I'm definitely coming down with something. Cold, flu, I'm not sure. But something. So this morning I stayed in bed forever, debating whether or not I was even going to mess with working today. Then I remembered the meeting I couldn't miss. So that answered that question. I dragged myself out of bed and down to the bathroom where I discovered that the hair definitely had to be started over from scratch. Sometimes I can get away with a quick and dirty (literally) fix but not today. So I started over. By the time I got done washing my hair it was already 7:05. I'm supposed to leave home at 7:30.
Can you already see the problem?
On my way to the kitchen to make coffee, I noticed that the litter box was beyond problematic, so I stopped to clean it. Then when I got to the kitchen, I remembered I needed to finish loading the dishwasher and start it because I have major baking to do tonight.
By that time it was 7:15 and I was still in my robe and my hair was still in a towel. I found the end piece to my counter on top of the counter, and the bottle of super glue next to it. Mom and Dad are coming to town today and I know they're stopping by the house. If they found that end piece not glued back on yet, they'd do it for me. I decided to fix that before work.
That's when I saw it.
On my way to the office (at home, not the work office) to get tape to hold the glued piece in place until the glue dried, I saw the seven foot tree dead on its side in the middle of the living room. Two NOT so innocent felines sat next to it with completely expressionless faces.
I said (in my calmest voice), "I don't know which one of you is responsible for this, but it had better not happen again." They left. Wise choice.
So I had to put the tree back up and redecorate the side that had become suddenly naked. Time finished? 7:28. Guess what? I didn't leave on time.
HOWEVER, let the record show, I made it to work on time with hair and makeup in place. About that counter piece, though....I hid it on top of my desk amid some picture frames. I doubt they'll find it there.

That is too funny. Would love to see pics.. but I'm sure you weren't thinking that this morning. We caught our cats trying to climb the tree when they were kittens, but now they are just happy to tear up the tree skirt and leave white fluff balls all over it.
you want to know the funny thing?? AFTER i got to work, i thought WHAT WAS I THINKING??? A PERFECT PHOTO OPP AND I MISSED IT. I knew that I was seriously issue laden when I actually contemplated a reenactment for the sake of the scrapbook.
One year, my friend's cat ate the tinsle off her tree. We were pulling tinsle out the cat's butt forever. GROSS.
ewwww....that is so funny but ewwww!!!! LOL. I haven't had the strength to try that with Braeya in the house. I think Kaegan would leave it alone but she cannot be trusted!!!!
