I have a feeling it's gonna be one of those days
Seven a.m. this morning, I'm revising, revising, revising. My teen comes in with the dog.

Teen: Mom, I got tacky glue on the dog.

Me: What?

Teen: I was in the bathroom, spraying my art project with tacky glue--

Me: You were spraying glue in the bathroom?

Teen: Yeah, and Edna walked in and I accidentally sprayed her.

Me: You were spraying glue in the bathroom?

Teen:

Me: We have a garage. We have a backyard.

Teen: I gave Edna a bath but the glue won't come out.

Me: Agh!

Debbie,

My teen took my car/house keys last night to get a book out of the car. And this morning when I'm trying to get other teen to camp, my keys are nowhere to be found.

Me: "My keys are missing. Know where they might be?"
Teen on phone: "I left them in the drawer."
Me: "They're not in the drawer. Is there anywhere else they might be?"
Teen on phone:
Me: "Um, hello? I'm late here."
Teen on phone:

Maybe we could have gotten your teen to spray glue on my teens fingers so at least I'd know where my keys are.

Thank God it's Friday!

My old college roommate used to lose her keys to our dorm room, borrow mine, and then lose those too. She did it twice! We're still good friends though.

LOL!

I was wandering through the book store the other day and screeched when I spotted the SUPERNATURAL RUBBER CHICKEN books face out. I was like, "Katie! Katie! Mommmy knows her. We have to buy this!" And, so we have both. And, I started reading them last night. SO CUTE! (Ahem...of course, I'll let my kids read them...but it *was* past their bed time.)

Are you going to the LA conference this year? I just decided yesterday that I'm going.

Ooh, face out! And you're not even in my city so I didn't do it. Thanks for letting me know, thanks for buying them, and I'm glad you like them.

I might go to the conference for a day or two. I've been to a lot of conferences this year (IRA, BEA, two SCBWI conferences, and ALA tomorrow) and I'm a little burned out-- as is my hubby and mom who have had kid duty. I hope to meet you there!

Been there, had the dog with bald spots. Is it a long-haired dog?

Short hair. A Boston terrier. Sigh.

Bummer. Our glued dog is a lab, so she has medium hair. So the bald spots only looked medium bad.

With these creative daughters it's always a toss up between wanting to encourage their creativity and wanting to murder them for them being so "creative" in the most inappropriate places - without putting down newspaper first.

A kid's art project -- priceless. For all the cleaning up after the project, there's Mastercard and Visa.

At least if Edna gets underfoot, now you can, yanno, just kinda stick her to the wall.
