I made my mom cry.....

Hi, my friends.

Freddy here.

Yeah.  It's true.  I made my mom cry today, but really, it wasn't all my fault.

We woke up this morning and there were ants crawling all over the kitchen countertop.  A little spray of RAID, the can was left on the counter so the ants could see they really didn't need to crawl around there any more....and the problem was solved sort of solved.

Next.  Bunk beds.  Our baseball players and all their friends have gone home, so it's time to straighten up our little guest house.  They were very neat and tidy, but we had to change out the linens, right?  We HATE to make top bunks.  Mommy got on the internet because she was sure some smart 30-something mom had figured this out.  Nope.  The best trick was not to put on a top sheet, but we already knew that trick.  We made all the other beds (only two) and left the bunks.  Can't face it today.  Because while she was out getting a new pretty bedspread, I pee-peed by the front door.  oops.  Not my fault.  Daddy didn't take me out while she was gone.  Mom takes me out best.  So not really Dad's fault either.  Daddy changed my peepee pad but didn't tape it down.  Mommy almost slipped when she came in with her packages.  Not my fault. 

So while mommy was on her hands and knees taping down my pad, she discovered that the slipcover on the chair wasn't looking very nice along the bottom.  Like maybe some peepee had splashed up on it sometime?  So....she ripped off the slipcover and is washing it with all the bed linens.  Wasn't it lucky that she was already doing laundry? Some things just work out perfectly I always say.

Before she tossed the cover in the washer, she let me go outside.  (Remember, she does it best, right?)  I went out.  I let myself back in right away (I can work the screen door...I gave you a tutorial here but don't read that post too closely because obviously my bathroom habits have changed in the past couple years).....and promptly pooped on the carpet.

I actually heard her scream....

FREDDY!  NO!!!!!!!

although it sounded more like  'FREDDY!  NO!' to my deaf ears.

And then she cried.

It was 10:30 in the morning. 

 

She really should have saved the tears for later. 

There is still so much day left!!!

 

Your friend,

Oh Freddy! Tell your mom how sorry I am. I live with three cats and a 14 year old dog. Almost every day someone leaves me a surprise.

Oops.

❤️❤️❤️ Hopefully the day will get better. Hugs

Freddie, your mom loves you but she can get tired like the rest of us. Keep trying to handle your needs on a pad or outside. Love to your mom!

[Katrine]

So sorry Freddy and you are having a hard time. You're doing your best and he is too, but sometimes it is overwhelming. I have been right where you are and sometimes the only thing to do is cry. Thinking of you and hoping the next days are easier. Katrine

Oh dear, Freddy. Sounds like you and your mom have had quite a day! Good thing your mom is such a nice lady...

[Amber]

Dear Freddy,

Sorry about your little problem. We have made our mom cry and we aren't even old, we're just bunnies and there is SO. MUCH. POOP. Don't worry, our moms love us anyway!

Basil and Stu the bunnies

Thanks, Stu and Basil.  I need to remind mom of her ‘bunny’ years.  She had a bunny once who tore up her whole dorm room. I’m a real bargain compared to that!!! 

[steph@woolythyme]

yes, miss Deb….she’s a keeper.  Hoping I’m a keeper, too!!!

[steph@woolythyme]

Thanks, Miss Lee.  I keep telling mom…life is just one big surprise package.  Embrace it!

Oh Freddy! Of course it wasn't you. I blame the bunk beds and the ants. They have really worn Mom out. But be as nice as you can to Mom because, poor mom and you know, beastly bunk beds and what not. She needs a little reprieve.

[Eileen]

Oh dear, So sorry for the frustrating day! Days like that I either want to return to bed or hide somewhere by myself and we all have them;-)

[Amber]

Yeah, we like to do a bit of "bunstruction" ourselves. The chair legs and the underside of the upholstery are almost complete...we haven't determined our next project yet. We've seen your work on ball bands, and we approve!

[Caroline]

Oh dear. Sending you and your mom a big hug and a better day xx

Hey Dude! Buddy here! Mom's always forgive us, whatever we do, don't they? You know why? Because whenever they walk in the door, we act like they're the most magnificent creatures on earth. They know how much we love them! And what amazes me is that no human is ever as happy to see another human as we are when we see our moms! I bet she's kissing the top of your head already.

[steph@woolythyme]

Thanks, Miss Caroline.  I, personally, have continued to have wonderful days.  I think Mom just freaked out over those ants (a problem we hadn’t had for over a year!!!), but she’s good now that they are gone!
