    I Saved my Vacuum’s Life

    Not too long ago, my Hoover vacuum died. And today, I was almost certain that the new eureka! was going to face the same fate.

    To be honest, I wasn’t even too unhappy about it, as I really hate the thing. I don’t think it’s good for anything other than cleaning up pet hair (which it does quite well), but as far as regular vacuuming goes, it does a lot of pushing things around, and shooting the stuff it’s supposed to be sucking up out and all over the place. It takes far too long to clean up any type of normal mess. I wouldn’t mind a replacement. But then again, I would have been on to vacuum number 3, in under a year  because of toy invasion.

    Anyway, I guess Iron Man was on some legit exploration mission today because he managed to get caught up in my “purple spitter.”

    And I mean, he was really lodged in there. I thought we were going to have to get rid of both the toy and this vacuum…

    After about 15 minutes of wiggling and pulling and twisting the red super hero, I was pretty content to just leave him in there.

    But the food on the floor behind him was bothering me.

    So I worked a bit harder a few minutes more, and managed to pry him out, and get my floor fairly clean. I don’t like carpet. I never really feel like it’s truly clean. Eventually I want to lay down hardwood floors, but I’m saving that post for another day.

    Happy vacuuming!
