Day 1, no Charlie

Charlie left on his hunting trip yesterday, already I've stepped into action. Time to reclaim my house.

So far I have:

• taken all of his junk out of the junk drawer. It's my kitchen, that drawer is supposed to be for tin foil and stuff.
• taken a bunch of his junk out of my pantry and put it in the furnace room. It's a pantry!! Not a junk storage.
• Begun organizing the furnace room.

Will he be happy that I've done this? I doubt it. Do I care, not in the least. LOL

5 reasons why I miss Charlie:

1. He always wakes me up in the morning. Today, I woke up 2 hours early and got ready for work, including getting my kids up and ready as well. It was 6:00 when I finally noticed the time.
2. Every morning he says "Gee your hair smells terrific". (Not positive, but I think that was a line in a shampoo commercial or something.)
3. He listens to me gripe and complain and never holds it against me.
4. The propane guy is coming today to fill the tank and pressure check the lines. I don't like dealing with that kind of stuff.
5. He always tells me the house looks nice when I've spent time cleaning it.

5 reasons why I don't miss Charlie:

1. Paper towels all over the counter from where he made a sandwich. He will not let his bread sit directly on the counter, yet he will not throw the paper towel in the trash either.
2. Paper towels shredded up in the washer/dryer. He never cleans out his pockets before he does a load of laundry.
3. His friends standing around drinking beer in my driveway. They need a life of their own!!!
4. No beard hair in the sink.
5. When I look for something, I can actually find it.
