Getting through Tuesday

[icedtea]

Where are the randoms? My non-coughing dog just ate part of a chocolate nut brownie just to screw with me. 

[wannabmama]

Oh man icedtea hopefully dog #2 is ok! One of mine ate a tray of brownies once and was ok, but I was freaking out!

[icedtea]

Thanks wannabmama, he only got a couple bites in. He may throw up, but he'll be fine otherwise. I'm more upset that I lost my brownie! It was on a table he doesn't get on anymore, and wrapped in saran wrap. Asshole.

[BabyStandish]

Good morning! I'm ready to go back to bed. My knees are brushing up nicely from yesterday's fall. I'm glad it's just banged up and not actually injured.

I watched one of my dogs counter surf the other day...I think he forgot I was home. They never do it when we are around. When I yelled at him, he ran and hid under a desk in our office and stared at the wall. Asshole.

BabyStandish, on a positive note, I meant to tell you yesterday, but you have nice legs.

That didn't sound creepy, right?

I had to shave my cat's butthole last night.

The joys of pets.

Your cat lets you do that??? Our cats would go all Freddy Krueger on us if we tried that. We actually had the vet completely shave Echo's butt last week when she was under anesthesia for her surgery. Figured we would take full advantage of the knocked out cat.

It's not easy, and it takes two people. He's reasonably cooperative, though.

He's scheduled for a full lion cut but not for 2 more weeks, and the poor guy is totally matted. His hind end, though, contained more than just fur and I was NOT tolerating it.

[ironbaby]

caitost21, I have a Persian. He is long-haired and mats easily. Most domestic cats are shorter-haired and don't need shaving.

[ladytiffany24]

So H is out of town on business tonight and I'm wildly excited about doing my own thing tonight and very likely going to bed by like 8pm. I'm wild.

[BabyStandish]

FIL and Step MIL are coming into town tomorrow for dinner so I have to figure out what I want to cook for them. And I have to clean. I wish I was rich and could hire someone to clean. And they would serve me margaritas.

DH and I decided to go for a walk last night down the walking trail behind our house. We went out the back door which I promptly discovered doesn't latch. Thinking it just needed to be shut a little harder I did so a couple of times and proceeded to walk away when we figured out it needs to be fixed. And then I felt something bite me on the leg. Upon further investigation it seems as though there was a wasp nest in the door I slammed several times and my slamming the door pissed them off enough that one of them came after me and stung me. I cannot believe how painful a wasp sting is. FML because this is how my days are going lately.

[ironbaby]

badwolf, LT for caring. That sucks!

[ironbaby]

I broke down and yelled at H last night because our house is a wreck. He used to be awesome at cleaning, and now he's just not. He didn't quite deserve the emotional catharsis I let loose on him last night though.

I was just sitting there staring at how dirty our bathroom was and realizing that I have to clean it before I can even think of calling a cleaning person.

[mosdub]

Sorry badwolf Get some benadryl and ice!

[wannabmama]

Oh man badwolf those stings are serious business, so sorry!!
ironbaby our house is horrid...shameful really.

[rooskie]

We have a snow cone truck at work today.

We are suppose to have severe storms at work today.

This isn't going to end well.

[BabyStandish]

badwolf ouch!

I have to trim my dog's butt fur regularly. I call them "butt cuts." Ain't nobody got time for dingleberries!!

[BabyStandish]

[ironbaby]

H says the rain should be through in an hour or so. But it's on the other side of the building (half a mile walk) so I'm not going out unless it's clear.

Our plant is like 90 degrees inside right now so they try to do this once a month or so during the summer. But you would have thought they might have rescheduled this one.

So a co-worker is building a house and she was just telling me about the reason why one of the contractors was so delayed yesterday at getting there.

They are trying to become foster parents and they are on their 4th social worker and he was saying how much of a nightmare it was/is because they are looking at the grout (like making sure it is spotless white, etc) and every little thing, and had a 3.5 hour interview yesterday. They have a together one, each separate and a separate one for the daughter.

I asked if she knew what county he lived in because now I'm stressing/freaking out more. My co-worked said I shouldn't even tell you this.

ETA:  now I'm extremely worried how picky our licensing worker is going to be.  I mean our house is clean for the most part but there are a couple area that are the in laws that I have the door locks on because of them having to go through things and get rid of things.  And there is some recaulking that could be redone in the bathroom and kitchen sink area but it's not bad.  Maybe me doing the window blinds and screens was a good idea.  Now I for sure want the ceiling fans done. 

One project we still need to get to is the garage.  I have all the tubs and toys that we have picked up in one of the stalls in the garage and we need to get it up into the loft to get the garage looking good again.

I have a plumber at my house replacing several pipes. He said the only water turned off right now is the upstairs bathroom where he is working. I have to pee, but he is working directly above the downstairs bathroom, which just seems weird to me.

[bex15]

That sounds awful badwolf, I'm sorry!
