If you haven't found something strange during the day, it hasn't been much of a day.
John A. Wheeler
Normal days aren’t remarkable because nothing much happens on a regular day. You just go about and do the things you always do. When something strange happens, you remember. The day sticks out in your mind because of the odd thing. It’s more interesting and you can tell others about it. What can you say of a regular day? SOSDD ... that means same old sh*t, different day.
Here is an SOSDD: the kids sniping at each other. TB and I were sitting and talking together when Billy came to the door. Heidi reminded him he hadn't vacuumed yet. He's supposed to vacuum everyday. So he was annoyed because what about the girls? They didn't vacuum on Sunday, the one day of the week he didn't have to do it. And they don't dust either.
TB had more patience than me. He asked, "Why didn't you remind us about this on Sunday?"
And Billy said it was because he didn't think of it.
Well, guess what? TB and I have so many things on a list of stressors that we didn't think of it either!
I think this picky stuff is just petty.
Still, TB went out and told the girls they'd been slacking on the dusting so he had them split rooms and get to work. The two girls had several choice words for Billy.
Yeesh.
I went to look at the election results and so far Mr. Bush is ahead, God help us.
