Wonder Woman and the Loo...



Goodness! Got home yesterday and I became a virtual, Powerhouse! When I drove up to the house, I drove slowly...observing the landscape. Yuck!! The yard needed attention. Got inside, opened all the windows to let that cool breeze blow through all the rooms. We have an attic fan but the wind was blowing hard enough that I didn't need to turn it on. Then I had a look around...Yuck!!! I'd need to get busy in here to. So, first things first, outside I went, lawn mower key in hand, and started. The Dixon powered right up and off I went...got it all mowed in less than 45 minutes, front and back...love that Dixon! Then it was time for the inside...geez...nooks and cranny type of cleaning. Got all that done as well and was actually rewarded for my work as well! The kids didn't find all the Easter candy that was hidden!!...WHAT?!! Yes, I ate ONE of the three I found!!LOL...gave the other two to Sami. William doesn't...(gulp)..like chocolate...Can you believe that??
In my efforts to get the bathrooms cleaned...when I opened the door to the bathroom the kids use, my eyes immediately fell to the floor. Laying BESIDE the toilet And the TRASHCAN was what you see in the picture. I dearly love my little family...I Do!! BUT, are their little fingers broken? They have cast on both of their hands and I just missed seeing them?? You know, after a while, you want to make a statement. I did. I picked the offending items up, wrote my message, placed them in a strategic position on the carpet, backed out and closed the door. Would you believe? After everyone came home, Sami comes to ask me if I left said items on the floor... I reply in the affirmative...then she says..."How funny Gamma"!...and walks back to her room.....
I say nothing. About ten minutes later, Crystal comes in asking for my camera. When she's finished with it, she hands it to me and says, "Now you have something else to post about"!...laughing. I download the picture and the above is what I saw. Geez....Oh well, I didn't ask who eventually picked the items up, I "heard" who picked them up...the offender was Sami.
I believe I heard her say something like, "But Gamma did it"....but I can't prove it...LOL...never a dull moment.
Here's hoping your day is a peaceful and happy one.

Donna, you have my sympathy. I've been known to measure the distance between the sink and the dishwasher, and leave a note where they can't miss it telling them how close together the two objects are. The rest of the time the notes are to myself, usually stuck to the front door, so that I don't go out and forget something vital.

Too funny Donna. What energy you had. Send some my way would you? The way it's been raining around here we might never be able to cut the grass, it looks more like a swamp.

Dawn said...

"Helped I was dropped and I can't get up"!!! LOL What a hoot.

Hope you had fun in the yard. It was a little warmer here today, not much, though!
