Things I Don’t Understand…
1.) Why a banana peel would be in my daughter’s underwear drawer.
2.) Why Q-tips never make it into the trash can and always wind up on the floor.
3.) Empty soda cans in the fridge.
4.) Remote control in the pantry.
5.) Shoes in the corner of every room, but never in that mystical place called a “closet.”
6.) Oodles of empty shampoo/conditioner/soap bottles in the kids’ bathroom. (Note to self: work on the if-it’s-empty-THROW-IT-AWAY rule with lazy, unconcerned children.)
What about you? Any baffling things happening in your house during this summer vacation?

All of the above except, thank God, not number 1.

Why AC will sleep until past 9 on days like today (when I had to be up in case the phone repair guy actually decided to show up on the 8am side of the 8-11am window), yet will be up at 7 am on Saturdays.

Wow, we experience some of those (although the random banana peels are more likely to be a partly eaten cheese stick sitting on the train table or blueberries under the sofa–and are not so much baffling as still somewhat endearing) We’re still being baffled by the completely inability to sleep in past 6:30 am (7, if we’re really lucky…
Times, they will a’change…

I leave for a few days and you redecorate. I like the new look!
We have Q-tip-on-the-floor syndrome here. When the boys were still at home, I’d find an empty plate and a fork under their beds. And they had no clue about drawer organization. Each drawer had a mix of briefs, socks and shirts.

How about all the random things that pile up on you the minute you decide you are going to slow down?
I never thought I’d be ready to leave again, yet this afternoon found myself thinking, “When can I leave for Nationals?”

Jen, I gotta admit that the banana was a surprise. (An unhappy one.)
Kimberly, my kids were always that way when they were little as well. (Though I have to say my son went to bed at 8 tonight so that he could get up at 5 in the morning to start watching the Monk Marathon.)
Fedora, I zoomed past endearing after the 2nd bag of garbage I hauled out of her room.
Thanks, Marilyn! I love the new look, too.
And the drawer disorganization sounds horribly familiar. 
Danniele, that’s typically the way that happens. I wish that I had time to look forward to Nationals. Right now I’m just plugging away on this book.

Ohhh try finding pizza crust or cheese slices behind the dresser.
I mean 
? Can they not find the garbage can?
