Thoughts of the day...
kids at home all day… I completely understand why my mom couldn't wait for school to start again in the fall. I now have weekly checks for new carpet stains that I then spend hours getting out. Is it school time yet???
dogs malting…. this means emptying the dyson three times just to vacuum the living room and dining room, twice a week. seriously.
buying new things… I've had the same ugly pencil holder on the side of the fridge for somewhere around twenty years. It was bought in the late '80's. It had kittens on it and said something about friendship. It was cracked from getting knocked off but it still worked and I was too cheap to go get a new one. I was picking up school supplies the other day and I saw a new one. It was on sale for $2 and it's bright orange. You can see where this is going. I say to myself I've gotten my money's worth out of the old one and it is cracked and broken and the pretty orange one is on sale and sure I'll spend the 2 bucks and be happy. I came home and switched out the pencil holders and for three days I looked at the new one as I passed by and was happy. Today, while vacuuming of course, I hear something. Look over. And there on the kitchen floor is my new pencil holder without it's magnet. Three days. The damn thing lasts 3 DAYS... That other ugly thing lasts two DECADES and this piece of S-H-I-T lasts three days. ARGGGG!!!! I'll be gluing it back together.
