Hi all!
Any idea how many feathers it takes to fill a goose down pillow? 
Well I can tell you a technical term is a "butt load"
because of the amount I am still in the process of cleaning thanks to one of my two big dogs who were ohhh sooooo happy to hold a scientific experiment while we were gone.
Yup! Got home last night at 5 p.m. to a Macy's Thankgiving Day Parade confettipalooza ala feathers.
Reason # 198740230 why a person should not have your ex watch your animals while you are gone.
Oh....did I forget to mention the small factoid that our dog sitter backed out at the last minute?
Yup and our dependable neighbor Leah who did a fantabulous job while we were at burn camp was with us so she was obviously a no go as well. So he was the last resort and since I again, was doing the majority of the packing, unpacking, moving and time with Treyner to get him to college, I figured he could help out in some capacity.
I AM A MORON. If he was helpless before, what on this earth made me feel he could handle this project?
Desperation, that's what!
Seems a few nights ago there was a storm and shutting windows was a neccessity but making sure you shut the door behind you to close off bedrooms, was not.
Now the dogs are good most of the time but he was not able to run them like usual the 2 days before we came home so they were bored and bored + a down pillow = a lot of fun to a dog. I gather that fact because it was just not torn into and left in one bedroom but dispursed througout the house!
Actually what I am gathering is over 2 trashbags full of feathers.
Then you have the best part which is feathers blow in the wind or any simple air movement so they are in corners, closets, tops of shelves and I found one in the fridge last night.
Not Happy!!!! Hearing, "Well they are not my dogs and you are not paying me so be greatfull," does not make me less perturbed. A simple warning I would be walking into a horror movie from some fine feathered friends would have been nice as well.
The worst is I need to think of retaliation but it is going to be harder to do than I would like.
When we were together and he really made me mad I had easy access to his belongings to seek revenge.
Like replacing the top inch of his toothpaste tube with babies diaper rash "Desetin." It took time and a toothpick but it was so worth it! That wake up, brush your teeth to have a sparkling smile and fresh breath had a whole new meaning that morning!
Off to continue to pluck feathers from varies cracks and crevices around the house and hopefully they will not be mine!
BTW - I will finish the last TR before the end of tomorrow. That way I can start this one with a clean slate!!!
Thanks for all the support guys in reading these tales of the road. I miss you all when I am gone!
Pee in the ocean for me! Hehehe, just a joke people, just a joke!
and get back to your TR! It was great meeting you and your family. Had a great time! Can't wait to see pictures!
