Good Morning Brenda and everyone!
You are quick on the keys this morning!
Just started my pot of decaf coffee and let the doggies out. Skipped the gym this morning. May take the bike out in a little while.....
What's in your morning cup....
I always wondered how I could earn a little extra $$ around the house.
So, I thought I could start imposing fines on my family.
QOTD-What would you fine your family or on yourself? I would fine my husband for each and every sock that never makes it into the hamper. I would also fine my kids for the dishes they leave in the sink which just happens to be next to the dishwasher. I could retire on those two alone..........
Have a good Hump day

Good morning Michigan!

I had a glass of skim milk and now working on some Carbmaster yogurt and a piece of cheese.

QOTD:  Oh Deb, that's a good one.  I've been talking to my boys about this a lot lately.  I would fine them for leaving dirty dishes in the sink for sure!!  It's amazing how the sink sits right next to the dishwasher yet they can't make that extra effort to open it up and stack the dishes inside instead of in the sink.  And I would fine them for leaving things lay around the house.  I swear I spend an hour a day just picking up 'clutter' because they come in and set things down instead of taking care of it. 

Have a good day everyone!

Thanks for posting, Deb.
I just can't get going today...I think I stayed up too late last nigh****ching this creepy show called "Hoarders".  Ewwww.

QOTD-The guys in my house are just slobs.  I have tried everything to get them to pick up, but they don't.  But what I would make nine gajillion dollars in fines at is looking up stuff online for my other family members.  No one knows how to use the dang internet, so all night, just about every night, someone is calling me and asking me for phone numbers, or directions, or hours of a store, etc.  It's constant.  Oh yeah, and my brother plays trivia at the bar, so I get quite a few 1am phone calls with questions about Brady Bunch episodes and lyrics to 80's songs.  If I had a nickle for every one of those calls, I'd be rich!!

Have a great day everyone!

Oh Man!  I can SOOO relate to this Brenda.  I get so tired of my mom (and others) calling me and saying "Can you look something up on the computer for me." ---- like that information lives inside the computer monitor or something.  Like when my parents are on vacation and they call me from Ohio and say, "Can you find a hotel for us to stay in tonight?"  ..... or when she's sitting at home and doesn't want to use her own computer, calls and asks, "Can you research XYZ for me?"

Drives me nuts!

My mom is famous for calling and saying "We're on Route 'so-in-so' in Kentucky.  Can you go online and find someplace good for us to eat?"  My DH literally hangs up on her. 

It's new terminology in our house...whenever we have to ask a big favor of someone we say "Sorry to Sandy you......but....."  (Sandy, of course, is my mom)

I take pride in my internet sleuthing skills, and I'm seriously going to start charging for them!

Good morning!  I'm at the inlaws house, so Dub is with Grandma, out in her office.  She's showing him off to the lady that comes and works one day a week for her.   I'm heading out there shortly.  I spent the night last night because symphony rehearsals started last night. I play in the Hillsdale Community Symphony.  So grandma and grandpa get to babysit Tuesday nights and we spend the night.  My oldest BF from Hillsdale wants me to give her kids piano lessons and I just don't want to.  LOL!  But I might if we can barter a seasonal lot for our camper in her campground instead of $$$ for lessons.  

QOTD:  If I fined my hubby and he fined me, he'd probably come out ahead.  He'd actually start doing stuff to avoid the fines and I wouldn't I try not to complain too much about him and his habits, just so he doesn't feel the need to complain about me and mine.  But ONE thing that totally irritates me is that he leaves trash all over instead of throwing it in the trash can that is conveniently located in the kitchen.  For example, he'll eat an apple and take the little sticker off and STICK IT TO SOMETHING ELSE...whatever is closest.  Or he'll take the wrapper off something and set it on the counter right next to the trash can.  That drives me crazy...but I'm sure I'm just as bad about some things and he never says a word, so I'll keep my mouth shut!  LOL! .
