Why I Am Up

Look very carefully at that picture.

It’s 1 AM.

Amy and I just got done spending the last hour cleaning up because of that thing.

Look back at the picture. She’s tiny. She might weigh 30 pounds soaking wet in clothes. Never underestimate the cargo hold of 3 year-old.

She walks into the bedroom, says something that neither one of understands. It’s around midnight. She starts running out of the room and right there in front of the television and door - it flys out. SPLAT. And it keeps coming.

Kirby Vaccuums are wonderful things. They’ve got this foam, carpet thing that takes 35 minutes to figure out how to use, then 3 minutes to actually use it.

Never boring.

    To bad Steve wasn’t there to help clean it up!

    I’ve been blessed with four of those “things”. Lot’s of SPLAT….and great stories once you are on the other side of the events! Thanks for sharing - and not only is she tiny…she’s beautiful!

    Sorry to hear about that. We have had our own splats this weekend starting Friday night at 10 PM (when catbird was away speaking at a women’s retreat). Hopefully we are out of the woods.

    I have the same attachment for my Kirby, pain in the rear, but it works!
