I hear ya Bruce!!

I was surfing the internet for some funny peoms and rhymes to share with the kids in reading class tomorrow, when I fell upon a poem that made me laugh my head off! Sis, this poem is for you:) I know I should've said that earlier, but better late than never! THIS is how I feel.....

I'd Rather
(by Bruce Lansky)

I’d rather wash the dishes.
I’d rather kiss a frog.
I’d rather get an F in math
or run a ten-mile jog.
I’d rather do my homework.
I’d rather mow the lawn.
I’d rather take the garbage out.
I’d rather wake at dawn.
I’d rather dine on Brussels sprouts
or catch the chicken pox.
I’d rather do most anything
than clean the litter box.

That should explain why I sucked at my "litter box cleaning" duties- that and why our "Crazy Cat" soon became a "Smelly Cat"!

Aaaakh. Good times, good times :P I hate to say this (or do I?) but sis you pretty much suck at anything that doesn't involve cuddling the cat. Practical skills, nill. Claw clipping anyone? Brushing? Umm, ringworm treatment la sama7a Allah? Bathe cat?
Hey! What is that you DID do ya wliyyeh?

Hey!!! Easy woman, I still have scars from the time I decided to give the little monster a nice relaxing "bubble bath"- and I'm talking physical AND emotional scars:P
Trauma. Trauma. Trauma.
I did mean well you know!
Ungrateful cat and sis:P

Man. I was scared for you that day. I was in Kuwait when mom told me you intended to bathe the monster. It's definitely NOT a one person job. I was worried he'd get the jugular. I'm so happy you relented, and thus survived. I would have missed you terribly (and the cat would have still been smelly). Heh.
