so i am not much of a pessimist nor are my children but something funny occured this eve.
Backup a week: our cat likes sam's room. so much that, he has marked his territory in there and i wasn't too happy about this. since then, i have SCRUBBED his carpet numerous times becuase the smell just wasn't coming out... (sidenote: cat has been banned from this room- his door is shut 24-7). so this past week i have gone in out of his room putting laundry away, getting him ready for bed etc. and his room CONTINUES to stink-a-roo! i again, spent hours scrubbing his floors wondering HOW on earth this cat has been getting into his room. as brilliant as i know i am, this was not one of those moments. today, jon astutely asks if maybe it is SAM peeing on his carpet........
DUH.
glad: that sam is an honest-abe and admitted to the whole thing.
sad: that he cannot walk ten feet to his bathroom in the mornings to get it done.
as WE were cleaning his floors for my fifth time this past week, i gave him a look and said, "sam, i am not happy about you peeing on your floor. please do not do this again. if this happens again, you will have a more serious consequence." sam kindly apologized, kissed my cheek and said, " if i do it again, i will be doomed?" yes, sam..... doomed!
