Thoughts from the bottom of the barrel

Things I do NOT get in this house: Heat, garage/driveway parking, my things taken care of when other people use them.
Things other people in this house get: Heat, garage/driveway parking, 3 bedrooms upstairs for 2 people, use of my washer/dryer, use of my kitchen items.
Things the upstairs people rarely do in this house: Clean up after themselves, bring trash out, bring trash in, keep the kitchen clean. Although one of them has brought home a stranger or two in the past 5 months. That counts for something, right?

So when I want a puppy that I can take care of and be responsible for, they tell me no. Because the 4 cats they have upstairs will freak out and pee all over their things, and be upset. Wow, for once they're thinking of somebody.. well, something else other than themselves for once. Big step up. More like a half step though really, its their own things that the concern is for.

So once again, i'm kicked to the bottom of the barrel, where I usually am in this house. Because, like we've known all along... the pretty girls in this world get everything handed to them, and their opinions count. Nobody else has a say in the matter, their word is final. I'll just go back to cleaning up after them, cleaning the kitchen, and i'm thinking of leaving mints on their pillows as a final touch. Sounds like a fairy tale.

Cleaning up after a dog would be so much easier.
