So...what's
wrong with this picture? I guess I should be thankful, at least the roll is
within reach. I suppose if a box of tissue had been nearby the toilet paper may
not have even made it to the counter.
So here's the
big question, do you prefer the forward drop or the backward flap? I've tried
both. The backward drop seems to make sense. The paper hangs straight down. No
chance of getting twisted. But..the forward flap shows the design. It also
seems to be the way hotels handle tissue. Hmmm. That must be the proper way.
Anyway...
Lately, I
don't care. I'm happy if the roll makes it on the springy-thingy.
Moms, have you
noticed…we are the end of the line when it comes to household management. We
get the stuff, organize the stuff, toss the stuff, and donate the stuff. We
also locate the stuff.
I remember thinking at my own
wedding shower (over thirty years ago! YIKES) that once I got married my soup
and salad days would be over. Okay... so I would be the sue-chef but I had not realized I would also be
the one in charge of all the stuff.
“Mom, we need
more cereal.”
“Mom, did you
know we are out of milk?”
So I have come
to terms with being the Stuff Manager. I’ve decided it isn’t such a bad role. I
love caring for my family. In fact, I'm looking forward to this summer.
I'll have my college kids at home. And my managerial skills will come
in quite handy.
As far as the toilet roll goes, I
am able to Let. It. Go. (so to speak) I have a choice. I can fight the
natural system-or lack thereof- or I can just place the roll on the roller- any
which way. This summer, I’m choosing to pick my battles. And toilet paper
isn’t going to be one.
She gets up while it is
still dark; she provides food for her family" Proverbs 31:15a-b
What
battles have you decided not to fight?
