Cr-HAPPY Day

OK... So this afternoon was so bad with Sophie I just had to blog it....

I had spent the morning canning peaches and making freezer jam (btw.... the peach-raspberry jam turned out so YUMMY!!) And you can imagine how canning with Sophie can be..... Why do I even try, right??

So then this afternoon, I was trying to get my downstairs ship shape. I had vacuumed the carpet and rugs and was dusting and lemon oiling my furniture. (I have an antique dining room set from John's great grandmother so I try to take really good care of it!!) Anyway, I walked into another room and while I was moving chairs back onto the rug in the dining room, Little Miss PAIN IN MY BUM grabbed the lemon oil and poured it all over my kitchen floor......around the entire island. Then she walked through it and left greasy feet prints ALL OVER my downstairs!! AAAaahhhhh!!

So.... of course I now had to mop.... after I got on my hands and knees and tried wiping up the POOLS of oil. And mopping at my house is no small feat. We have Laminate wood floors.... which are great because they don't scratch, dent or warp like my real wood floors in Massachusetts, BUT the are insane to keep clean! They are so shiny its like living on glass!! The only thing that I can clean them with that doesn't leave terrible streaks is water and vinegar.... with a big INDUSTRIAL JANITOR mop! And almost our entire downstairs has this nightmare floor....

So while I am heaving my big yellow bucket around, mopping away, I hear Sophie in my pantry/closet under the stairs. She has opened a box of Macaroni and cheese and poured the dry shells and powdered cheese all over the carpet in the closet!!

She also dumped out the pencil sharpener shavings all over my newly mopped kitchen floor....
I know she has done some other minor things this evening but I am just too worn out to keep typing!!!!

Its a DARN good thing she's so cute!
I really need a DP....
