I guess it's come to this....

Ever since we moved here to Nebraska and my cat will not go outside and use the bathroom anymore we have had a constant issue of her "missing" the litter box. Sara is part Mane Coon as far as we can tell so she is a little bit of a bigger cat. Well, her current litter box isn't quite deep enough and she prefers to back right up to the side of the box and pee...well this is a problem! With her being bigger and the litter box not deep enough she is constantly peeing over the side!! Yes that's right..she gets in the litter box and then pretty much hangs her butt over and pees! Every morning and sometime multiple times a day we are spraying 409 and cleaning up cat pee...it's gross! I just did a google search on deeper litter boxes and came across this!


Yep..this is Shawn's DIY project for this weekend! If this isn't deep enough to keep her from peeing outside the box, I don't know what we are going to do!

Fundraiser...

Last Thursday we went to Savannah's new preschool for 'meet the teacher/back to school' night or something like that. Well when we got Savannah's folder with all the info for the year in it, it also contained a thick packet which is their "first of the year fundraiser." It's Yankee Candles. Seriously? Fundraiser for preschool? I think it's stupid. I hate fundraisers! I can't stand guilting people into buying over priced crap so the school can make a little money. I would honestly rather just make a donation towards whatever they are trying to raise money for than ask people to buy something they can get in the store for cheaper!

Yeah, I'm a lame mom who won't be participating in the fundraiser...oh well.


BTW the only "fundraiser" I approve of is Girl Scout Cookies!!! lol!

And you know, while we're on the subject..I also really, really hate all of the "pampered chef" "party lite" "tastefully simple" type parties. I avoid them at all cost because I either end up buying something out of guilt that I will never use or didn't need, or will feel guilty not buying something for the exact same reasons. I don't own any Pampered Chef crap and don't feel like I am missing out on anything. I am perfectly happy with my chefmate target crap and I don't need Tupperware to store my leftovers...ziplock is just fine for me!


She now has 2 teeth!
