Ms. En. - Maybe I'd Better Take a Look at My Fireplace Hearth

Word of the Day

Jumpskiffling - To jump around like a complete moron because of something stupid.

With a grandchild coming to visit, I didn't need anyone to point out that I might want to wash the kitchen floor. I took care of it this morning after breakfast. My kitchen floor is now clean enough to eat off of. Well...at least it's clean. I wouldn't want to eat off it but at least it's not toxic. I'm a firm believer that a little ingested dirt won't hurt anyone...adds immunities to the system. However, having said that, my floor is clean. I just want to point out that I do have a dog who walks on said floor and so does HTP and so do I. But, aside from whatever HTP and I and the dog track in, the floor is clean. I even used Mr. Clean...the one that kills germs. So, Ms. En, if a Cheerio or even several Cheerios drop on my floor, and if your Mom and Dad say it's OK to eat said dropped Cheerio(s), you can eat off my kitchen floor.

DD Daughter told me yesterday that I didn't have to take Gypsy's toys away for fear that Ms. En may decide to munch on them. Ewwww! Dog spit? Well, I guess DD Daughter has inherited my opinion about immunities. Gypsy won't mind sharing her toys with Ms. En and DD Daughter tells me that Ms. En has already learned to share so she won't mind if Gypsy decides to take her toys back...gently. I think a little parental supervision may be warranted...and grand-parental supervision. We wouldn't want Ms. En and Gypsy playing tug-a-war over Gypsy's stuffed duck. And I'm sure that it won't kill Ms. En if Ms. En decides she likes the flavor of Gypsy's new dog food (the dry stuff, not the special stew...which won't be an issue because Gypsy will be eating her stew before Ms. En is up and about.)

I've still got time before I baby-proof the living room. I'll have to move a few things that Ms. En may decide to pull herself up on or find interesting to explore and put in her mouth. As I watch TV tonight, I'll have to glance around and see what might be better stored in my closet or down in the basement for the week. For sure, I'll have to take the telescope down to the basement.
