ONE... but not the OTHER...

ONE is a "LOVER"... but not the OTHER... I can appreciate that...

ONE follows the "rules" of the house... but not the OTHER... that bugs me... RULES are RULES!

ONE is a RASCAL... but not the OTHER... BOYS will be BOYS so they say...

ONE is a HUGGER... but not the OTHER... It's a PERSONAL SPACE thing I'm thinking...

ONE likes to sit in the window and watch the world go by... but not the OTHER... Do YOU crave ANONIMITY too?

ONE likes to play "fetch"... but not the OTHER... Maybe you could learn the JUMP/HOW HIGH game?

ONE likes to be a neckwarmer... but not the OTHER... Isn't it ALL about WARM TOES?

ONE is the LEADER.. but not the OTHER... we can't ALL be LEADERS... right?

ONE is the FOLLOWER... but not the OTHER... If everyone else jumped off the BRIDGE... would YOU... would you REALLY?"

ONE is the TEACHER... but not the OTHER... Wax on... Wax off...

ONE is the STUDENT... but NOT the OTHER... our own "in-house GRASSHOPPER"...

ONE is cautious and careful... but not the OTHER... REMEMBER the story of the tortiose and the hare?

ONE craves a HIDING PLACE that cannot be found by the OTHER...

ONE wishes the OTHER would stop hiding...

Have Not... Have...

I HAVE NOT cleaned out and organized the closets...

I HAVE NOT picked out the paint color for the upstairs bathroom...

I HAVE NOT mopped the kitchen floor... seriously... it's like polishing a TURD...

I HAVE NOT decorated for Valentine's Day... I've bought some cheesy items to decorate WITH... but they are sitting in a bag in the pantry...

I HAVE NOT dusted... for a LONG TIME...

I HAVE NOT kept up with correspondence... I'm kinda feeling "important" with that double digit number in my "INBOX"...

I HAVE NOT picked out the paint color for the kitchen...

I HAVE NOT been exercising...

I HAVE NOT organized photographs... BUT I KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS!!!

I HAVE NOT thinned out the videos/DVDs...

I HAVE NOT found a pair of BOOTS that I even half LIKE... let alone LOVE... although I DO LOVE my UGGS... they are "COLD WEATHER" CUTE... not DIRTY SLUSHY ICEY SNOW CUTE...

I HAVE NOT gotten a MUCH NEEDED haircut...

I HAVE NOT colored my hair... (which is also MUCH NEEDED)

BUT...

I HAVE gotten up every morning, SHOWERED and gotten dressed... in CLOTHES... and gotten Lilley-Kate to school ON TIME...

I HAVE packed Lilley-Kate LUNCH every day...

I HAVE become a FAN of ALL THINGS "JERSEY"...

I HAVE spent ALL DAY (most)somedays... on the COUCH... watching ALL THINGS "JERSEY"...

I HAVE walked around the house AIMLESSLY... looking at ALL THE THINGS I haven't DONE...

I HAVE formed a VERY SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP with MULTI-GRAIN PRINGLES and PEANUT BUTTER M&Ms...

I HAVE figured out the PERFECT BLANKET LAYERING NUMBER to be cozy on the COUCH...

I HAVE vacummed every evening...

I HAVE made beds every day...

I HAVE THOUGHT about making a couple of new "HEAT BAGS"... since the SMELL OF BURNT RICE is getting pretty unbearable...

I HAVE been SHORT TEMPERED...

I HAVE been IMPATIENT...

I HAVE been WEEPY... WHO KNEW ALL THINGS "JERSEY" (and JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE) could make someone CRY???


OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD... Will it EVER STOP SNOWING???
