Another family 'outing' to get 'in'! 😱


After a very long day I trudged up the stairs to my bedroom and I might add (for the first time in recent memory), I had on a dress and heels...my feet were killing me. I then discovered 'someone' had locked my bedroom door and I haven't seen the key to that door for at least 15 years! :( After multiple attempts with every conceivable tool (paperclips even a couple of butter knives and You Tube instructional videos) I reluctantly concluded that 'lock smithing' particularly the 'breaking- in- kind' is not a resume item for me (a first!) so it was onto 'PLAN B' - since this problem was most certainly the doings of Darling Daughter - I screamed for her ass ....here's the rest of the story.....

I was finally 'in' 9:30 pm but with out a 'normal' 12 step fiasco!  I had to retrieve my trusty ladder to then have Darling Daughter scale the top roof (in pitch dark) line (she escaped through her bedroom window) was actually pretty quick with that move (hmm?) then cut the screen wide open with an exacto knife with 'Winnie' the kitten on the other side trying her best to escape! (frankly, I don't blame her!)  Older cats, 'Babycakes' and one-eyed 'Winky' were also locked in - I was high on the ladder in heels and a dress holding the flashlight. Success! We did it! 💪 . Darling Daughter and I problem-solved the situation and broke into the bedroom via second story window!  As expected.... Husband was in bare feet with a tiny flashlight.... directing from below.  Another memorable evening.  (Like snow shoveling). Xo
HOME SWEET HOME - now, leave me alone!

Because I'm Happy (?)


Join in a sing-along! 
Thank you to Pharrell Williams (but this is the time of year for new lyrics!)
(sing along to the tune of "Happy")

"It might seem crazy what I’m gonna do
Each year this may trouble you....

Through the winter our dogs take multiple dumps.....
It’s too cold to pick up so you have to punt!

And now it’s Springtime!

Clomp along as I clean this shit up from my yard!
Because I’m happy!(?)
Clomp along as it's been here a while and I never need a guard! 

Because I’m happy (?)
Clomp along as I wait for the snow to finally clear
Because I’m happy (?)
Clomp along to not track shit through my house with fear!



Here comes the bad news talk’n this and that....
Neighbors far and wide won’t talk behind your back!

Well, I can warn you it’s not that bad
This song to sing will become a new fad….



Because I’m happy (?)
Clomp along as I scoop this shit up from my yard!
Because I’m happy (?)
Clap along if you’re dancing to a smelly shit bombard!
Because I’m happy (?)
Clomp along as I wait for the snow to finally clear
Because I’m happy (?)
Clap along to not track shit through my house fear.


Bring me down
Like a ‘downward dog’

No yoga needed for a snap like this! 
my new scooper is like a candy kiss! 
Bring me down
Like a downward dog
Because I’m happy (?)
Clomp along as I clean this mess from all my darling dogs
Because I’m happy (?)

Clap along as I smell Spring
and eliminate this nasty bog
Because I’m happy (?)
Clomp along as I wait for the snow to finally clear....
Clap along to not track shit through my house with fear.

Because I’m happy
Clap along if you’re sick of bending up and down
Because I’m happy
I have a new scooper which is the best in all the town!
Because I’m happy
My yard will soon be smelling like a treat!
