Which partly explains my title.
Also, a couple of nights ago my kitty barfed up a tapeworm. Thankfully, it was in the middle of the night, and Darin heard it (the cat barfing), found it (the barfy tapeworm), and cleaned it up before anybody (me) saw it. That day, he took the cat to the vet for worm shots and disinfected the entire house. Love that man.
This also partly explains my title.
Finally, my daughter (of all people - seriously) put a fake mouse under my bathroom sink. So the other day, after reading about the wicked witch of the west the night before, who lived in squalor and filth, then waking up in the morning to hear about tapeworm vomit, then opening my bathroom cupboard to retrieve my makeup box and finding a mouse, I about called it quits.
Life can be so rough, no?
Here's today's five:
1. Drum roll please........I got a promotion! I went back to school to get my master's in the hopes of becoming an associate director of the admissions office. The person currently in that position was slated to retire in five years. As luck (or higher power) would have it, she took another position in the same office, and I got her job. Beginning August 1.
2. No live mice in sight.
3. I didn't actually have to see a tapeworm. Although I spent my entire lunch break that day googling cats and tapeworms, and it was pretty disgusting. Why do I torture myself like that? I didn't really like the cats in the first place, and this didn't help.
4. Not sure if I like the book Wicked, but I love books on tape.
5. Darin. He's a stay at home dad to three - ahem - energetic kids, runs his own (successful) real estate investment business, and saves me from tapeworms and dirty houses. That's what I call a knight in shining armor!
