Deja Vu

I got off of my ass this morning to do some cleaning before I got changed to take Moggie to buy the Chipmunks movie. I reached for the vacuum, only to see that our freaking wiener dog has chewed off the cord, again. I just had this thing repaired in February and here it is, April 1, and the $40 cord is gnawed to bits. She always has excellent timing with this crap, too. Last time, it was days before a big work function here at our house, then this time it's days before MIL is due to land for a long visit. I'm currently PMSing like a mo-fo and I love to vacuum because it drowns out the constant begging for shit from the children.
