Puppy Party

Yesterday, my daughter (the 12 year old) asked me if she could go to a puppy party for her friend at his house. I told her I didn't see any reason not. Then at dinner her father asked her about it and he found out it was her guy friend. I thought his eyes were going to bug out. I had to kick him under the table so he would quit making a federal case out of it. Aparently the puppy was having a birthday party. Really it was a excuse to go to a friends house and so he could invite her over for a hour. The parents were there so I saw no reason to not let her go. She had fun anyway, and I have met this boy before. Anyway the 6 year old could not understand why she was invited to the puppy party. I took her to the library instead. Well there are a million things I should be doing like clean out the fridge, fold the laundry, load the dishwasher and others that I flat refuse to do like pick up toys. I make the person playing with the toys pick them up. Hmm maybe I will make the 12 year old fold some laundry too, tomorrow. Doesn't that sound like the best thing for the first day of summer? I need to work in my yard too. We have a patch of overgrown ivy and I keep pulling some of it up but it keeps spreading. My husband says it is going to choke him somday. Well I guess I will actually do work now I have avoided long enough.
