7 days from yesterday.

we had our carpets cleaned yesterday.
i was so scared the cleaner was going to turn around and see me taking his picture and think i was weird.
although, now it seems more weird that i took it without him knowing...
whichever.
so what does this all mean?
it means that for a week we will be extremely careful about taking off our shoes and having clean feet on our carpet.
we will be all worked up over spills,
cleaning them immediately.
and be jumpy whenever the kids are eating meatballs.
in fact, meatball night may be skipped entirely this week.
and then 7 days from yesterday we will no longer care and the stains will slowly come back.
so just to be safe,
don't come over for the next 7 days from yesterday.
that way you won't be blamed.
i suppose the same thing goes for the new car.
but maybe it will last for an entire month.

This reminds me: Call the carpet cleaner.

Buy magic erasers.

Find temporary care for the dog.

Carpet will still get dirty.

Sigh.
