Pillows

This picture represents the beauty and the hummm...clueless/low perspective taking abilities of the following article:


Who would have known that so many of you have had the same Pillow experience. I think it is just another thing to talk about:

  • tube of toothpaste--how to roll it up, squeeze it or in our case...can we find it (with 7 in the house--it gets placed in interesting places)

  • Toilet paper--forward or backward, or in our case on the shelf, or on the stand

  • socks--the dyer ate them, or in our case the lawnmower ate them

  • Clothing--on the floor and missed the hamper, or in our case, children wearing them in general

  • papers/bills/permission slips--stacked by the phone, or in our case, taken and made into art work (I'm cheep--I need to get Garrett some more art paper).

  • Tin foil and twist ties (blink?) Again in our case Garrett has created some creature, diorama, and then they are found every where--he'll even take them off the bread sack to create something.

  • Kitchen table: the place to stack it all but in our case the place to stack it all and then some

  • Finally, the FLOOR!! the place for walking or in our case the trash can. Kellis will still drop something on the floor and walk away....sigh!


Do tell your secrets!...

The toothpaste thing used to really BUG me. Since I am an avid coupon clipper and since I don't ever pay more than 25 cents for a tube of toothpaste (and that's if we are REALLY out and I can't wait to get it FREE), everyone in the house has their own tube of toothpaste so they can do whatever and however they want with it.

As for the clothes not making it into the dirty clothes hamper, ask Tino about that one. He has been doing his own laundry since he was 8 years old because of that. And now Mateo, being the competitive younger sibling that he is, was offended last week that he doesn't get to do his own laundry as well. So now HE is also washing his own clothes . . . I just have to help him measure/pour the detergent and bleach. He knows that if his clothes DO NOT make it into the dirty clothes hamper than his punishment will be MOM will do his laundry for him. (Completely opposite of Tino who couldn't put his clothes in their perspective place so for "punishment" had to learn how to wash his own clothes.)

you left out the great toilet seat debate. Up or down?
