LOL.... I forgot all about the closed door things! Like the basement door so the cats can't get down there. This morning I came downstairs and both the back door to the mudrom was open as well as the front door to the porch was open. Luckily, the back door from the mudroom was NOT opened, but last summer it "accidentally" was open a few times. Meanwhile, all the cats were running out the door~ Its not hard to shut a door... at least in my experience.

Also:
~We have a no shoe in the house rule. All shoes must be taken off before they reached carpeted areas. Why then do I always see sneakers on teenaged feet? Then THEY at ME when I point out their feet. I didn't make the rule up, their father did!

~ The kids wait til the LAST minute for things. Like Sunday is Tony's prom. He didn't think about a tux until last night -- "Oh dad, when will we get my tux?" Heather has a pool party at school TOMORROW, and decided to wait til last night to tell us her bathgsuit from last year doesn't fit..... so off we went to buy a bikini and rent a tux. NOT my idea of what I wanted to do last night.

~ Asking the same question repeatedly and not getting an answer. Tony's prom is Sunday (I covered that didn't I?) and I have asked him a hundred times what type of flowers does she want. I even asked HER... and they just shrug. But last year when I made the executive decision and went with what I thought would be nice, they complained that nobody else carried a boquet. They all wore corsages. Well? This year I wanted to know WHAT type of corsage.. and they are *thinking* a boquet would be more fun since they are different anyway!

Oh Calgon, take me away!
