Like Mike said, we pulled down all the lights and Christmas decorations. The lights on the tree had somehow gotten all twisted up and we had the devil of a time untangling them. It sure looks bare where we use to have the tree sitting. It is also strange to walk past our middle daughter Tara'a bedroom and see it dark.
Today we sent Sandy to help feed the homeless at the Austin Street Shelter. She came home in a good mood. But we shall see if it holds. When we went to dig out a change of clothes for Sandy, we discovered that Sandy had not dried her clothes completely. All of them were damp. She had changed the setting on the dryer AND had put more then one load in the wash at once. We had specifically told her what to put the dryer on and had showed her what constituted a load. She had not bothered to fold and put away her clothes after they were washed, going against house rules. So because of this and other outbursts she will have to write two-four pages of I will or I won't...............fill in the blank. She had almost gotten caught up from a bunch I had enforced to try to get some respect out of her. So I have a feeling that we will have a very unhappy 15 yr old today. Mike will be going to a church officers meeting this Saturday leaving Sandy and I together for about 7 hours. I was dreading it until I came up with the idea to just add to her writing if she gets mouthy or disrespectful. Our friend Mary asked Sandy at one point Sunday if she was going to make any resolutions. I threw out to her that perhaps she may want to make a resolution to show more respect to her parents. Her answer was to stick out her tongue with cheese whiz all over it. I guess that was my answer. Nice huh?
