Agree! I can't tell you how many times I've told my son to wipe the crumbs off the counter into the sink after he makes his sandwich. It doesn't sink in. Drives me nuts!

Yesterday DH came home from lunch, was eating at the bar, and there was something all over the floor underneath him. I had JUST done the floors. I said, "what happened here and who did this!?". They both claim innocence and then have the nerve to say I complain too much about the new floors being dirty.....

Sorry. I TOTALLY understand AAAARRRGGGHHHH! Hang in there!

YAY! American women soccer team!

My best friend just called from SoCal. Her mother (who I am very close to) is having an emergency angiogram. My friend has a serious medical condition and she's the only one there with her mom. Please keep a good thought for both of them. Thanks! (This is one of those times I hate being 400 miles away. These women are like family to me.)

Thank you. I am really feeling helpless and horrible right now. They have both done so much for me and my family when we were in need of support. This friend sat with me when my dad had his heart surgery and 1000 other times. I'd so like to be able to return the favor. But I have to sit and wait. I'm not good with just sitting and waiting.
