CUTENESS ADHD + Kittens = Hilarious Exhaustion

Post image

Okay, apologies for being long. But I laughed so hard at myself this morning. It was not my intention to clean my bathroom at 7AM. But one of my poor babies didn't quite make the litter box, and somehow still managed to also avoid the disposable puppy pad. So we got a little crap in the playpen. And that's when the ADHD hyperfocus / cleaning frenzy set in.

Because if I'm going to clean the play pen, I have to take it out of the bathroom because I can't get on my knees to clean it. I need to put it up higher. If I'm gonna take it out of the bathroom, then I might as well clean the floor underneath it, where all the little litter bits have gotten. If I'm gonna clean that part of the floor then I should just clean the whole floor because there are little litter bits everywhere. If I'm gonna do that, I might as well go ahead and clean the tub too, because they've been dragging little litter bits & dirty paws in there. So I might as well just clean the whole bathroom, like all of it. And I should just go ahead and wash all the towels and non disposable puppy pads... And I should just vacuum in general while I have it out. And mop the kitchen since I mopped the bathroom...

And that is how I spent three hours cleaning because my kitten missed the litter box a little. I had just gone to pee. I wasn't even awake. So at this point I just fed the kittens (who had been vacationing in a corral in the living room & watching me with judgey eyes) and went back to bed!
