Oh, how I love you. I look at each of you and marvel at your wonderfulness... my luck! My joy! My heart!
My aching friggin' back.
Darlings, there are a few little things that we need to discuss.
For example - this an image of our dishwasher...
It has no lock. I am not the only person with the combination to it's goodness.
If you use a plate, bowl, utensil (those would be knives, forks and spoons) or drinking receptacle of any kind, feel free to A) rinse quickly under faucet and then B) open dishwasher... I know! That bar is not just for dishtowels, it also in a handle! Place item pretty much anywhere. I'm not fussy, just stick in in and we'll hope for the best.
Now, here is where things can go a little awry... when you are looking for a plate to put a quesadilla on, or a cup to fill with iced tea, or a spoon for your yogurt, and there are none... I promise, despite many threats to do so, I have not thrown them out; they're in, yes, you guessed it, the dishwasher. Grab hold of that handle (remember, you know it's a handle now) and pull down... you should be rewarded with a face full of steamy cleanliness. While it's tempting to simply remove the object of which you are in need, be sweet and put away the whole kit and kaboodle.
Moving on to the eternal joy known as laundry.
I've pretty much given up the ghost on this one, but kids, and EvaJun I mean you, please, for the love of all that's holy, put your dirty fundies in the laundry basket. If I have to wrestle one more pair of size 2T Hello Kitty panties away from the dogs I may lose what is left of my mind.
And finally, the dogs.
I know we all love them. They are fun to pet, to play with and to take on walks around the neighborhood. Yes, I understand they are especially handy at towing a person while that person stands on the skateboard... fun for all.
But family, they need to eat and also, they don't use the toilet. Which means that twice a day those bowls need to be filled (see that handy kibble specific scoop in the side pantry?) and not long after, that front yard is going to need some tending. If you time it right, you can clean up and water all at once. Please don't change the settings on the hose, I have it low for eco-friendliness.
Also, don't bother with the gagging, nose holding, doing a poor job... I'm wise to your tricks and my heart is hardened.
A little attention to these items would go a long way.
Loving you massively,
Mom.
P.S. One last little thing... you aren't destined to live a life of cardboard roll as shelf for new roll of toilet paper... that center bar is spring loaded and therefore pops out, making it easy peasy to replace!
