Thanks for the great comments. It's good to know people still want to read this.
I had to laugh heartily at CC's "Clean the litter box" comment. TOo funny - because that is what happens - we get aggravated about the most mundane things. I've had a few rants to my dearly beloved about putting arts & crafts supplies back where they belong so that the kids don't hound me for scissors and tape all weekend long.
