Sorry to begin this way, but this is real life in my house this morning.
These are the characters and events of the past 15 minutes of my life:
Family members present: 4
Pets present: 2
Events: 3
Event 1: Thomas bouncing around the room, banging into various people, furniture, etc. He then knocked a can of Mountain Dew on the floor -lucky for him it was his MD. He goes to get supplies to clean it up.
Event 2: Bella (standard poodle) bouncing around the room, banging into various people, furniture (jumped up on the sofa with Dean-not cool), etc. She then went over to the corner and ralphed a huge pile of her breakfast. Thomas and I go get supplies to clean it up.
Event 3: Bella bouncing around the room, banging into various people, furniture, etc. She then knocked over a glass of water full of ice on the floor. Thomas goes to get supplies to clean it up.
Event 4: (oh, yeah there were more than 3 events) Bella boucing around the room, banging into various people, furniture, etc. She then ralphed another huge pile of her breakfast. I get supplies to clean it up.
Bonus 1: Nobody yelled or cussed-except if you count Dean saying, "What the flip?"
Bonus 2: Everyone resumed their normal activities of surfing, watching tv, bouncing, and talking as if nothing had happened.
Bonus 3: Even with 2 whole family members absent, this is a pretty happenin' place.
