Kitty tornado

When I was working full time, life was slow and kind of boring. We went to work, came home, slept and went to work again. Now that I don't work and stay at home every day, life is crazy! How does that happen?

Today is going to be a busy day for us, especially me. Josh is at work and as soon as he gets home, he has to change so we can drive to Lake County to work the Luther Day's event. His family is coming to our house tonight to stay the night, so all of us can go to Muskegon on Sunday for the 4th. So that means that I have to have the house clean and ready for another 5-6 people to sleep and eat here, plus I have to have his uniform cleaned and ready for him to change into when he gets home.

That doesn't seem like much, right? Just a load of laundry and a little straightening.... Nope! We had a kitty tornado hit our house in the middle of the night. They got on the kitchen table and scattered bills and paperwork all over the floor. They knocked over the garbage can and spread trash all throughout the house. And to top it all off, they knocked the ashtrays on the floor.

So now my simple load of laundry and a little straightening has turned into a total clean job. That wouldn't be a huge problem, but I have NO motivation to do anything about it. I'm not a dirty person, I don't like seeing the mess and having to walk through it. But on the same hand, they created such a huge mess that just looking at it makes me want to curl up on the bed and cry.

But as I'm typing this I am drinking my Monster Java and smoking a cigarette. I just got done talking to the hubby who told me that everything will be okay and that the house really isn't as bad as I think it is. So now that I have a little motivation and some reassurance that I can handle my kitty tornado.

I'm off to clean the destruction!
