Benny has been in a very bad mood lately. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that he didn�t pass his fireman exam. It was a practical, and I know he could do it with his hands tied behind his back but he let the stress of the day get to him and forgot some very important stuff. So now I get to walk on eggshells until he�s in a better mood. I�ve become really good at this eggshell walking bit. When he gets home, ranting about work, I usually just keep my mouth shut and try to calm him down. Now it�s really starting to get on my nerves. I want to whack him over the head with my skillet just to shut him up about work. Maybe he�ll get over it soon, otherwise I�ll keep my skillet handy.

I finally retired my trusty mop. I almost cried. It�s hard to find a good mop these days. My old �Goodie� mop has been with me for almost three years. It was stylish and it was the type that had the little rollers that squeeze the excess water out of the sponge. I�ve only had to replace the sponge a few times and I put that thing through the ringer. Unfortunately they have discontinued my mop, and I can no longer find the replacement sponges anywhere. *single tear* So I had to go find a new mop. This one is a little flashier with its red exterior and not only does it have a sponge end but it also has a scrubbing brush attachment. It was almost like buying a new car, it was sad to let the old one go but the new one is so much better!
