long time no post

I know, I know, long time, huh? Busy Summer, hard work, lots of tired. But since I was so rudely kept from napping, I shall share!

I went to lie down on the couch, and smelled the unholiest of smells, that can only belong to the cat. I look over the couch & into the plant, & see that said cat has been using the plant as his personal poo place. DISGUSTING!!!!!

What's worse, is that the kids use the plant as their rock collection display site. And I have no gloves (snap) to put on to rescue the rocks. But I do have baggies. So I baggied my hand, stuck my nose waaaaaaaaaay down my shirt (my own stench being better than that), and began rescue operations. The boy helped me take the plant outside to the curb, as it was in a HUGE pot, where it will sit until trash day or an unsuspecting neighbor takes it!

The rock collection is now sitting in a bowl of bleach waiting for the dishwasher to finish, where they will be sent through with extra soap on the anti-bacterial cycle.

I'm still shuttering.

If it weren't for the change of seasons, my even larger fear of mice, & the girl's attachment, this cat would be looking for a new home!
