We don't have TV

Because Comcast thinks it's cool to charge us $140 a month for crappy internet and even crappier TV. So instead of my normal Monday routine of sleeping in late and getting caught up on all my shows, this is how my day went.

Wake up to Meeko barking.

Let him out of his cage and let him run around knowing that Rick had already taken him potty outside.

Lay back down.

Wake up again to Meeko licking my face. Apparently he can now jump up on the bed.

Push him off the bed.

Wake up again to the sound of Meeko chewing on something. It was my coat that was on the ground. The same one he had just peed all over. Sweet.

Get up. Clean the pee up, and start a load of laundry.

Go into the living room and turn the TV on only to realize that watching TV is no longer an option.

Put the dishes away.

Notice every little thing in my house that is not perfectly clean. Make a mental list of said things.

Clean off our "junk" tables. Go through millions of papers and receipts that we no longer need even though Rick loves to keep every receipt from every purchase he's ever made. Including ones from our trip to Disneyland almost a year ago.

Take Meeko potty outside.

Give Meeko a bath.

Chase Meeko around the house and struggle to overpower a 7 pound puppy so that I can brush his freaking hair.

Start the second load of laundry.

Walk down the hallway and step in something wet. More pee. Amazing.

Try to figure out why my dog, who has been doing so well with potty training, and who we have taught to ring a bell whenever he needs to go potty, has peed in my house twice today. Realize that 80% of his potty accidents happen when he is under my direct supervision.

Give my maternal instincts a high five.

Put Meeko in his cage so that I get to hear him bark and cry at me for the next 2 hours.

Deep clean the bathroom.

Clean all the mirrors in the house.

Put away laundry, start 3rd load.

Sweep and mop the kitchen floor.

Vacuum the stairs.

Clean the entry way.

Make the bed and straighten up the bedroom.

Vacuum upstairs.

Put more laundry away, start 4th load.

Take a shower.

Organize stuff in family room.

Make an appointment to get my caveman unibrow waxed.

Do some research on how much it costs to have Meeko's manhood snipped off.

Go to the post office.

Go grocery shopping.

Come home, start 5th load of laundry.

Make dinner.

Blog about it.

Days off are so fun. I can only imagine how much more fun they'll be when we have kids.
