the Key to running your Household " let anarchy rule"

Ok , the 3 M’s definitely have a busy schedule with School , activities , sports and goofing off ,which  makes my schedule even busier [because it is my schedule times 3 completely unorganized schedules ]

So in the house we have to try to maintain some type of order with the constant state of kaos that teenage girls seem to thrive in. I have found that I have to stop at the food store or some other type of store on a daily basis as a result of my inability to get the 3 M’s all walking the same step. [lots of luck on that one as NP says ]

I have tried taking them shopping  with me as a family unit , ie food shopping , to the drug store , Walmart/Target , and Home depot ,but I found I spend  twice as much money if they “come along to help me” as they seem to purchase a larger than necessary supply of  “must have or I will die designer household essentials” ie…. Mrs Vick’s potato chips ….? [what is wrong with Pringles or Lays ? ] …..acai ,pok-a-berry juice cocktail ,100% natural  from hand selected concentrate berry juice with broccoli and spinach blend  made in Texas …[I am still an ocean spray cranberry juice guy, I didn’t know cranberries were healthy in the 70’s , I just liked the name “Ocean Spray “ and they have weekly coupons ] …..The Original La Rosa  “real Tex/Mex style” Salsa  and/or Con Quesso  spicy dip made in Texas [ Me I buy what ever is on sale at 1/3 the price of the designer sauces ]….and Small white packages of Cookies  that carry europeon names of cities or countries or Ethic regions [ Me it is Chips Ahoy  and Oreo’s ]

So in order to encourage stability and unity I started a  “to buy “ list [again] and placed it on the  re frig door [ again] but I changed the name to [thinking basic and easy would get the point across]:

“If we are out of it , Write to down  and I will get it in two days “

So the next morning I get up and glance at “ the list “ thinking miricales are happening and I have achieve a brief respite from constant anarchy , I grab my glasses and read the first entry

“Pop , you may be Goofy ,corny and old fashioned but your are not out of it , BTW give yourself more credit , it never takes you two days to get anything ,a day maybe but never two ,  you are pretty smart at times , love you“

I just turned around to watch the sunrise on the gulf,  smile , dunk my oreo in my milk and think life is ok on my island and at www.amigomovil.net
