Tuesday

  

                       




              I am so tired.  Why you ask?
              Well there are things around the
               house that I have been wanting
               to do but kept putting off.  Today
               I decided that the carpet in my
               bedroom HAS to come up.  Has
               to.  It is really nasty and I can't
               stand to look at it anymore.

               Why is it so nasty? 
                My cats!  I guess it is what the
                carpet is made of but I can't get
                stains from cat puke out it.  I 
                have tried everything.  Finally
                gave up.  Carpets are coming
                up.  Already have the carpet out
                of the living room and hallway.

                   So I grabbed some
                 tools and started ripping up the
                 carpet.  I only have gotten half
                 the room up.  Why?  Several
                 reasons.  Main one is furniture.
                 I moved everything to one side
                 of the room and cut the carpet
                 down the middle.  Then I cut 
                 that side into 3rds.  I would
                 rip up a 3rd then work on getting
                the nail strip up and the staples
                from where they stapled down
                the padding.
                By the time I got everything up
                 and made sure nothing was left
                 sticking up that could hurt the
                 kitties I was ready to call it a
                 day.

                 Tomorrow afternoon I plan on
                  moving everything and getting
                  the rest of the carpet up.  That
                  will leave carpet just in the 
                  spare room (where the computer
                   bookcases, and cat box is).
                   Not sure when I will get around
                   to getting the carpet up in here.
                   I should do something with the
                   floor in the bedroom first.

                   Tomorrow I go for my mamogram
                    What about the rest of you
                     ladies?  This is breast cancer
                     awareness month.  Call and
                     make an appointment.  Men
                     urge the women in your life
                     to make an appointment.

                     Thanks to Stuart I have 
                      found the site to go to 
                     relive stress. Oh yeah.  Just
                     click on the blinkie here:
                     
   

                       Hopefully the links in this
                       entry will open a new window
                       And Pamela look the blinkie
                       has no ugly frame around it.

Wow, I love this whole entry, well, except for the fact that you're working so hard. Carpets are such a pain to deal with. Wish I were there to help. Must say, Kathy, if I had to vote on which Kathy tag I like the most it would be difficult. I really love the one used in this entry. Hugs. *Barb*

LOL I can definitely relate to the no carpet thing!  I gave up on having carpet years ago.  Now if I could just teach 'em not to hurl on the bedspread.  Love your green daisy background.. very unique!  ¤Holly

Cats and carpets definitely do not mix. In fact, cats and anything-you-want-to-keep-nice-in-your-entire-house do not mix.

Good luck on getting all that carpet up.  My mother got sick of her wallpaper one day and just decided to start ripping it off.  LOL  She got about half of it off [a HUGE mess] and then got tired of the project. To this day, she still has only half her wallpaper in the master bath.  Moral of the story?  Once you start, don't stop!!  LOL
