When I vacuumed the other day, I accidentally sucked up the power cord to the printer. Yanked that sucker in half. No printer until new power cord arrives and $30+ shelled out = not worth it.
And the dust and dog hair were back in less time than it took me to figure out which cord I’d destroyed.
We live in the country, off a dirt/gravel/chat road, with five indoor puppers. I’m not a neat person, and I’m married to a not-neat person. Cleaning is just a pointless Groundhog Day sort of activity.
And I’ve never been a fan of pointless activity (or Groundhog Day, for that matter).
I figure if God had intended me to have a clean house on a daily basis, He would have given me the means to have a live-in housekeeper, or at least let me share in my sister’s housekeeping genes, or He wouldn’t have made things like reading and writing so much more interesting.
Besides, what’s life without a little dust, dirt and dog hair?
Roomba? My friend has one and she has cats. I’ d get rid of the cats but it works for her.
LOL about the cats. Have you seen the commercial where the Roomba is vacuuming along, comes upon a cat, who hisses at it and it does a 180 and races away?
I’d like to give that a try. I’d just have to make sure the puppers didn’t think they’d gotten a new toy. A couple of them will attack the vacuum cleaner given a chance.
I can soo relate! The dog hair, non-neat hubbie and the hate housework. It seems so pointless. Love that cat commercial. Want a Roomba or the new Scubba that is the mopping robot.
Ooh, I haven’t seen the mopping robot.
If I were just more clever, I’d invent my own vacuuming robot, one with a wooden spoon to keep the dogs in line. They’ve never been hit, only threatened, but the sight of a wooden spoon makes them run. So they see it a lot.
My SIL used a roomba. It didn’t do as good of a job as she wanted, but I think she wanted immaculate floors all the time! They have 2 dogs and a cat. You would have to remember to empty the thing and recharge it!
I would love immaculate but would settle for clean enough that the ceiling fan didn’t stir up clumps of dog hair everywhere.
I’m seriously going to have to look a roomba.
We could tape a wooden spoon to the top! Get pictures.
