Well, as I was fast and furiously cleaning my living room yesterday, I suddenly realize there is a little creature under my husband's recliner! I almost had a heartattack and blurted out something that I am supposed to be working on not saying anymore. Anyway, long story short, there is a poor little chipmunk looking so peaceful, lying under his chair. I get a can of air freshner ( I didn't have anything else on hand) and gently nudge him to make sure he wasn't going to spring into action if I touched him. He was definitely dead. Molly our cat had just come into the house a little while earlier, so clearly she had brought a present. Poor little guy looked so cute. He didn't have any marks on him really except for some Molly slobber. I get a ziploc bag and place him in it (after I put on gloves though). I was really in the middle of some obsessive cleaning so I placed him lovingly on top of the stove to await a proper burial. Yes, I know, kind of a gross/strange place to put him but he was in a ziploc bag so it's not like he was contaminating the counter.
When I'm on a cleaning roll I cannot be interrupted! So I continue to clean and purge, my favorite thing to do. No, not clean and then throw up, ha ha but purge belongings. It's very therapeutic to get rid of stuff, at least for me. I have a heaping load of things for our yard sale that we have been trying to have for almost a month. Life keeps getting in the way though!
So my husband finished the dog's deck and doghouse and it is pretty awesome I must say. The kids LOVE to get in it though. It's like their little playhouse, so we are thinking about making the opening a little smaller. If you remember my big butt fits through it so.....just saying. Of course the kids are pretty small so it might be impossible to make it where they cannot get in.
My son Pax is destroying their play area in the living room right now, but since he and the little one are not harassing me, I'm going to let it go. The kids were playing doctor last night, not the totally creepy kind but creepy enough, and apparently you have to pay the doctor with coins and then he in turn puts the coins on your boo boo and you are healed!! Pretty awesome right, talk about your money working for you!
Uh oh, I just heard a slap and then Pax came back in and slapped Jersey in the face, there is a lot of unintelligible squawking going on right now. I'm pushing through, pushing through, I will get this written, no matter how "unpeaceful" this is right now. Ahhhh quiet again..
Anyway, my next recipe trial is going to be natural agave marshmallows. I really want to make gluten free rice krispie treats for the kids (I wouldn't mind either!) so they can have a better alternative snack. I will let you know how it goes. Apparently it involves an inordinate amount of blender time, so we will see how that goes.
Until later.....duty is calling! :-)
