The Brain lives upstairs. She's a college student at Florida Gulfcoast University. She has alot of crap in her room and it's spreading....to the room her brothers old room and trinkling down the stairs. Today, we have a buyer coming to look at our house. I have to ride her like Secretariat to corral her debris or at least jam it under the bed so the place looks presentable.
Before she walked out the door this morning I asked no more than a few times to make sure upstairs was fit for showing. There is a great deal of drama involved. I realize she may cure cancer in the future but right now she's like a pebble in my shoe with the whining about "getting to school on time", "so much to do, so little time" drama - as if anyone else in this house, dog included, doesn't have better things to do than clean.
I just received a message on my phone and I thought she was crying but it was laughing. It would appear in her haste to clean her room, appease me and get out the door at dark o'clock she put on the wrong pair of sandals. There is an exact set up upstairs, just like the one's she is wearing.
I can't wait until she has a husband and a baby to really tax her system.
Yes, we're still wearing flip-flops down here. It's a 365 thing. Shouldn't YOU be buying Bonita Springs, Florida real estate?

I did that once. Got dressed in the dark because hubby was working nights -- then had to ask him to bring me a shoe later at work. As soon as he walked in carrying one shoe, I was so busted. No one noticed until then. Should have left it.
It's like 25 degrees here this morning. Flip flops look painful to me.
I love it! Now if it were my daughter, she probably would have meant to do this just to be different!
Hmmm... You're blogging about it instead of frantically running to school to rescue her from a day of humiliation... shame on you....
Brain -->crap -->Secretariat --> cancer --> drama --> flip flops--> Bonita Springs! 6 degrees of separation to Florida!
LOL, nice work, Dena!
I hope you save this and give it to her kids someday! At the appropriate moment of course.
Ah, I have one of those "know it alls" who is away at college. When she's home for the holidays my house looks like a train went through it. "But I'm neat at SCHOOL" is what she tells me...SO? I could see her doing the same thing, grabbing whatever was around and running out the door....gotta love them :)
Rub it in...we're wearing boots up here and they're saying we're getting snow tomorrow!!!
I offering to trade you your drama queen for mine!! When does it end???
Wow... are you sure you aren't at my house? Everday is a struggle to get them to keep things tidy! I just keep trying to look at what they do well.... not what they don't.
As for the sandles... I would wear them year round.... but the frostbite gets me nervous!!
(Thanks for commenting on my "Road Rage - It's Up To You" post.
Love it! 'Couldn't help laughing because I lived it! That's tough to have your home on the market with a teenager in the house... 'helps you to appreciate what our sellers go through.
Great post, reminds of the time that I got dressed one rainy dark morning, and when I walked in my office, everyone was giggling. I sat down and asked the girl next to me what was so funny. She burst out laughing and said, "go look in a mirror". I went in to the ladies room and stood their staring at the fluorescent lit image of me with a tweed blazer and a checkered skirt. I had grabbed the jacket from one suit and the skirt from another.
We grow up, but we don't really change, your daughter will overlook mismatched forever. Some things are just more important.
Funny post Chris, I laughed out loud.
Chris - I remember once leaving the house with two different shoe, my life was really hectic. I was able to correct the situation because I was alway leaving a pair in the car.
This is something I'm actually paranoid of doing. I try on multiple shoes in the morning, while decided which ones look best with my outfit. I'm always afraid I'm going to walk out of the house in a mismatched set =/
