Everything in this house is a mess thing. The water heater broke and until we get it replaced- a day or so- we have no hot water. Dakota threatened to shave his head because he can't live without taking a shower in the morning ( can't be at night when he could take one at Grandmas ) to get his hair just right. We just stripped our tree and it sits moping and dehydrated in the corner, shedding needles everytime the dog's butt hits it. Our garage is semi-flooded with water from the heater. Our almost brand new dryer ( again my Mom, what would we do without Grandma! ) only 2 years old broke, and the repairman said it needs a whole new panel which is almost 400$. Which we don't have. Obviously. Our lawn mower? You guessed it! Broken! Mr. Curry tried to fix it but it wasn't cooperating. So our lawn is wild. Our brand new vacuum from WalMart? That is right. Broken band! So remember those needles from the tree everywhere? And our two big hairy dogs? Hmmm. You are getting the picture.
I stare a lot at my children because they are beautiful and a lot less dirty and hairy and needley than the rest of the house.
