As the end of the school year draws near I have begun the summer preparations for the inevitable "I'm bored" that strikes within the first 22 minutes of summer vacation. Fortunately, I hold the title of "World's Worst Mother", which means that figuring out which things to include on the list of possible other things that you could be doing was fairly simple for me to come up with. They all benefit me.
* Clean the windows.
* Clean the rain gutters along the back of the house.
* Clean out the garbage cans
* Clean out the big garbage bin.
* Clean the garage.
* Shimmy on top of the shrunk and clean off the stupid ledge the builders of this house decided needed to be 12 feet off the ground, just for show.
* Go through all your drawers and closet and take out anything that doesn't fit, you refuse to wear, or will warrant a call from CPS.
* Rewire the back gate so that the dogs will no longer be able to figure out how to leave the relative safety of our backyard for the creek and the sticker bushes that get stuck in Jack's fur and take literally hours to pull out.
* Clean your damn bathroom.
* Figure out what I did to my MP3 player and why it won't upload the music that I want on it.
* Instead of trying to figure out the most expedite way to get the food from the kitchen into your stomach, how about you actually think of the rest of us and cook us a meal AND CLEAN UP YOUR MESS AFTERWARD.
* Repair the garage door that your big melon head made a hole in when you were goofing off with the dog.
* Read your email occasionally and actually send one back so that I don't get emails asking why you aren't responding.
* Read a book. A REAL book, not a comic book.
* Finish loading all the bags of dirt into my flower beds so in my spare time I can actually plant my flowers where I want them.
I'm quite sure there is more but I think this should get him through the middle of July at least.

good luck with that. if you figure out how to get just one thing on that list checked off, let me know because my kid has a list just like that that's several years old and still has yet to check off a single thing.
ReplyDeletelol...I am pretty sure he won't do anything on this list either, however this list has magical abilities. Once I hand him the list I am almost positive that it will make him disappear.
ReplyDeleteHey! Sorry about my blogging negligence! I like your idea of starting a new one . . . I may just do that, too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! Let me know when you get it going :)
ReplyDeleteSo, how's this working for you? Anything accomplished?
