I've got a real similar list of items no one else seems to be able to master. Hey, I landed in Asheville! In Maggie now. ;) <BR/><BR/>Suldog, somehow, that didn't make me feel better. (Not really. The fam's in perfectly good hands with Dad at the helm and the kids *should* know how to behave by now.) <BR/><BR/>Whatever I find when I get home...it'll be well worth the vacation, Carrie. LOL<BR/><BR/>Tut, that does happen sometimes, but it helps when the kids grow up some. They're all so busy, they won't be home much. <BR/><BR/>Hear ya, Patresa. No permanent damage will be done, I'm sure. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Melissa, and I hope you're right. <BR/><BR/>Oren, y'all are good for LOTS of stuff! :)Angie Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407006980893727627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3209554659260661100.post-64532673816048469242008-10-24T17:17:00.000-05:002008-10-24T17:17:00.000-05:00Give us some credit.

I can add to that list ... the vacuum, a dust cloth, the dishwasher ... oh ... and when the garbage needs emptying ... no one knows how to move (leg paralysis is a common ailment in these parts).<BR/><BR/>Where in NC are you?

I don't think I could've ever left mine with SIX kidlets! Come to think of it, didn't do it but a few times while my 3 were young. But now that they're self-sufficient.....Granny bar the door! <BR/><BR/>*Laughing* Hear ya, Lori!
