Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / July 2004DH brought home new toy!
My husband is the best! He just brought home one of the new Roomba vacs as a surprise. We'd both read about them and thought they were neat. Last night he stopped at the mall on his way home and bought one. It's so fun to watch it work! It spins around, lingers on dirty spots, avoids the stairs, and seems to remember where it's been. Now at least we won't have to worry about keeping the floors clean, which will be really helpful during the next few months as it becomes harder and harder to see my own feet let alone the carpet, LOL. And I know we won't want to bother running a regular vacuum with a new baby in the house, even though it'll be dirtier than ever. It's also really quiet, so I think we'll be able to use it when little what's-his-name is sleeping. :D Maya Due October 30 with a boy I'm taking nutrition seriously and eating plenty of snakes, snails and puppy-dog tails just in case! neat! I wish DH would stop off at the mall and buy me a maid.. hehe though if I would get on it this placew should take less then an hour a day to make company ready. Right now it would take me close to 3 hours including dishes.. *sigh* Tori  SignatureBonnie 3/20/02 Xavier due 10/17/04 > My husband is the best!

We only have two rooms with carpeting, so it would be easy to fence the little fella off, and with cats in the house, we get fur buildup if I miss even a day or two of vacuuming. > Maya > Due October 30 with a boy > I'm taking nutrition seriously and eating plenty of snakes, snails and > puppy-dog tails just in case! > > My husband is the best!

Probably as a foul fiend from heck if I know the cat... Jenrose > My husband is the best! He just brought home one of the new Roomba vacs > as a surprise.

However, you may find that the baby loves the regular vacuum and you may need it to make the baby fall asleep. The regular vacuum was the best thing for DS. It was like a drug. Put him to sleep in 2 seconds flat. Don't think it's too loud. Not at all. >I like my Roomba. I guess our floors are *too* dusty because it seemed like I was CONSTANTLY cleaning out the *tiny* little waste compartment. It was like I had to babysit it too much -- and it got stuck under the sofa everytime. We ended up taking ours back. I was sad because I was soo excited to get it...:-( Carla Mom to Victor Paul born 5.16.04 www.victorpictures.com <--See him here! >>I like my Roomba. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Mom to Victor Paul born 5.16.04 > www.victorpictures.com <--See him here! I would like to try something like this, but I wonder how it would survive in a house with two dogs and a cat? Our house is full of carpeting. We would need at least one per floor. Are these things chew-proof? ;-) Yes, I can see how this thing would be perfect for pet owners! We're thinking about getting a puppy while future DS is a toddler. I don't know about chewproof (is anything?), but DH asked and the salesman said it senses obstacles and automatically stops if it gets flipped over or anything gets caught in it, so it's safe for little feet and tails. I read up on it on the website, and it said to keep it from getting stuck under sofas by placing books or other objects there. I suppose you could also use the electronic wall thing, too. Too bad you had to send it back. Apparently the dirt compartments are bigger in these new models. If ours fills up too quickly, I guess I'll just try to run it more often.

I was looking at this and thinking "How cool... a remote control floor cleaner." Then I thought, "Hey, wait...that's what my 11-year-old is for!" (She's be been fantastically helpful this summer... she brings me something to eat before I wake up every morning so I don't throw up as much. She even cleaned the whole kitchen so we could make chocolate chip cookies without me gagging at the contents of the kitchen sink... she even does my laundry sometimes. Lest you think I work her to the bone, we've been having a blast together this summer, staying up late making cookies together, watching videos until 1 am, etc... last time she asked me for $1 I gave her $10 because she just doesn't ask for much. She's even been working for her grandpa helping him with the remodel. I am *so* going to miss this in a couple years when she hits that 13-year-old "I can't believe you're asking me to DO anything" stage... But I've got to say, I mostly love this age. We both know the aliens will come suck her brain out soon, but she's fighting the good fight with that and *so* nice to be with right now.) Jenrose |
