Children

This is an open letter to my children.

The room at the front of the house that has the piano and the couch and the fireplace? It is called a living room. It is not called a locker, a closet or a bedroom. Those are located downstairs, to the right and down the hall. Please come pick up your shoes, socks, backpacks, binders and drum sticks and put them in their proper place, or I will have to put them outside, in the snow and you will be forced to use the snow shovel to find them.

Thank you. I love you.

Mom



Indeed.

Did I ever tell you about the time I went on strike for a week? Just the mention of it strikes fear in ALL their hearts to this day...and Morgan was just a baby at the time!!!

Karlene, well, considering the child that is really in charge of taking 15 minutes a day and cleaning the living room is reading my bog during class and she finds it amusing....
However, when I did read the post to the boys, who belong to the stuff in question, the stuff got moved pretty quick.
