Here we are. Mom, A, J, T & K. This is what I wish my family could be all the time!! I have had A, J & T since September 2004 and K since February 2005. We have so much fun and laugh! I love them all so much!!! I truly wish they'd never have to leave.
No drama today, can you believe it? I'm pretty excited about chores, though! We had a family meeting on Sunday afternoon and delegated new chores. The daily chore list consists of:
1. Loading & unloading the dishwasher
2. Setting & clearing the table & vacuuming the kitchen & dining room
3. Vacuuming the living room and hallway
4. Gathering & taking out the trash
These are the daily chores so the house gets vacuumed everyday and I don't have to do it. But I'm stuck with cleaning the bathroom and that's not a pretty job when you have a teenage boy in the house! The 7 & 3 year olds don't help either! I have to do laundry, too. That is my least favorite job, but I get the best feeling when it's all done. But the feeling only lasts until bath time!
Bath time....reminds me of a few stories:
J used to be able to take showers. Now he has to take baths. You don't know how many times I've caught him taking a shower standing outside the tub. He has the shower going full blast and is bending over the tub washing his hair, water everywhere. He couldn't understand what was wrong with that. Then there are the times that he's went thru a whole brand new bottle of shampoo in one bath. When I told him that he would have to pay me for the shampoo, he got very upset because he said that was "expensive, like $100". I had to hide my laughter with that one. He's done both of these things several times. I just want to say, "HELLO!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!!!!"
Those are just a few of the stories of J!
