While Moms Away

Shelby, Charlotte, and the dogs are in Vermont for the week staying with Nanny. Dad now has the whole house to himself. While he does have a list of chores to do...we all know he isn't going to finish them. So instead of stressing about all the things he isn't going to get done, he has decided to think about all the fun things he is going to do.

This was an easy chore. He first thought about the little things he does that drive Shelby crazy. Those include:

Throwing laundry on the floor.
Eating in bed.
Leaving the toilet seat up.
Drinking out of the milk and juice containers.
Watching History and Discovery Channel instead of So You Think You Can Dance.
Cranking up the AC so its freezing cold.
Passing gas in bed.

The he decided to do as many of those things as possible...Safely....While Shelby is away.

At this very moment dad is in bed typing away. Next to him on the bed sits one orange Hostess Cupcake (he ate the other one in bed), a half finished gallon of milk, the remnants of a skinny cow icecream (sorry Shelby they will be gone by the time you get home), clothes strewn across the floor, the television blaring Modern Marvels on the History Channel, AC blasting, and he is positive he left the toilet seat up in the bathroom.
Ohhh and excuse me.
