I just cleaned the litter box so I could sit here and surf without the horrid smell in the room with me. No sooner do I sit down after it was done and guess who sauntered in? Good 'ol Bonnie.
Many years ago when Jade was probably 5, I decided to clean out her toy box while she was at school. While rummaging through the Spice Girl paraphernalia, the pogs, the sky dancers, the Polly pockets, the tamagotchi things, the Barbies, light bright pegs, hundreds of McDonald's happy meal toys, the Furbies and whatever else she convinced me to buy for her, I came across a little container of candies. It was a Batman head and when I picked it up I noted there were still candies in it. I opened it. Odd grey candies. Why hadn't Jade eaten them? I decided that they were probably licorice flavored or perhaps sour. So I popped some in my mouth to see.
I realized in horror, that they weren't candies at all. She was obviously playing some twisted little game and had filled the Batman head with something other than candies. Gross. I had eaten cat litter. For some reason, she decided that the hundreds of dollars worth of toys in her room were not as fun to play with as the cat's "sand box." In my defense, I had just had Cole and was dealing with "mommy brain" at the time. I have no other excuse that might explain why I didn't know it was litter, just by looking at it.
I'm tired, but had to do a couple loads of laundry so the kids don't have to go to school in bathing suits tomorrow. So I decided to surf for a while, but then I saw Bonnie in the box and decided I had to blog about it for some unknown reason. Then, to make this whole experience worse, I admitted publicly that I have eaten litter. Oh my day just keeps getting better and better.
Cole, he FINALLY decided to get a haircut. Said he's going to get it cut short (hooray!) and will let it grow back so it will be long again by Christmas. (boo!)
Alright, I am yawning which is causing my eyes to water and my nose to run. I am going to go collapse. Morning comes too soon!
