Just in case....
Ignoring the noise... www.momtofive.com


If something ever happens to me and I am not able to be home for an extended period of time, will someone please inform my family of the following items?
1.  There is not a dish fairy that magically moves the dishes from the sink to the dishwasher.
2.  Only one child needs to be in the bathroom at a time.  Ever.
3.  The washing machine does not turn socks, pants or shirts right-side-out.
4.  When the toilet paper runs out on the roll, you really can replace it with the spare rolls under the sink.
5.  It really is necessary  to clean your rooms occasionally.
6.  And change your sheets.
7.  And dig out whatever is growing underneath your bed.
8.  Kids, when you can't find your shoes, it is not acceptable to just decide you're going without them.
9.  The same is true for your underwear.
10.  Kids, brush your teeth, comb your hair and wash your face.  Often.
11.  If they're not put away, DVD's get scratched, shoes get lost, bikes get stolen and toys lose their parts.
12.  Brothers can be the best of friends, or the worst of enemies - the choice is yours.
13.  These things are non-negotiable:  attending church, doing your schoolwork and helping with chores.
14.  All other things are negotiable when and if your dad feels like negotiating.
15.  It is your choice - fold and iron the laundry OR look sloppy and wrinkled.  There's a reason I fold and iron twice a week.  And that reason is not because I love to fold and iron.
and finally....
16.  Your wife and mom loves you.  In spite of the fact you leave dirty socks, golf clubs and empty Pringles cans all over the house.

Amen. The dishwasher would be at the top of my list, too!
Where's my letter? Just kidding. I'm still typed out from the last one :o) but I AM looking forward to it!

That was great. I laughed so hard. Sad part is, without the list none of it would get done! Unbelievable. I think we must look for my daughters shoes everytime we are getting ready to go somewhere. Why is it they can not just put them back in the closet, neatly that is, where they belong? Wow, I need to iron twice a week. I do it as needed. Guess thats why i get all frustrated before church.LOL
Be blessed.
Stacy ( oh thanks for the prayers, feeling better now)

What a great post! So funny and a great reminder for the family! I feel I get to wear I nag on these things because they never get done! I wonder why they can't hear me! Ugh! But such a sweet reminder! We love them UNCONDITIONALLY! (Just as God loves all of us!)
