Okay I've decided I should actually post something. I thought I would tell you about where I got the name for this blog. I have two children and three cats who enjoying walking slowly right in front of me whenever I'm trying to get somewhere to do something for them. My children aren't so bad, but my cats have made it an artform.

Whenever I walk to their bowls they walk right where I'm about to step for some reason they don't understand that this is counterproductive. I almost always step on one of them. Their other favorite thing to do is run out of my way when I'm walking past them. The only problem with this is they always choose to run right under my feet. Again sometimes they get runover because I don't realize they are doing this until it's too late. Fortunately, for them I've started anticipating this and can dodge them, most of the time. So that is where this blog gets its name not fancy, but certainly accurate.

It gets even more interesting when you have lousy peripheral vision. I'm sorry, but if you have chosen to plant yourself anywhere besides right in front of my face, don't complain when I step on you!

My kids do this ... I don't say they're underfoot, though - I say they're hangin' outta my ass.

Bungee jumpin with my hemorrhoids.

Twangin' my last nerve.

You get the idea.

Very appropriate. I should start a new blog called "kicking the cat across the room" because there have been a few times .... well, I'll tell you more about this in person rather than foolishly put it in writing. I think Suzie would agree with my decision on this one.
