HouseKeeper of the Year

Today mom took the Christmas tree down and she's been doing a lot of heavy-duty cleaning to get stuff back to an order that we all can live with. I've been trying to do my part too but I sorta keep getting yelled at. Mom says I'm going the wrong way with helping out and that I'm making more of a mess. She's calling me Messy Maggie today and I just can't understand why! I'm trying to organize my toy basket. I wanted to put all the toys on the bottom that hardly ever get played with so that all of my favorite's can be right there on top so I can just grab and run.




After an hour had passed and I had played as well as organized, I decided to take a nap. Meanwhile, mom was upstairs with the evil Hoover and the two of them were making lots of noise together. It suddenly got quiet and I could hear mom and Hoov coming back downstairs. They rounded the corner and mom stopped dead in her tracks! Oh boy, I think I'm in trouble again! Mom asked me what I had been doing productive and I showed her my toy basket all neat as a pin but she didn't see that part. She was glaring at me in my nest!

What????????? I was only trying to catch a few winks. Now what??!! And by the way, can't a girl ever get any shut-eye without that blasted camera blinding her 25 times a day!!! Mom huffed off taking Hoover with her and the two of them started making more noise in the family room. Meanwhile, I hear the mailman coming down the street - I know, I know - the new year's resolution - be more kind and loving to him. Well I'm trying - but I do have to bark, bark, bark and let mom know that he's across the street and on his way here. Mom looks up from vacuuming - looks at me and then looks at the window. Uh oh! I think I'm in deep doodoo again!

Maggie, she says, I just cleaned that window yesterday! Look at all of that nose art on that glass! I think I'm in the doghouse!

When mom finally puts evil Hoover away I guess I'll have to go play suck up to get on her better side. Wish me luck and in the meantime this is what I think of house work.............

Here's hoping mom forgives me soon.

Until next time..........

Love ya lots,

Maggie

  3. Hi Maggie,
    I'm sure your mom will be over being mad at you in no time at all!! Just give her that huge Aire grin and she'll melt into a puddle. Works EVERY time.

  5. Just when I get all my toys out of the basket and placed where I want them, my Human comes along, picks them all up and puts them back in the basket! Dang! Then I have to start all over...

  11. Oooo... sounds like some big trouble you got yourself into. I tried to "clean up" the kitty litter one time & MaMa was upset! I dono why either cos I diligently "scoop" all the poopoo out of the pan.

    Anyway, I wish you luck Maggie. It took me 3hours, hope yours is only 3mins...
