Happy Labor Day to those celebrating!
Mom wants to go shopping for new flooring for the kitchen and our bedrooms. I'm all for that.
You see, my carpet has been the same one since I moved up here, and I have no idea how long it has been on the floor. But it has seen:
1. My father lose control of his bowels at the end of his life - in a very noticeable stain on the floor, and
2. My sister bleed all over the place while walking on an injured foot which she didn't realize was bleeding, because diabetes.
These are rather yucky stains I'd prefer not to be reminded of and after hearing my argument, Mom agreed. Her unfortunate just-darker-than-mint-green carpet has its own stains, usually from Vinnie throwing up as that was his "den" when he was alive as he would run in there to hide when he wasn't feeling well or was feeling nervous or what have you.
So yay, shopping for new flooring.
Of course, the next step would be getting all my crap out of my bedroom to give them room to lay the floor. Wish me luck.
