Cat Hair Breakthrough










Having five boys is a big job, but when you have a pet, your work as a homemaker doubles or triples depending on how many pets you have.

We have a German shepherd, a cat, and two birds that are part of this crazy household.
I'll say right now that those of you who have no pets should count yourselves as blessed.
I'm such an animal lover.
Not that I don't cry at the thought of giving Leigh away and the cat stays no matter what. She has a purpose after all.

Speaking of the cat, when "we" decided to get her, one of the things I worried about was the cat hair.
It gets everywhere.

Yesterday, I had to pick her up despite her protests and when I finally looked down at my shirt a couple hours later, there was cat hair all over me.

Eeuuu.

She also has her own chair. Here is where I finally come to the point and give you the tip of the day.

A BOUNCE lint roller.

Yep. I'm such a genius. Just roll that bad boy all over the chair and up comes that sticky cat hair that won't even be picked up with the vaccuum. You also roll the fresh scent onto the furniture.

Ta da!

I'm sure many, many women who are faster thinkers than myself have thought of this tip, but I am so excited that I thought of this all by myself that I had to share.

THat's a great tip...we live in a house with two indoor cats...not our house, and not our cats....and there is cat hair everywhere. I like cats, but hate what their hair does to my clothes. I may have to buy one of these things.

Totally, good tip. You know something else that works? Glad Press N Seal.

Of course, I just buy my clothes so that they will match with either the orange tabby or the black cat!

It might be silly but I also pet my cats with fabric softener sheets. (after I use them in the dryer)

Dignified Woman

They instructed me to make sure I have a full bladder on arriving for my ultrasound. Ha. I almost laughed in their faces. Pregnant me plus a full bladder equals a disaster. On my son's birthday back in March, I had to drive all the kids home afterward. I had drunk a lot of water and couldn't believe I had forgotten what happens to me when I drink too much water with no bathroom nearby when I'm pregnant. I counted the minutes till I got home all the while breaking the law and speeding trying to keep in mind not to drive too recklessly screaming at the poky people in front of me. It brought to mind the very first time I experienced a full bladder as a pregnant woman. It was my first baby and my husband was in the Air Force. So, when we had an ultrasound we went to the Academy in Colorado Springs. They told me to drink an astronomical amount of water before I came. I did so and then we started out for the half hour drive to the hospital. By the time we were on the ...

The Top 20 Clean Romance Movies Of All Time

I'm really picky when it comes to romantic movies. I prefer them clean and it's really hard to find those kind of romance movies these days. Nowadays, romantic movies are chock full of butts, boobs, and beds. Just sayin'. I was bored one day and decided to google the top romance movies of all time. You have got to be kidding me. One list had Brokeback Mountain on it. Pulease. I was, in fact, so disgusted by all of the lists that I came across that I decided to make my own. I decided to call it The Top 16 Clean Romance Movies of All Time, well, because I couldn't think of anymore to make it an even top 20. Now, my list might be different from most people. I said I was picky. First, I don't like b***** women. That scratches out a whole pile of popular movies. One of them being Gone With The Wind. Does anyone besides me want to smack that woman? Second, I don't like it when the couple end up in bed together. Uh, I don't really need to know, thankyouverymuch. Th...

Candy Stash

As I bite into a luscious Reese's peanut butter cup, I have one thought in my mind. Thank you, Lord, that none of my children have food allergies. Otherwise, I would not be able to steal some of the candy bars from their Halloween candy stash. I would normally consider myself a meat and potatoes kind of gal. I would rather eat roast and mashed potatoes than candy any day. There comes a time, though, in every woman's life when eating chocolate becomes a must. Yesterday, I grabbed the pumpkin full of candy, locked the bathroom door, filled the tub with hot water, and luxuriated in a chocolate fest. It had to be done. May I say that Snickers is the best candy bar ever? Of course, Reese's comes in a very close second. Peanut butter and chocolate were made for each other. I was a bit disappointed to see no Butterfinger bars at all. What's up with that? Aidan probably noticed the less than full pumpkin because he brought me an empty one and told me that we need ...
