Waiting

I recently celebrated another birthday.
I had a great day. Someone special made the meals.
Everyone cleaned up, except me!!
I was even able to get adequate rest before going into work that night.
Overall, a pretty good day.
Tuesday, I decided to give myself a birthday gift.
I bought some pretty cool patio furniture.
The idea is that since we spend so much time outside, we might as well make our patio into that extra living space about which designers on television preach.
It is supposed to be delivered today. When it is all set up, I will be sure to take a few photos.
At the moment I'm killing time by brushing all the cats and making a list of things that need to be thoroughly cleaned tomorrow morning.
You see, Napoleon

has decided to give the gift that just keeps on giving and giving and giving.....
FLEAS
AGAIN!!!
Napoleon excels at this particular task.
Every time he plans his elaborate escape, he seems to always bring his fuzzy brothers a little surprise.
So as has become a tradition in our little household,
tomorrow we will clean, bathe, bleach, fumigate and once again try and conquer Napoleon's gift.
At least this year we will have pretty cool furniture to hang out on!
