At the time of writing, the teens are in bed. I'm savouring it now, because I KNOW it won't survive their awakening by more than, oh, 40 minutes, tops.<BR/><BR/>GREAT post.irreverentmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305852081814099762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628214629452937965.post-65392133856545930782008-06-11T00:45:00.000-05:002008-06-11T00:45:00.000-05:00Erma would be so proud!-dsb-Erma would be so proud!<BR/><BR/>-<A HREF="devilishsouthernbelle@gmail.com" REL="nofollow">dsb</A>-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628214629452937965.post-32383129851326726962008-06-09T21:44:00.000-05:002008-06-09T21:44:00.000-05:00Oh Betsy- you really made me laugh!

You're kidding! I thought it was where we were supposed to keep the newspaper/laptop/empty bag of Sunchips/glass from Saturday/wristwatch/to-do list/calculator/textbook from school completed two weeks ago/catalogs -- not to mention providing a roof over a couple of pairs of shoes. Excuse me -- I must go to bed now so that I am well rested for what promises to be a very strenuous Tuesday devoted to moving stuff into the dining room.<BR/><BR/>Love this blog/clog.

Plus, the table is much bigger. Like yours, anything that lands in the dining room is as likely to be mine as anyone else's.<BR/><BR/>Daisy! So good to see you here!

Sure, go ahead, clean it. But mark my words: by dinnertime, it will have gotten covered with miscellaneous trash all over again....<BR/><BR/>LOVE the bowl of cherry pits. How perfect! Though in my house, they'd not even be in a bowl--I'd just find them (and the stems) on the table right where my son left them. Oh, or jammed in the disposal where I'll then have to wedge my hand into the dark slime to attempt to extract...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the laugh!Jenny Gardinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958016422431736544noreply@blogger.com
