Sometimes in parenting, you have to get creative. And sometimes, humor is the only thing that keeps you from going completely nuts. This was left for my son to come home to after basketball practice tonight.
In some ways, I'm a walking cliche--a suburban mommy blogger of two kids just trying to keep my crazy yet wonderful life in balance. But, I'm also a career writer who has just returned to fulltime work in the software industry, I'm a wife going through a divorce after almost 20 years of marriage, and I'm discovering that life is full of surprises. But, mostly I am learning to look at the world through funny glasses with my tongue sticking out. Pfffftttt!

Did it work?? Do tell! I personally think it’s brilliant
(but then again, i’m the one who has entire, one-way, philosophical conversations with my cat…)

I need to put such a sign on the toilet in my master bathroom. It would read like this: “Sweet husband of the lady of the house, feel free to flush me at any time of the night or day. Actually, I INSIST you flush any time of the day, especially if you have left a log behind. Trust me, Mrs. Wife had rather hear the sound of that flush than have to see THAT the next time she has to visit me. Love, the toilet.”
Because, ya know, really. I finally trained the kids to push that lil handle. I welcome the sound of the flushing whoosh slightly disturbing my sleep. It’s much better than That disturbing sight later.

Whether it works remains to be seen. But, it did get a chuckle out of my son, who loves all things bathroom humor at this age!
Ame, I think you should TOTALLY leave that note. No one should have to come across logs without notice. That’s just WRONG!
Steph.’s last blog post..Proof that I’m not a normal person…
