Not cutie cutie!!

No it's not cutie, cutie when you discover your child has taken to the wallpaper in her room with a pen to express the anger she was feeling from being sent to bed before her older siblings.  Even less 'cutie, cutie' when it's a rental property that you are planning to shift from in the next month!!  Apparently, she was drawing a happy face to make herself feel better.  However, it sure as hell didn't make her father or I have a very happy face.

So, what does that mean now?  Anybody know?  Yes, I have tried the 'jif' and it was a huge failure.  In fact, according to my husband, I have made it worse.  I have now blenched the wallpaper around the super sonic jif repellant pen markings. 

Here we are renting after selling our old house three years ago when the market was good.... waiting for the perfect time to buy again.  Now, that time has come.  The house prices and interest rates have dropped.  So just when we start seriously looking for a new place the apple of my eye decides to redecorate her room herself. 

If that's not bad enough, my husband catches his arm on the kitchen cupboard he left open and manages to smash the glass in the door.  But at least the husband pays his way, unlike our cat (a Burmese), that appears to be more spoilt than any child here. We have just discovered the large holes he has recently clawed in the window seat and on the carpet on the bottom of the staircase.  Apparently, the huge $80 scratch post we brought him for such occasions just isn't to his liking.  That cat is becoming more of a snob with each passing year.  Grrrr
