Another New Toy????

Well I did it.. I finally got another new toy... ok.. well this one isn't as much fun to play with as my van.. or as my favorite toy.. Ron.. but.. it does do what I need it to do.. and it soothes one of my obsessions..

I am a clean freak.. I don't like clutter.. I don't like messy.. It makes me a bit.. well obsessive... I know Ron, with his sweet, wonderful way won't complain about my obsessiveness.. but I know I must get on his nerves at times... I am constantly picking up.. constantly getting up and down to do something.. It isn't that I love cleaning.. It is that I don't love mess....I know there is a certain amount of clutter involved in everyday living.. I do have children.. they are just little clutters looking for a place to happen.. generally they happen where ever they are.. but, there is no need for a house to be dirty.. We have very limited space here .. so.. one thing where it isn't supposed to be makes the house look dirty.. so... I clean.. I don't work myself to the bone or anything like that.. I just do a little.. all day.. that is so not obsessive.. geesh..

Anyway.. the new toy is a vacuum.. I bought a broom vac not too long ago.. easier on my hand and wrist.. but a little too easy on the carpet.. doesn't get the job done.. so today I bought a monster vacuum.. the problem now.. I can't push the stupid thing.. I tried left handed.. it just stood there and looked at me like.. "Is that all you got?" then I tried both hands.. the pain factor kicked in with the right wrist and informed me that yes.. that is all I have... so finally I found a way.. get it going by pushing with my left foot and left hand.. and pulling it back with the left.. it seemed to work well .. right up until Malcolm developed a very unatural attraction to the new toy... I don't even want to know what that was about.. but he likes the thing a bit too much.. anyway.. I did get the carpet clean.. and got a lot of other work done around.. here.. hmmm what is that sound.. the quieting of the obsession fairy.. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh .. ok.. I know there is something left to wash, wipe, scrub, launder or otherwise make neater.. til later y'all .. have fun..
