The Schmidt House rules according to JG

This morning JG snuggled in bed with me and listed off the rules of our household as he understands them:
  1. No throwing pillows
  2. No throwing pillows at lamps
  3. No throwing pillows at glass mostly water glasses
  4. No hitting your friends or sisters with hockey sticks, bats, dowels, kitchen things (utensils) or pillows
  5. You must keep your clothes on at all times unless you are in the shower because no one wants to see your underware - that would be way barassing (embarassing)
  6. Do not pour Tang in the refrigerator
  7. Frush (flush) the toy-it (toliet)
  8. No frushing toys or toothbrushes in the toy-it
  9. Tell mommy when I go outside in front, but I not go when mommy is in the shower cause she gets mad and she is wet
  10. Do not give the dog a bath with the hose and hand soap
  11. No drinking beard (beer) cause you can get sick

I honestly do not know where Rule #11 came from. I asked JG who told him that and he said he just found it out in his head. Let's hope that little voice in his head speaks to little man REALLY, REALLY loud when he is in college.

Whoa. Lots of pillow issues at your house! At mine, you could replace "pillow" in each line with "Molly's tennis ball." As in: No bouncing Molly's tennis ball in the kitchen when we have guests over and Mom has just put pizza sauce on two homemade pizza crusts, because there is NO WAY to salvage them once the dog-slobber ball has bounced its way through BOTH, with the dinner guests looking on in horror.

And as far as college goes: no comment. :-)

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma
