Teenagers smell bad. It doesn’t matter if it’s a male or female of this hormonal species. Their feet, armpits, breath and hair are obvious culprits but it seems to radiate from every pore. The smell is there always, even just after bathing. When they are at school, I go into their rooms to collect the […]
Complain that you have no clean clothes on Friday. Complain that you have too many clean clothes to put away on Sunday.
Doug and Noah are leaving to go camping tomorrow. The temperature in the mountains will be in the teens, so I have zero desire to go with them. That said, I will miss them terribly. My plans for the weekend are the same as every weekend, laundry. I’ll blog and search for blogs to read, […]
