We have four pets -- two cats and two dogs. We have a cat because many years ago dd wanted one and someone who worked with dh needed to get rid of theirs. A few years later, another cat wondered into our garage and our lives. We have a dog because ds and dh wanted one when dd was born...the dog came a few years later. Now we have two big dogs. So the cats aren't technically mine and only one of the dogs is mine.
Why am I the only one living here who can clean out a kitty litter box and pick up poop in the yard?
The other thing -- totally another subject.
In tutoring math, I am amazed at the number of times that a student says to me, we don't use a book. This is frequently right after I say, "let me see your book". I am usually saying this because I am a little lost and math books frequently have good examples right before the exercises. If I can see an example, I can usually understand it -- and then I get it! Fortunately, I have many math reference books. But why don't they use math books anymore??? The kids usually offer me their notes -- but would they really need tutoring if they took good notes?

They don't use books? How in the world can they study or even learn it in some cases? I had a coach for a teacher my first two years of high school math. I learned from the book and then most days had to teach the rest of the class while Coach was in the hall mentally reviewing plays for the game. I cannot imagine not having a book at all!!
I should clarify -- I think the school issues books, but the teachers may use worksheets, or more likely the students just don't bring the book home or to tutoring.
Hi, just spent a couple of days with your mom & dad - Keith & I had a lot of fun -
I WAS the only person in my family to take care of the litter box - but then I was able to run away from home! :-) Went to work in Bellingham, WA so Suz had to take charge. I am back at home, and am still making her clean Kuddlez litter box! YEA for me! HA!
Miss ya lots.
I know this is late - but I was catching up on my reading. I am right there with you sister - as the primary pooper scooper in the Bruce family!!!!!!!!!! Whas up with that??? but I love the little critters and its easier to do it than to yell and grip at everyone else for not doing it. That my be the story or legacy of my life. But it is always nice to B about it. Love you, Mary
