Vacuuming Sucks…Literally

My family thinks I’m anal.
OCD is another term they like to throw around.
This morning…I played right into their accusations!

It was 4a.m. and I couldn’t sleep.
(Did I mention I’m an insomniac as well?!?)
So I started cleaning the house.
Really cleaning the house.

One might even suggest I got carried away.
I’m a vacuum freak; I’ll vacuum anything or anyone.
Today…the top of the gas range seemed like a good idea.

Warning to all other vacuum freaks.
DO NOT VACCUM THE GAS STOVE.
REPEAT…
DO NOT VACCUM THE GAS STOVE.

Funny thing about fire and how fast it travels.
Apparently the force of the vacuum sucked the pilot light right into the end of my hose.
It was quite a light show…trust me on this one!

So now the Oreck sits in the middle of my kitchen as I down my 4th cup of Joe. Something tells me it’s not going anywhere and I’m going to have a long day.
