Life Rules

If you have ever seen the tv show "NCIS," you know that the main character has a list of life rules. Here are a list of life rules our household has learned lately, although not in any particular order mind you.

  1. never hide behind a door at the top of the stairs during a game of hide and seek. this leads to multiple xrays and hide and seek being banned for 6 months.
  2. don't camp out on opening day of trout season because no matter how exciting it seems, it's only the beginning of April and it will downpour or snow for 3 days.
  3. don't let your family camp out on opening day of trout season because no matter how exciting it seems, it's only the beginning of April and it will downpour or snow for 3 days, and all the wet camping equipment will be left in the living room for ???? days.
  4. don't listen to people who say rabbits mulitiply like rabbits. they don't
  5. spring fever usually comes with alot of puking
  6. people who never stop by your house usually drop in during a bout of spring fever.
  7. if you don't get spring fever, watch out for ticks, who will make an early appearance in record numbers when you haven't even thought of buying bug spray yet
  8. after a month of NCIS re-runs, a new NCIS will air when you are on a run to the ER for #1
  9. don't take more than 1 kid with you grocery shopping unless you like going back to get what you missed the first time
  10. don't start the kindergarten pep talk 5 months before school actually starts. You will spend 5 months hearing "How many more days? How many more days? How many more days? How many more days? How many more days? How many more days?"
  11. ER trips come in groups of 2. (unless it's summer, then expect more)
  12. boy rabbits make better pets than girl rabbits
  13. more girl rabbits (meaning less boy rabbits) are needed for a successful rabbitry
  14. one usually ends up with more boy rabbits than girl rabbits
to be continued. . . . . .
