I have definately NOT let my house fall apart since my dear husband has been out of town. No way, I am running a tight ship, let me tell you.
And while letting my little one's draw I certainly did not allow them to use their tummies and legs as their canvas.

I did not while trying (unsuccessfully)to solve my mouse problem attempt for at least an hour to get a little mouse (stuck in a plastic bucket) to run over a sticky trap....after all it would have been much easier to simply dump the bucket outside.
Upon finding that mouse the next morning stuck to the sticky trap, I absolutely did not spend my morning unsticking him,that would be silly, it's just a mouse after all. I certainly would not set him free.
I did not feel slightly guilty about how that poor little guy was suffering or ponder all day how I could solve my mouse problem without further loss of mouse life(why do they have to be so cute), because they are after all pests.....I know this.
My laundry did not get so far behind that I had to resort to wearing mismatched socks....this is not a habit that many of my children already engage in often.
