isn’t going to stop Mom and Dad from doing the cleaning today so I guess I’ll just stay out of their way. When in doubt – HIDE OUT.
Thankful for tents
I keep telling Mom maybe she should get a maid………you know – someone who can keep up with stuff instead of this once a week insanity? I found this one online – I bet SHE could keep this place whipped into shape don’t you??????
We had some more “wintry mix” yesterday but just a bit………….overall I think we’ve been so lucky – nothing has kept me from a little sixty second burst of fresh air when I’ve wanted it the last couple of weeks – I whine at the door and Mom lets me on the front porch until I can’t stand the cold any longer and in I come. What can I say – I like oxygen once in a while!
Then I was in a BIG hurry to get back inside…too cold!!
Hope your Friday is more quiet than mine will be……………….guess I could always just put on my headphones and listen to some tunes and ignore the chaos – right?
Hugs, Sammy

I always feel like I should drag out the super sucker on Fridays because your Mom mentions vakooming but it isn’t going to happen today! Enjoy your Friday Sammy!

He has a 100 acre fence line to clear behind us out of 250 acres and we think he is close to being done. It is common around here to knock down scrub cedars and dead trees and we do it too but we don’t have 100 acres and we have someone do it for us and they finish in a day because they don’t have a teeny bobcat! He did it when we moved here in 2005 so I guess it is a 10 year event… 😀 I do have to say, he has made us a very pretty view of his lovely meadow. BUT I still want him to be FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!
