I have this habit of sometimes stuffing things away. People around here don't really like it. But I don't really care.
Last night they all ganged up on me. Me, the one who cooks them all dinner every night, who makes sure their back packs are ready by the door each morning with their homework and lunches ready, the one who puts their folded clean clothes nicely back in their drawers, the one who hangs their current team kit on wood hangers in their closet, the one who cleans out the damn litter box now that no one will do it because it smells like ass.
Bunch of complainers.
I don't like a lot of stuff. I'm a minimalist. I don't like acquiring a lot of stuff. Too much stuff makes me crazy. Maybe it's a weird tick to have when in just about every other way in my life, I'm a perpetual teenager.
So sometimes, I stuff things away. But it's not like it's gone - it's in the general area of where it should be. Like manuals are filed in the filing cabinet near the manual folder. Receipts are in piles near the desk. All cords for all the power taps, garmins, ipods, sync, cameras and whatever other electronic gadget Morgan happens to be into that month are in two drawers in the office.
Bike clothes are in the bike clothes closet.
And then the legos, which hurt like hell when you step on them in bare feet, those are in his top drawer or his lego buckets.
But apparently yesterday, someone rode his bike at lunch at work and ended up wearing a size small team jersey instead of his usual XL team jersey. I'm surprised he actually got it on his boday.
And then someone else found his newly built star wars lego battle thingamajig in his top drawer in the wrong bucket.
And then someone else complained that she still couldn't find her tooth that I'd miss placed that fell out of her mouth a few weeks ago.
And then they all started in on me.
So then I told them all to shut up and I busted a few karate chop moves on them and grabbed my box of thin mints and my glass of wine and went into the other room and watched jackass. But only after I folded the laundry and made THEM all put it away themselves.
Bunch of big fat whiny babies, that's what they are.
