Not bad.

Have a great Monday, everyone!

binky · 07-20-2008, 07:29 PM

good. Older daughter was at girl scout camp, so much less sibling conflict.

classicman · 07-20-2008, 07:36 PM

not bad - got a lot done around the house. How bout you?

Great weekend
Shitty Monday morning

All went wrong early hours
Honestly don't know what to do.

Clodfobble · 07-20-2008, 08:15 PM

To be honest, it wasn't as bad as I was fearing it would be. I'm not going to hold my breath that it'll hold out for the rest of the week, though.

I spent the weekend distributing my kids around the country. I miss them already, but I get Lil'Griff back tonight.

My weekend was spent in the unique hell of a household preparing to host a baby shower in the coming week (on Wednesday). Her: "OK, we need to trime the hedges..." Me: "Nobody's going to come to the shower and judge our hedges... we have plenty of other stuff that needs doing." Her: "Yeah, and we're going to do all of that PLUS TRIM THE HEDGES!!"

SD, take your time trimming the hedges; commune with nature; relax; it might take you longer than expected.

Griff · 07-21-2008, 09:58 AM

Shoot, I thought "trim the hedges" was a euphemism.

Clodfobble · 07-21-2008, 10:21 AM

You know what makes for an awesome Sunday morning? Coming back into the living room where you left your toddler playing to discover the front door wide open.

We knew he could pull the handle down, but that's why we left the door constantly locked. As it turns out, he can now unlock the deadbolt, by standing on the very tip of his toes like a ballerina on pointe. We already knew from experience that the child-safety products designed for handled doors don't work in the slightest. So after his escapade in the driveway, we had to make an immediate trip to Home Depot to buy a new handle set, one which had an actual knob on the inside, just so we could then use a child-safety item made for knobs, which actually work.

$1 for the little plastic knob guard... $125 for the new exterior lock set. That's coming out of his college fund, dammit.

I lol'd at that, heh heh.

What you do, see, is when you go to sell the house, mark it up $200 and add to the description that it has "upgraded toddler proof doors"

lookout123 · 07-21-2008, 12:42 PM

or duct tape really soft mittens on his hands. his hand will just slip around while trying to unlock and open doors. and as an added bonus you'll get to laugh hysterically at the child's agony.

BigV · 07-21-2008, 12:44 PM

(wwaaaaayy) back in the day, we had cats. As a joke, we mittened their paws with tissue held on with rubber bands. Hysterical! Watching them try to step out of the "mittens" as they moon-walked backward, shaking each lifted paw in turn... omg...

Yes, I am easily amused.
