Life Rules, part 2

A continuation of NCIS-life rules from our family. Sometimes I picture myself as Gibbs, corralling everyone, dividing up missions, whopping them on the backside of their heads. I wish I was more like Abby, know-it-all, never-wrong, happily isolated in her lab with her door remote control, where no one dares to enter unless beckoned. Unfortunately, I don't even have a lock on the bathroom door.

  1. I know, this should be rule #15, but anyways. . . rule#15: when you want to blog a continuation of numbers, you will spend 20 minutes trying to figure out how to start with #15 on the numerated list of numbers, but you will end up realizing it would have been easier to just type 15 than try to get the program to do it automatically.


  2. parents should get their sleep caught up before summer starts. kids can automatically go from sleeping in and almost missing the bus on school days to getting up (and being LOUD) at the first sign of light on the first day of summer break.


  3. the spring you decide to plant a boatload of peas in the garden, a boatload of slugs will devour them in one night.






  4. day 2 of summer break is often worse than day 1.






  1. Do not keep dog flea shampoo in the bathroom next to the people shampoo.


  2. If Facebook says "you are in a relationship," then you must be. (This is the newest teen rule.)
