I am in charge. . . .

. . . channeling a very Alexander Haig-like vibe.  In the Kingdom of Me for the next four days of my reign:

1. Guinea pigs will not have night lights. 

2.  The bed will be made EVERY day.

3.  Smart Rinse after tooth-brushing will be optional.

As I think of additional edicts, I will post them.  Husband is away, so the illusion of democracy is out the window.  Absolute dictatorship until Wednesday night.

4.  I can lock all the locks on the front door and put the chain on, and lock the door from the garage to the house before going upstairs for the night.

5.  I can have my car's rightful place in the driveway (i.e. where I parked the entire first year we lived in this house until someone thought he had a better idea; I don't give a flaming fart about a better idea, I just want the left spot in the driveway.)

6.   I can drive the kids to school every day rather than have them take the bus (and sit in the bus waiting for the buses to unload two at a time.)
