Today is Pet Peeve Wednesday


Why, because today is Wednesday and I have a peeve. LADIES ROOMS. I hate public restrooms. They are gross and I have many different issues with them.


1. How in the heck to women pee on seat. Even if you squat so as to not touch the seat, it is not like a man where you need to aim and shoot. EWWWWW.


2. If you do happen to pee all over the seat, wipe it off. Three seconds of courtesy would be much appreciated.


3. FLUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you can flush at home, it is really not that different in a public restroom.


As I said before public restrooms are disgusting. Those are my ladies room house keeping peeves. Here are my general ladies room peeves.


1. When the toilet paper won't come out. You know, when you pull the toilet paper and it gives you like one square at a time. You're always hopeful that this time you'll get more than one square, but no, it always tears at the last second.


2. No toilet paper in your stall or it is in the dispenser but you can't figure out how to get it down to use it.


3. When you go to dry your hands and you just want one of those prefolded papertowels but the thing is stuffed so full that you get about ten. WASTEFUL!!!


4. Those automatic paper towel machines that you have to wave your hand in front of to get the towel and you have to pull off the first one before it will give you a second one. If you spill something, you'll be standing there for 10 minutes waving at the stupid machine while the water is pouring all over the counter.


Anyway, these are just my opinions of public restrooms. Know where I was right before I wrote this????

The Day Every Mother Dreams Of


BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!! Today was the day. The boys started second grade today. Justin was so excited last night, he kept running to check the clock to see if it was time for him to go to bed so that he could go to school today. Robbie tried on his whole outfit, his sneakers, backpack and lunch box before he went to bed. The were so excited this morning, they jumped up when I called them and were ready to go half an hour early.
When we got to school, there were so many kids. Hess School has grades 2-5 so there where a lot more kids than they were used to at Shaner. Justin has three boys in his class that he knows from Shaner, he got a little teary (so did daddy that his little buddies were going back to school) but when he saw David, Conner and Carlos, he was fine. Not so much for Daddy. One of Robbie's teachers I have known since I was in kindergarten so I know he will have a great year.
As for Mommy, I'm just enjoying the quiet!!! 180 days until summer vacation - I'm doing my own quiet time countdown. I guess the first day of school means different things depending on your age.
