Finding Humor in Small Houses

I live in a small house that is 800 square feet. I have lived in this house for 30 years and have raised 2 kids, and am still raising 2 kids. With 2 kids living at home along with 2 birds, a cat, a dog, and 8 puppies, oh yes we have one goldfish. Now it's not bad enough that the birds throw bird seed all over the living room floor and I have to vaccum up the mess twice a day. The cat has a paralyzed tail that she drags through the mud, water and anything else she can find to drag it through and washes the floors and furniture with whatever her tail has soaked up. Now I have 8 puppies with a mommy dog that is not the least bit interested in being a mother of her 4 week old pups who are now pooping and peeing everywhere and chewing the plywood escaping the kitchen. As we tip toe through the many messes of the animals, I watch my granddaughter of 5 and my son's live in's boy of 6 and 7. Now I am being told that I am neglecting the boys when they are over here! How do you figure I have time to neglect the boys when I am so busy cleaning up after 12 animals, my own 2 kids and working part-time. Something just doesn't sound right!

You have to find some humor in this, though I think that I am the crazy one. I thought I would have time to find a male friend to spend some time with! Who am I kidding? Maybe I should find someone who just whats to kidnap me. Calgone take me away!!!
