— Joseph Conrad
I am the only female in my household, period. Not even any of my pets are female. I am surrounded by maleness. Boys, dogs, cats, crickey!! And I guess as the carrier of fallopian tubes and estrogen, I must know where everything is?
I hear this every day "Mom, where is my hat?', "Mom, where is my hackey sack?', 'Ninja Mom, have you seen my shoes?', "Where's my ipod?'.....good grief, it's not like we live in a palatial mansion. I mean, really, look around, with your eyes OPEN!!
I do not hide things. (Well, not everything!)! I put things in places that are logical. Was just interrupted from writing by my younger son looking for a battery!
If you ask me they are all a bunch of whiners.....the dog whines....the cat cries to be let out....the boys want to eat...ALL THE TIME!!
To pay attention to every day life is a minimal effort to ask of those that live with me.
I'm thinking I need one of those dry erase boards and have everyone check in and out. Although I know I will have to keep tabs on the dog and cat. But I'm thinking they can be trained to do such a tiny thing. So why can't the boys be trained. Oh yeah, it's because they are teenagers and they know absolutely everything.....except where they left their shoes.
I feel like I'm going in circles here.....somebody help me out, please??
