Heeee! Heeee! Like that one too. Aren't kids 'observant' !!! Margaret

Margaret, What do they say........'out of the mouths of babes.....' She'd have a field day in my house with the dust, and I really never was like this before Family History became an obsession. Kath. x

PMSL ......... Reminds me of my daughter ..... years and years ago ...... I spy 'C' Curtains, Carpet, Car, Crayons.... no .... big SMILE on her face ...:::-)))) Cobweb ! Kids !!!!!!! Elaine ;-)

That text is brilliant Elaine. Comforting to know there's more than me in that situation. Still working for the moment, so I'm not really as bad as that - yet! Kath, your comments brought something to mind. One rainy afternoon, when our kids were small, we started playing 'I Spy' and one of our daughters chose the letter D. We spent AGES guessing and I was the last one to give in. She grinned all over her cheeky little face and chimed: 'Dust'!!! Margaret

Decorate every 6 months Elaine!!!!!! It must be 6 YEARS since we did any decorating (certainly not in the last three years that I've been a member on here). I was just saying to my sister the other day, that I have learned to live with dust and clutter when I never thought I would. Now I just pretend it's not there. I don't even rush around when visitors are coming (luckily we don't get visitors too often), lol. Kath. x

So THAT's why I'm here 24/7 .........lol ! Kath wondered why no housework ever gets done ( unless I know in advance of visitors !!!) I don't do housework. Think its more therapuetic (sp) to just decorate each room every 6 months or so !! pmsl ... Elaine ;-)

I've got the perfect answer to avoid a day like that Elaine.........miss out everything you were going to do first, and go straight to checking the emails.......then spend the rest of the day on GR. Nothing gets done.....but then nothing gets done your way either, does it, LOL. Kath. x

That is absolutely brilliant :-) Made me and OH laugh. We are certainly candidates for that type of day! Thanks for brightening our day. PP xx

Elaine, Did'nt realise you had met my hubby....lol

omg thats me ............................thank god i was thinking i was,nt normal.lolxxxxxxjoy

I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mailbox earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to move the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I realize the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. So, at the end of the day: the driveway is flooded the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, there is still only one check in my check book, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys. Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I decide to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mails...... Don't laugh, if this isn't you yet, your day is coming! Elaine ;-)

This is how it manifests: .....
