Appropriate.....

...to come here to mention my morning.



I woke and it was bright and sunny outside instead of the dark pre-dawn I normally see these days. I said "uh oh" and jumped from bed. The morning was a blur of "boys get up we're late", "where are your shoes" and "where are my keys" ((they were in my jeans pocket, the keys not the shoes)).

Everyone was dressed, backpacks found, headed to the car when Lil B says "oh, I forgot", which is really never a good thing to hear from him. It ordinarily means that something has gone horribly wrong and he did not want to mention it in the moment but for whatever reason must do so now.

We were standing in the front yard when this came out of him. Having just walked out of the house, the house he wore these shoes in to walk through every room, at least once this morning and last night, he shows me dog poop covering the bottom of one shoe. Oh I Forgot. UGH.

Guess who is going on pooper scooper duty for AWHILE now. Gross.

(("Appropriate" because I'm always running behind here anymore. I was actually stunned that it has been a week since I was last here.))

Why do you let them walk through the house with shoes on? I was never allowed to as a child. I was taught early to take the shoes off when I get in the door.

To this day, we ask no differently of guests.

Well that is a good rule. I shampooed the carpet yesterday. It's sounding like a nice plan for us now too.

Samantha said...

Damn! lol we have a mud room for shoes thankfully, but guests do occassionally track mud in at the most thankfully not the other to date! Hang in there!

I've had that happen before. It happens to the best of us, even adults. There has been so much rain lately in Georgia, I haven't been able to pooper scoop the yard so I've stepped in a few piles myself. Just lost a pair of flip flops Saturday to a pile (they were only a dollar so I'm not even going to bother scrubbing them).

Heck, ever time I shampoo the carpet, it rains, and the dogs and I both track in Georgia clay. That is a lot harder to get out than dog poo, I tell you that. The dog poo you can usually spot clean. The clay requires the big machine.
