1) When Lloyd didn’t have school last Wednesday (snow day), he cleaned up the house. He vacuumed upstairs, straightened the downstairs, and put the bag of Iams cat food in the freezer. (It stays fresher that way. I think.) When he opened the freezer, there was another bag of different cat food. (Leftover from my feeding of the strays last winter. It’s how I can sleep at night. Have I mentioned I’m crazy?) Wanting to be helpful, he combined the two.
2) Wally has barfed twice in the past few days, and their poops have smelled horrific. I blamed the new food. I got the bag of cat food from the freezer to dump more Iams into the container that we keep in the kitchen, and discovered that it was all combined. I was annoyed, but couldn’t get mad because a. he was trying to be helpful and b. he didn’t know, but c. I got mad anyway.
“I’ll sort it out during the Superbowl,” he promised.
And he did. (Well, we did.)

I’m guessing your fingers were a bit stinky after that.
Once I handled beef jerky (packing kids’ lunches) and then put moisturizer on my face. Big mistake not to wash my hands in between. All day I smelled like I was wearing Eau de Boeuf. I’ve never had dogs so attracted to me.

And of course I’ll have this song in my head all day:

Ha! I laughed out loud!
Lloyd says
I’m “helpful” in the same way 4 year-olds are “helpful”.
Peggy says
Hehe…..but awww, you look like you’re on a time out.
I’m surprised you didn’t come up with a sifter Lauren that would sift out those little pieces. Next time.
Lloyd says
Don’t think she didn’t try.
Brad says
Ralph looks funny in the picture. I think he’s in mid-lick. 🙂

Some 15 minute jobs seem to take forever.
