Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve
Still snowing here in Fayette-nam. Mike & I got the driveway cleared for now, which was so slick my daughter couldn't get her car up it this morning. The grandson is napping, thank goodness. Earlier, I finished vacuuming, and heard a splashing noise in the bathroom. I knew my daughter had finished with his bath before I started vacuuming, so thought I should investigate. He was up to his elbows in the toilet, happily emptying a roll of toilet paper into the bowl. I swatted his bottom, which hurt his feelings mightly, stripped off his wet shirt, scrubbed his hands & arms and dried him off. Then we marched back into the living room, where I rather strongly requested that one of the other 3 family members who weren't doing anything to please watch him a little more closely so I could finish cleaning the freaking house.The daughter got the grandson down for a nap. The son cleaned up the kitchen. Mike, being a very wise husband, went out to shovel the driveway. I cleaned up the mess in the bathroom & then joined him.
At least now I can walk through the house without tripping over a dog or a toy. I should've yelled at them all much earlier.
