We're Cleaning House



Grandma Pat is visiting us on Friday. Need I say more? Those two are in high gear trying to get this house clean and tidy. I dislike cleaning days immensely. Sometimes they move furniture and this I find unsettling. Things are not in their proper place and there's a lot of banging and clanging. And then there's that loud sucking machine which is a garish coloured mechanical monster that lurches after me when it comes out of the closet.

Is it any wonder I have a nervous condition?

Ugh! They do that around here when people are coming to visit. Doesn't make much sense to me. We'll be going through this on the weekend I'm sure.

EEP! I hate that big machine. Then the woman starts muttering "Danged cat hair everywhere" and I have to go check myself to see if I'm going bald.

Hide! That's the only thing to do.

I agree 100% - that loud sucking machine is EVIL! FAZ

Yech! Cleaning! The sucking machine is the worst.

Grace & Company always run and hide whenever the boy-who-plays-with-us comes over here to earn money by cleaning up. They really don't understand why anything needs cleaning, but I certainly do. They help make the big mess!

Anyway ... just make sure you find excellent hiding places wherever the noisy machine isn't working!

We are not afraid of the sucking machine because mom promised that she would nver suck on us with it.
Well, it is noisy I agree with that.

I hope you have a nice visit with the gramma. They ... like to squeeze and hug a lot. That frightens me more than the sucking machine

That's a funny picture - my mom loves vintage photos!

By Friday everything should settle down and you can enjoy your Grandma Pat's visit. I hope so!

I love company when they play with me, scratch my chin, give me treats...but I hate it when they're "coming." The cleaning and sucking machine are to much!
