Things I Put Up With

For the sake of peace in the house, here are some things I pretend to ignore:
(This section to be preserved for my kids when they become parents and try to claim, "but we never did that when we were kids")

-None of the kids seem capable of putting the cap back on the toothpaste.

-Do none of the kids know how to put a dish in the dishwasher?  I don't even want them to be rinsed, just slide them in there.

-Just wade through the bedroom floor.  Ignore all crunching noises.  If that toy was precious to them they wouldn't have left it on the floor.

-Stuffing coming out of the cat scratches on the ends of the couch.

-That big popsicle stain on the living room carpet.

-My towels are the only ones hung up on the bathroom.  Where are the rest?  And why do my towels have toothpaste smears on them ... just at child mouth height.

-Since when was the bathroom sink designated to be a science center?  What is that goo in there?

-I don't want to know what it going on every time a child yells, "That is disgusting!" from another room.

-Randomly stepping in piles of cold, wet cat vomit.

-The nice sock I ran over with the lawnmower in the front yard.
