UTTERLY NERVE WRACKING

My house is so clean it squeaks…and it is nerve wracking.  My house is never ever clean.  If its clean where you can see it, you could always count on my closets and the unseen parts under the chairs and couch to be full of crap and dust.  But not now.  The cupboards are full of neatly packed boxes…that or empty.  Under the couches and chairs is spotless.

Although…I keep finding fistful sized dog hair balls.  Seriously, I vacuumed about six times over the morning this morning and I still found fistfuls of dog hair.  I finally put the both of them in the car.  Three hours later I went out to get them and they wouldn't get out.  They knew…they both gave me that look.  The one that says, 'Hey!  we haven't been anywhere yet!'  I couldn't fool them so I drove them up to the forest near here and let them run awhile.

Dane, real estate guy, came and so did the photographer.  They are so funny.  The basement is virtually empty yet they still found things that had to be tweeked.  And Dane has asked me, nicely, to remove my garbage can and recycling can.  Like…where to?  I asked politely.  Well I don't know he says.  So I said, "No seriously Dane.  Where do you think they should go?"  I'm into realism…him not so much.  So he says, ' how about a little bucket under the sink?'  I laughed.  I fill my big can twice a day…a little bucket under the sink will not cut it.

I forgot to post this last night.  I fell asleep.  I got up early this morning and stepped right into a puddle of pee…Molly size.  I gotta tell ya people I am so done with these dogs.  They are all lovely and all that but between the dog hair, the pee and not being able to travel because of them, I am done.  The new house has carpet in it too.  I don't think they are going to be happy living with me either.  I can see many baby gates in my future.  And kennels.

Now its time for the videographer to arrive.  People came by last night to look at the sofa downstairs, bought it, but can't pick it up til next Fri.  They left the mattress on the floor so I need to go put that straight.  Gotta run.  TTYL  (sorry about the dog whining.  I know a lot of you out there either love your dogs to pieces or would give your right arm to be able to have one.  I am unfortunately not one of those people…never have been.  I am really trying to love them and be kind and understanding….but just as I am getting to that point…they do crap that drives me nuts.  I do know that I will miss them…eventually when the time comes.)
