[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 255835, member: 3907"] And this is why I used to have a padlock on the fridge, and those magnetic safety locks on ALL of the cupboards in my pantry, until difficult child left home. I think the reason little things get up our noses so much is that, you come up with a simple orderly plan to help you organize your day, and then you're thwarted at the last minute, when it's too late to do anything about it. Here's an example: I know there's a pie in the freezer and a carton of vanilla ice cream, so I plan to serve pie with ice cream for dessert after dinner. I take out the pie, put it in the oven to bake. Cook, serve and eat dinner. Just in time, the pie is ready. So...I go to get the ice cream from the freezer, and it turns out to be an empty carton! AAARRRRRGH! If I'd known ahead of time that there was no ice cream, I would have stopped at the store on my way home from work. BUT...now we have a hot pie, ready to serve, and no ice cream to go with it. If I go to the store now, the pie will already be cold (or devoured by difficult child) by the time I get back with ice cream. So, now, your best laid plans go straight into the bin. It's beyond frustrating. Trinity [/QUOTE]
