Getting steamed

Part of springtime is cleaning. Every year or so, we rent a steam cleaner to get rid of the accumulated crud in the carpets. Today was the day for that chore. The video below show the result of trying to accomplish this on a beautiful spring-like day with the kids in and out of the house.

I want the kids to go outside and have fun in the sun.

What I DON'T want is this:

Stress and caffeine

Really, is there any stressful situation that isn't made easier to bear by having a cup of strong, hot coffee nearby?
