I bought a new vacuum and I love it so much. It has been the highlight of the weekend. Tomorrow an old friend who is in town from out of state is coming for a play date. That’s about all we have going on this weekend. Hope everyone is having a good Saturday!
Tell my about your vacuum... I have an apartment sized 10 year old Dyson and am contemplating replacing it.
Shark Duo liftaway. It’s amazinh. I am in love. I’m replacing a decade-old dyson. The Shark is so lite and it works so we on my hard floors (I don’t have carpet) and it sucks the embedded dog hair right of my low-pile rugs.

How does it handle cheerios? Somehow the Dyson can't figure out how to get suck up a cheerio off the hardwoods without me stepping on it and crushing it up first. Probably one of my biggest complaints.
I have a Shark liftaway. It sucks cheerios off tile so I assume it would from hardwood too. It’s a really powerful vacuum! In fact, more than once we’ve had to pull a small toy out of the tank because it ate something we didn’t realize was laying on the floor, like a Lego or doll shoe or something. And it does so un-dramatically. Like no loud clunking noise or anything. It just does its business.

Have not yet sucked up cheerios but it sucks up the stray bead from the endless bead bracelet kit no problem.

This actually reminds me that there's about a form you sign, plus a 1 hour training at our church to volunteer and plus you have to get 2 friends (not family) to fill out and sign a form that basically says you don't abuse children.
That form blew my mind b/c on the one hand I know people who will sign that and not think twice, but then on the other hand if someone gave me that to sign and I didn't know them very very well I'd feel really uncomfortable.
Cause I mean, how do you REALLY know of someone is capable of that?
My school district requires 3 clearances to determine if you have abused children or have a criminal record. You have to apply online and print the certificates and give copies to the school office. If you haven't lived in state for the past 10 years, you have to do a more comprehensive check, which requires you to get fingerprinted. All of this is free, unless you have to get fingerprinted. The clearances are good for 5 years. The community sports leagues require them also. The school district also has you review a power point presentation about school privacy and complete a quiz online. Our school is very strict on who is in the building. You must always sign in and out, even for the holiday shows. If you are volunteering in a classroom, you have to provide your driver's license. They print a name tag with your picture, name, and where you are allowed to be.
We have to do a background check every 3 years. Then check in when we arrive at school and state what we are doing and then check out when we leave school. It took me maybe 10 minutes to do the online info and send it off so way easier than all of you have to do.
I'm officially at the stage in life where vacuum talk excites me.
My husband thinks it is nuts, but I really, really want a Roomba, or some variation of, for Christmas. He can't understand why anyone would want a vacuum as a present. I think a vacuum that works while I am not at home is a little slice of heaven.

I love my Roomba, and I got it for my birthday I think. The better part is that DH has ownership in it because he bought it, so he empties it every day that he isn't traveling.
