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)

To Date or Not To Date

Doc and I have actually been tweeking with the idea of going on a date. I know. Totally weird. Not the idea of doing something romantic. It's the idea that we actually might have the guts to dump our offspring on some unsuspecting person. This has always been a hard decision for us to make. I mean, we do watch the news and let's face it, we're paranoid. That's probably why we haven't been on a real date that didn't include scarfing down our food as fast as we can and running back home to see if it's still standing and no one is bleeding. Just the other day, I asked Doc, "So, are we going out for Chinese tonight?" I was crossing my fingers mentally, chewing on my lip. I so wanted to be irresponsible. We haven't been on a date in forever and I was craving Chinese like crazy. I suggested that our 13-year-old son get a chance to hold down the fort for a couple hours. I even turned on my sexy voice and said, "We'll have our cell phone with ...

Grooming Gargoyles

Some say boys are much easier to raise.  I can see that.  Girls have that PMS thing going on once a month and who wants to deal with that?  Not me.  It's bad enough I have to deal with myself.  Plus, girls can be overly dramatic and cry a lot....wait.  Maybe they aren't too different from boys.  However, there is one thing that I probably wouldn't have to deal with if I had girls instead of boys. That would be hygiene. Being a girl myself, I know that girls like smelling nice.  We love to take baths and soak in sweet smelling bubbles and make our skin feel smooth.  No way are we going without brushing our teeth just in case our honey wants to steal a kiss.  Hair, makeup, deoderant...let's face it.  We are not going to face the day without looking good. My boys are different. They would wallow in their own filth and revel in it.  Big Mac Attack has finally gotten to the point where HH and I don't have to nag him to take ...

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...
