Just keep your cool now, you're starting to droooool

I'm cranky, let me preface this post with that. I feel like crap, I've got a fever and I'm all stuffy. While I'm physically sick I'm also on my "sick of doing everything around the house" kick which makes for an incredibly fun to be around Liz. As Kae and I say "If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy".

I'd like to share with you just a few of the things I wish my family understood to make our home life better (in a Monica from Friends kind of way).

1. Dirty wet sponges breed bacteria and smell after 2 days. No, I don't think leaving the leftover soap in there will "help next time".

2. If you burn Tupperware because it is sitting next to the frying pan you are using you should neither just move the Tupperware to the counter and leave it there with the HUGE hole in it NOR hang the frying pan back up with melted plastic on the side because "it will come off".

3. Emptying the dishwasher will be considered an Olympic sport in 2012. I will probably take the gold in that, but I welcome any competition. Get training, boys love girls training for the Olympics.

4. Though they are decorative, and it's neat to see how many your desk will actually hold, the recycle bin is the place for any can of soda that's been open for more than a day.

5. It is not necessary to run completely out of food before food shopping is contemplated.

6. The frozen packages in the freezer can be taken out in the morning, then mixed with stuff at night for a home cooked dinner. This differs from other dinners in that you don't get a receipt when the food is ready to eat. It's as easy to do as cooking eggs (and easier than burning Tupperware).

7. When there are no more frozen packages in the freezer refer to rule #5.


That's all I have for now, I'm sure I'm missing rules having to do with the bathroom or laundry, but that's for another day.
