Thankfulness Day 195:: Fly on the wall

Dear Fly on the Wall,

You are a nuisance.  I don't like you much and you buzz around the house like you own it.  I pay good rent and am not sharing with you or any of your little friends.

Not only that but you know too much.  You see me lose my temper behind closed doors.  You've seen me spill on the floor and be too lazy to clean it up.  You know about my secret M&M stash.

I killed you once in mid-air and I was super proud of myself.  I looked around to see if ANYONE saw that amazing swing but alas you came back to life once in the trash can.

Sorry fly, you just don't fit in here and it's time to go.

Today I am thankful that I don't live in Illinois with mice in my house anymore.

Thankfulness Day 138:: Dear Laundry

Dear Laundry,

We've been spending time together for four days now.  Just when I think we have nothing more to say to each other another child pees his sheets and so we meet again.

I don't like you.  I'm sorry but you smell...and not in a good way.  My kids like you alot though.  They enjoy spilling drinks and wiping peanut butter on their clothes so they can see us together.  I don't share their view though.  I try to put off our meetings but you get angry at me and multiply over the days.

I wish you would just go away, fold yourself, and come back clean.

See you tomorrow,
Cheri

Today I am thankful for having a home to do laundry in and NOT having to walk to a Laundromat!
