So I set this up last night but the donate button wasn't working so it didn't get off the ground till the afternoon. Just after I got it running I got my first donation! Thank you John! I spoke to the man I owe my house payment to and I have another two week extension to get the money together! Yea! It's the small things right now that I'm clinging to. That and God.
So apparently there has been a major problem with fleas this year and they came to my house and decided to move in. Within days of discovering I had a problem it became an infestation. My cat, Batman, never went outside so he couldn't have brought them in. I discovered yesterday that they were in my yard on the edge of my back patio soooo it was probably me or one of my kids. Yea! Good to know we carry fleas. Lol Anyway I slept on the sofa since my bedroom was ground zero and my cat who now has fleas kept wanting to sleep on me. My sofa is leather fortunately so the fleas weren't on it but I swear I felt my skin crawling all night and I got No sleep. When I did nod off I woke up at 9:48 and for a moment freaked out thinking I was late for work. (I just started helping a friend for two days on the weekend) After the exterminator, also a friend, sprayed the house I stepped out for lunch with another friend and when I returned Batman was crying at the door. He was wet and the poor thing looked at me with the "puppy dog eyes" and a help me cry. He was foaming at the mouth. I panicked. I knew it had to do with the chemical so I snatched him up and drove to the vet as fast I could. Having just lost my dog I've had for 12 years one month ago I just couldn't lose another 4 legged family member. He ended up being ok. The vet said the chemical must have tasted bitter to him and cats tend to salivate when they do. His poor mouth looks like Niagra Falls it was so bad. They made him throw up to make sure he didn't ingest anything and then sedated him. 6 hours later my cat started walking around. I just about thought they killed him.
In my series of unfortunate events today as luck would have it...my vacuum cleaner broke. I HAD to vacuum my floors because of the spray and no longer living fleas. I now Highly recommend the Hoover Windtunnel. It has amazing suction power, it has a container not a bag and you don't have to replace any filters. So after spending what seemed like forever vacuuming, putting the kids to bed, straightening up the house and taking a shower I am completely exhausted. And now, after telling you my hectic but incredibly boring oh so sad life lol I'm going to finally get some sleep.
