This joke has been tossed around Facebook in the past couple days and it's sooooo funny that I thought I'd share it here, too! (This isn't my joke, and I don't know where it came from, will add the credit when I find out)

Just Doing Her Job

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.
The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall.
In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"
She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do
all day?"
"Yes," was his incredulous reply.
She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

Try it Tuesday

Ok, see that lovely banner up there? -----^

I can't get it centered. I've tried...and tried...and tried. Searched for answers on the net, no dice.

Any web savvy people out there who can help me fix it? That'd be awesome. You're a rock star.

Unstoppable Pencil Container

So the life in a new house (our first home, YAY!) has been interesting...2 countries of stuff to fit into one house takes creativity when it comes to storage solutions. Sure, I could run to the local DIY store and pick up the latest and greatest in organizational solutions, but what fun would that be?
Just after New Year's, Mom and I ran across this stuff.Maybe you've seen them? Downey Unstopables They're in the detergent aisle and they're fun. But I digress.
We gave them a try and I had this empty bottle staring at me just begging me to do something with it. Now, call me anal, but even completely clean I wasn't going to stick snacks for the shorties in there. Did that stop me? Nope.
So I pulled off the label and stuck all 3 pieces in the dishwasher (top rack). What came out was this...
And you know what it looked like to me?The world's greatest colored pencil corral. Fits like a dream in a diaper bag for my daughter and it's clear so she can see all the pencils that are in there.
The cap has an opening big enough to easily get the pencils in and out, too.
I love this. I need more. And those ridges look like the perfect canvas for some chalkboard paint or Mod Podge. With all the craft supplies in this house, I foresee lots of cute Unstopable containers in my future.
BTW, I'm not naive enough to think my 4 yr old will keep her pencils in here all nice and tidy, but a mom can dream, right?
