Lo and behold, shortly after that prayer meeting, I found out our cats were loaded with fleas! Aaaggg! I ended up spending most of the week bathing the cats, giving them a flea treatment from the Vet’s office, and thoroughly vacuuming and cleaning the entire house. I also set up an appointment for an exterminator to come out and spray the house. We had to vacuum again thoroughly before he came, and move items away from the walls and off the floors as much as possible. Then, we all (including the cats) had to be out of the house for at least 4 hours while the treatment dried. (Thank you to my friend, Rachel, for allowing us to crash her place for a few hours!) When we got back home, the floors needed to be vacuumed once again before we could let the cats out and move furniture back into place. Ugh! What an exhausting week! Has anyone ever told you to be careful what you pray for? Well, this is a classic example of that! LOL.
Oh well.... I’m so thankful we found the fleas before all their eggs hatched and we had thousands of little hopping, biting black bugs all over us. God is good.... ALL the time.
Poor kitties.... No more going outside for recess....
Glad that's all over for you now. I guess the one bright spot is that your house is probably so clean that you could skip spring cleaning next year!
ReplyDeleteLOL! You're probably right, Mary! At least for the major deep cleaning stuff. But, the youngest member of our family came down with the stomach flu last night, so I guess I'll be doing MORE cleaning to help get rid of all those germs. Such is life.
