Surprise

Kids- aren't they great. Well after having to use multiple efforts to wake them this morning I was having doubts to the future of the nation. It was a constant do this, do that kind of morning. Then it was get in the car before we are late. Whew! You almost feel like you have run a marathon or pulled in a great white off the coral reef and all of this was done before 8 am.

But, then when I was thinking dang my car looks bad. Maybe I can find $5 to wash it in the automatic. Hmm. Well presto, why my kids a genius occured. Catdog (6 yr old son) had recently filled his red pouch (red is the only color in the world worth having according to him) with plow boys saved change. Go Catdog!!! So since he left it in the car and would also like mom to drive around in a clean vehicle, I went to the automatic.

Ahh. The world is right once again. Thanks Catdog, mom's car looks great!

Just wait until CatDog get to be the age of JM's #3 son. Bribes and threats, baby. I got my car washed, interior windshield swiped and returned to my parking place at work last week. Again, all it takes is money (More in relationship to age), but I don't have to do it and a sparkling clean car is ready after a hard day at work!!! I'm a firm beliver in having children to provide services and manual labor!!!

Hee... Stealing from the kids... Who stole it themselves! Speaking of, I think I'll go break into the ole piggy bank and get some change to wash my nasty car, too. I bet the teachers that work the pre-school pickup line would be impressed!

Now I must take up for myself. It was only a use of funds that were probably being saved anyway for such an occassion. Or that is what I am going with.
