Of course it doesn't. Thanksgiving can have Stove Top Stuffing and instant mashed potatoes, the guests for this weekends party can take home dog hair on their clothes as souvenirs, and toddlers can play where the dog drags his butt without mopping. We CAN wait until the last minute for packing before the move and just throw boxes any which way so the tilex leaks all over the hand made quilt.... can! Heck, why even make separate recipes, we can just throw all the food in a trough and serve it with ladles.

But why if *%%&()_)_) would you do that when you are retired and have plenty of time? And why am I the bad guy?

And then, when it is all over he gushes at how nice the house looked, how awesome the food was, and what a good time everyone had.

Okay, I feel better now.


So did the weather hold up?

Besides being hotter than Hades, the weather was very nice.

And in DH's defense, he told me I am not to clean, put stuff away or do any work today, he would do it all.

I drove into a pull through space at the store today only to come out and find some dummy parked in front of me. I could have backed up to leave, but fortunately by the time the groceries were in the car and the cart where it couldn't cause any mischief the dummy had left. FWP averted.

ME EITHER. And you know, you would think that we'd get it right like 50 percent of the time.

I hope I'm wrong about that.

Fitting sheets wrong the first time is a proud first world tradition! Like always trying to open a plastic bag on the sealed end first instead of the open end.

My son. I've grown rather tired of hearing, "Relax, mom." On the other hand, he talks to me. He really doesn't have to.

(This is about putting fitted sheets on the wrong way ... every time)

I know, me too! I'm at the point where once I figure which way is the top - I'm just going to put that on the side!

That is true.

It doesn't bother her. I am learning to let it go.


For my sake.

Regarding the fitted sheet problem, I always tried to memorize which corner the tag was on. Didn't always work. The ones we have now, though, have two visible seams that run lengthwise only. It's amazing how happy it makes me. lol

You can put a dot in non washable ink on the corner for the right hand side of the head of the bed. I’ve done that.

Or, you can buy those sheets with woven satin/flat stripes, and align the stripes with the length of the bed. But I am embarrassed to admit it took a couple of years to figure this out.
