Furniture in a Perfect World

If we all lived in a perfect world, there would never be those accidents that happen and put that unwanted stain or wear and tear on our furniture. Sadly, since we do live in reality, we have to deal with all the wonderful mishaps that come with life. I am no stranger to messing things up and let me tell you my two daughters are really good at it, too. Throw in the cat and its shenanigans and you have a delightful recipe for disaster waiting to happen.

I am always really good about using the sofa closest to my front door to stack all my stuff when I walk through the door. While I am would never get on to my kids about doing this, sometimes, life does its best to make you realize that even the most benign of actions can have disastrous consequences. One time, I left a bag from the grocery store sitting on the couch because I set it down to answer my phone as I came in the house. Not a big deal in most cases, but this time it just happened to be ice cream and it melted while I was distracted. It also happened to be tilted on its side and inside a paper grocery sack. By the time I noticed that it had leaked all over my sofa, it was way too late and I spent quite a bit of time trying to clean up the chocolate stains. 

My oldest daughter has basically laid claim to the loveseat and she creates what I call a nest every time she sits down. The nests consist of crafting supplies, cords for electronic devices, half-empty bottles of water, and if I am not around to catch her eating, plates and used napkins. I can't tell you how many times we've gone round and round about eating on the loveseat without using the dinner trays. 

As for my youngest, she loves sitting on the floor and makes a pallet out of blankets. That's just her thing to do when we all get ready to watch something in the living room. I don't complain because she has to clean most of it up and shes not making her nest on the actual furniture. However, she still climbs all over the living room furniture set like its some kind of jungle gym when she is playing make-believe.

Those Litle Devils!

I Only Looked Away for a Split Second As parents, we do our best to look out for our children and keep them safe. The same can be said about most pet owners, as well. Sometimes, we may cross the line and spoil them a little bit... or, maybe a lot. The interesting thing about raising children and taking care of pets is that there is a dichotomy in the relationship. As mentioned before, we want to keep them safe. On the other hand, we do our best to keep our things safe from them! Pets can make a real mess of things in a very short timeframe. From chewing shoes to chewing sofa cushions, dogs have the capability to do some damage. Cats and their claws seem to think that the couch or recliner is their personal scratching post. While some people's pets behave or are docile, some can be real terrors. You may love your dog or cat, but let's face it, sometimes they can be jerks. My cat seems to think that 3 a.m. is the perfect time to tear across the entire house and across almost all

Spring Has Sprung - More Time Outdoors

Longer Days and Warmer Weather This winter has had its ups and downs. Just when you think it was over, here came another week or more of cold weather. I guess winter just wasn't ready to loosen its icy grip just because an underground dwelling rodent said it was time. While the groundhog was a little off with his prognosticating this year, spring seems to have finally come. All in all, I bet a lot of people are happy about this change of season.  Not to be a stick in the mud, but spring coming is always a mixed bag for me. I do enjoy the milder weather, but I seriously could do without all the allergies. I am sure the over-the-counter allergy medicine companies are happy for my patronage, I feel like I have to make a personal budget just for nasal sprays and pills. I look at other people who aren't allergic to grass and wonder what it feels like to be able to mow your own yard without wearing a respirator.  Outdoor Furniture Some days can be worse than others
