It’s that time again!
Get out the monster machine
and clean the house time!
UHOH…..it’s BROOMhilda!
As if it weren’t enough of an insult to the ears having that vacuum monster machine here, there and everywhere we now have BROOMhilda wielding a wicked duster and broom so there truly is NO PEACE on a Friday around my abode.
Does this guy REALLY wanna know how it makes me feel???
This pretty well sums it up!
I made an effort not to cause any extra time needed for cleaning the house today – I did NOT toss toys indiscriminately under furniture so there would be no moving of chairs and the sofa to rescue victims of me playing with my toys:
Nope- you don’t HAVE to move it this week!
I even performed a little “re-con” mission around the place looking for any dust bunnies that I could go ahead and eliminate prior to the CLEAN-A-THON……..
Here bunny – come out wherever you are!!
So I really did try to make it a SHORT cleaning operation today……………………but in spite of all my effort, there was not only cleaning but laundry being done………so I got VERY LITTLE REST. I’m exhausted. Pooped. In dire need of napping.
Don’t I look PITIFUL?
Well, I will make up for lack of rest tomorrow…………it’s also bacon Caturday so that will also soothe my aching head and ears and tummy. I’ll be happy…..again……….at least for another week. Then we’ll have this little discussion AND this little “whine-o-blog” from me again next Friday. There are some things you can count on in life – – – –
- I’ll discuss bacon on Saturdays (and maybe Fridays before Bacon Saturdays)
- I’ll complain about cleaning day
- I’ll need lots of sympathy from my friends
Is that OK with you?
Sleepy Hugs,
Sammy
Whoops – before I forget……
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MO!
What would we do without Mo keeping the Cat Blogosphere chugging along!
Hope it’s a super special birthday!

Have you thought of getting a new vacuum? Our heavy, noisy Dyson died and we got an amazing light but powerful, pretty quiet Aventi for a fraction of the price.

Oh wow – never heard of an Aventi but I’d be all for something LIGHT………we have a Dirt Devil and it weighs a ton……does a good job BUT I may plead “too heavy for my old back” with hubby and try for a NEW LIGHTWEIGHT model!

At least you can count your blessings that it’s only once a week. Mom vacuums every single day AND she blames it on ME and my softy white furs! So unfair, but it’s gotten so I can sleep right through it, as long as she doesn’t get too close….

Routine can be good Sammy, but vacuums make me bark! Then I try to attack it. So since it’s just Mama & me, the Swiffer works downstairs. Only upstairs do we need that crazy thing. Just between us guys, Mama is kinda lax. Oh she takes out the garbage & recycling, wipes the counters, etc. but once a month, Ms Becky comes. I like Ms Becky, so I don’t bark when she works upstairs. This lack of barking when Ms Becky vaccums puzzles Mama to no end. Now Mama is genius at changing the HVAC filters. She writes the date she installs them, and voila, our lungs are safe inside for another month. Gotta love her! Take care my pal – I feel your pain ! Skyler B

Hi Skyler…..yes, we all suffer from some form of “Mom/Human Cleanaphobia” I think. Sooner or later cleaning happens and it interferes with our routines although it sounds like Ms Becky is on your “APPROVED” list of people to do that activity in your house. I usually just hide in the basement but in my old age I’ve become a BIT more adventurous. I go upstairs and peek through the railings down to the first floor and watch the vacuum…..you know – just in case it goes “rogue” and comes after me……..so far so good. But I’m keeping one eye on it anyway!

I managed to wake Mom up this morning at 3AM! GOOD FOR ME!!! Just because she looked like a walking trainwreck with her hair in every direction and her eyes half shut doesn’t mean she couldn’t make bacon for me – right? Well, bless her old heart, that’s what she did (after she got dressed, fixed her hair and woke up a bit). I got my bacon fix already and it’s only 6:30AM! Pretty good huh? The old gray mare still has it (thanks to the ginger cat push, push, pushing the mare!).

I bet your Sibe bunnies are quite numerous when they’re flying about…..long beautiful hair like yours – I don’t have that problem….I do shed, but Mom brushes me like THREE times a day (I love to pop up in her lap and have her brush me) so that keeps the fur issue to a minimum. Mostly it’s just dust – we have few visitors so the house stays spic and span!!!

Bacon isn’t exactly CHEAP here either dear boy……Mom and Dad like the thick cut stuff which is more expensive……I think it’s about the same price as yours or more sometimes depending on sales.

Hi Mau! Fish Fry night was a little wonky last night. Raz’s Mom and Dad were in a meeting, Pete was an hour late, so I kind of “made do” for a while but everybody got there eventually and it turned out well all things considered! I got my new Laundry badge – it was easy – Mom had just folded sheets and towels fresh out of the dryer yesterday and I pushed everything out of the way and fell asleep in the middle of it all. PERFECT for the badge! I love towels and sheets the BEST and I prefer CLEAN laundry to stinky!!!! HAHAHAHA
