OK the last post was about some of my favorite things. So, this one is about some of my un-favorites. Not that I am in any way complaining about my life, I know I am incredibly blessed. These are kinda just for fun. Please feel free to comment if you have anything to add....
1) Middle school girls who REPEATEDLY "decorate" our yard with enough toilet paper to last our family for a year!! (Not to mention forks, yarn, cut-up straws, silly string, caution tape, styrofoam peanuts) But, last weekend, I must say, they outdid themselves. Not only was our yard a complete white-out with toilet paper, but they covered our sidewalk, from our front door to the street, in maple syrup and dumped Cap'n Crunch in it. Gross would be an understatement! Maizie didn't think so though! She was thinking, "This is the best thing ever! Someone just came and left all this delicious stuff on our sidewalk. I think I'll run through it and get it all over me! Then run back in the house to show Mom what I did!" Leaving her sticky pawprints all over. She was in heaven. I, on the other hand, not too happy. Lon & I had to admit though, it was an impressive job, the best one yet. I just wonder who is paying for this stuff, it had to have cost a fortune, and, like I said, it happens repeatedly, at least once a month (sometimes more) since about April. So....that is one middle school rite of passage that I won't be too sorry to leave behind! Sheesh...outgrow it already!
2) 30+ mph wind....in the fall, that is the one season when we aren't supposed to have that much wind! (why do I even bother with my hair?)
3) Barrett's complete allergic meltdown in reaction to the above mentioned wind
4) teachers who think huge "at-home" projects are a great idea (don't get me wrong, I love teachers, just not the projects)
5) getting hail damage.....in OCTOBER!!! It's crazy.
6) never having time to scrapbook anymore :-(
7) Lon getting a rock chip in the windshield of his new pickup
8) waking up early to take Gracen to early-morning practice
9) Dusting (that is just a never-ending job, isn't it?)
10) Flies! (I know, I know, they're part of the food chain and everything, but boy are they annoying! Come on first freeze!)
11) Printer running out of ink in the middle of Barrett's school project (honestly, you think I could get a little warning here....well OK, maybe I did, but it just kills me to pony up $70 for two measly ink cartridges)
12) Paying $70 for 2 measly ink cartridges!

You go girl! I am ditto-ing the wind, the reaction to the wind, the cartridges, the projects.
