You know what would be the most awesome gift ever?
A 3-4 day weekend. With no animals. A cleaning crew would be nice, but not necessary.
Seriously. Just...board the animals at the vet, put them in the empty office, SOMETHING. And then just move absolutely everything in the house outside into a big tent or whatever. This would accomplish four things.
1. Obviously, get the house spotless from top to bottom. Paint what needs to be repainted, and get small repairs done.
2. Give me a blissfull weekend free from yelling NO and madly waving the spray bottle when one of the demons is trying to destroy whatever it is they feel like destroying that day.
3. Having everything out of the house would make it a hell of a lot easier to decide what does not need to come BACK in the house. I fully admit that we are both packrats. But this is ridiculous.
4. I MIGHT REGAIN SOME OF MY SANITY.
I'm not an overly tidy person. I'm fully aware that living in the country means somebody is going to be clomping around in dirty boots and making a mess pretty much daily. And I honestly think spotless houses that look like no one really lives there are extremely creepy. But just once, ONCE, I would like a house that does not have dvds/books/yarn/etc stacked precariously on every surface, waiting for demonic furrballs to to play cat bowling with. Is that too much to ask?
Chris wants to spend Easter weekend in New Orleans, because it's only a 2 hour drive from where he is in Mississippi. And as much as I would love that, because we haven't had a vacation in years and i've always wanted to see New Orleans? I would much, much rather spend the weekend CLEANING.
