While I admit that it is possible that I may have slept through some of her commotion last night, it looks more like Shelby let me get a good solid 5 hours sleep before waking me up.  She tried to get me up again an hour after that, but I chose to ignore her at that point as I knew she just wanted to play and didn't need to go outside.

Today I need to figure out a way to "fix" my vacuum cleaner.  It seems one of the kids vacuumed up something wet and didn't tell anyone.  We didn't find this out until we tried to vacuum yesterday and the stench was AWFUL.  It's a bagless vacuum, so I think it is just a matter of changing all the filters and maybe rinsing out the catch.  Wish me luck!


Genetic Faults In Men

I've come to the conclusion that all men have a genetic defect. This defect causes them to never ask for directions when they refuse to admit they are lost. More importantly, and that which has a greater impact on us women, men are genetically programmed to never change the roll of toilet paper when it is empty.

What is it with guys anyway? A roll of toilet paper will be empty, and men will use a roll of toilet paper sitting on the back of the toilet, or on the floor. Do they throw away the empty roll, and replace it with a fuller roll? No. They let the empty roll sit there, and continue to use the full rolls just sitting around.

Men. Can't live with 'em, can't keep 'em locked in a closet against their will.

    Mine refuses to put his toothbrush in the holder. This is frustrating because the holder is within reaching distance of the sink! I have said something about it. I have even moved the holder closer to the sink (that was today) and it hasn't worked. I am going to actually put the thing IN the sink and put a posty note on the mirror to see if he will get the picture.

    I think you are right - genetic. However, I wonder if it isn't a little game they play like when the kids were babies and you spent a good portion of the dinner hour picking up a dropped fork, etc. LOL!!

    Have a great weekend!

    Men think that if they leave enough empty rolls lying around they will eventually breed and produce new rolls.

    I count it as a great victory if I find a dry seat so I ignore the fact that they NEVER change the roll. LOL
