Pissed

Confession: I am up to my ears in mess!

Despite the title, I'm not really at all angry. I am grossed out on a daily basis though. Remember when I used to post every day? You know, back when my thoughts were not consumed with puppies, and laundry, and falling behind on everything? The good old days. Really not much has changed. The addition of the puppy, my sister-in-laws little spill, and the extra added work of transitioning #1 from kindergarten to grade school. Should be a breeze, dontcha think? Should be.

But lately my life has become a battle against hair and pee. Mostly pee. I gave up the fight to contain the hair situation in our house ages ago. I have long thick hair. My hair gets everywhere. I am forever picking it off of my clothes, my kids, the shower walls. And the dogs, well, I just can't seem to win that battle. Every single day I sweep my stair case and every single day it is covered in hair. How these two are not bald by now is totally beyond my comprehension. And so, I give up. I have resolved myself to a house slightly coated in hair and fur. Maybe it'll keep us warmer in winter.

But the pee is a another story. The pee has become my nemesis. Let's see, I have a 4 year old who likes to pee in the trash can (and she's a girl, so it's probably no easy task) I've got a newly kinda sorta potty training 2 year old who likes to get up on the toilet, sit down for a minute, then say he's done, get up and pee on the floor and yell "TA DA"! And of course the puppy who I will walk outside for 20minutes while he circles and sniffs tree after tree, bush after bush, only to turn up his nose. Then approximately 5 seconds after we walk in, will pee on the floor.

So, right now the P's have it. I don't know how long my life will be filled with the smell of urine, and the daily laundry load filled with wet towels and rags, but for as long as it continues, I fear that I will remain indeed, pissed.

We'll save poop and puke for another post.
