Pardon me while I get a few things off my chest today! Here are 5 things I want to whine about:
1. Folding laundry. Isn’t it enough that I washed it and dried it? Somehow I wish it would just magically make its way back into the drawers.
2. Cleaning up cat vomit. The stray hairball I don’t mind so much. But at least once a week my kitty inhales his food like he’s homeless and doesn’t know where his next meal is coming from. Then all that dry food stews in his tummy for about 30 minutes before he barfs up that inflated mess.
3. People who have a gag reflex around barf. (Yes, dear husband, that’s you!) Supposedly, such people can’t clean up cat barf without barfing themselves. That means people *without* the gag reflex are in charge of all barf cleaning. Whoppee!
4. School snack. Five days a week my kids need it. I feel like a butler in this one. I’ve smartened up and stopped asking what they want and just send stuff. But pretty much everything I’ve packed falls short in their minds. Except Scooby Snacks. But then no matter how many boxes of Scooby Snacks I stockpile, eventually we run out. And then I’m shoving pretzels {gasp} or apples {NO!} in their backpacks.
5. Those furry toilet seat covers. They creep me out for some reason. And yet, they also make me self-conscious that I haven’t decorated my toilet seat.
What about you? Anything in particular bothering you that you’d like to vent about today?

That was the best description of cat vomit I’ve ever read. My thing at home is dishes. Brady and I have a joke that dishes hide in the pipe and as soon as I’ve just finished washing all of the ones in the sink, the ones hiding pop out just to taunt me.

Having scraped up my fair share, I know it is not easy to describe properly 🙂

I’d like to whine about my kids getting sick every week this month and that I now feel like I’m fighting something. And my period. And also the your numbers 1 and 2!

I’m so thankful I don’t have a cat. I’ve stopped using toilet seat covers a long time ago. they never fit right! So I don’t have 3 out of 5 of those problems. But the laundry . . .

There’s ALWAYS laundry. I don’t know how those people with multiples do it! 🙂

Do people still USE furry toilet seat covers? The last time I saw one of those it was on my grandma’s toilet in the 80s and 90s (and you know it was the same one because in Grandma’s house, things never change). lol

I totally saw one on TV and that’s what made me stop and think — What? Why? And should I? NO. WHY DO I EVEN WONDER IF I SHOULD!

I hate cleaning up cat vomit. We just cleaned our rugs and wouldn’t you know it, one of them threw up on it right afterwards. Nevermind that there was a wood floor inches away…whichever one it was, had to do it on the rug. Ugh. And to make matters worse, I stepped in it…with bare feet.

I will give props to my cat for having a warning howl before he vomits!.That way, whoever is closest has about 30 seconds to find him and move him onto the hard wood floor, where cat barf is much easier to clean up!

Ugh folding laundry is the worst, it is so useless. You’re just going to UNfold it and wear it later that week.
