Gremlins

Do you have gremlins?

You know, those invisible little buggers that pop into your life just to mess with your head?

I do.

Almost every time I get into my car, my rearview mirror is askew.

I can never find one of the numerous rolls of Scotch tape in the house when I need one.

The ketchup bottle is always on its last squirt.

There's never any chocolate in the house when I need (you know what I'm talking about) it.

Don't get me started on socks.

Or why the Blistex tube always seems to be empty.

Gremlins. Has to be.

Do you have any in your life? And what kind of havoc are they wreaking?

The last roll of toilet paper is on the roll and you're down to the last strip.

How is it that every thing that requires a battery suddenly loses power at the same time and you don't have the one you need at home.

The last two weekends, I've had to get up at 6 and head to the store for coffee.

What havoc are they NOT wreaking!? I can never seem to find anything anymore in my house. :)

The toilet paper roll is a good one, Dru. That happens here, too.

I don't keep coffee in the house, Lynn, but that definitely sounds like Gremlins.

LOL, Elizabeth! I know that feeling all too well.

Oh My Goodness! The tape! I buy multiple rolls at a time and can NEVER find it!

Here's the list: toilet paper, laundry soap, napkins, AA batteries.....silly little gremlin buggers....

Probably just your children conspiring against you.

I have two little gremlins. Their names are "Not me" and "I don't know". Whenever something happens, is missing or whatever, it always comes down to "not me" and "I don't know". Example:

"Where is the Scotch tape?" "I don't know".

"Who had it last?" "I don't know."

I wish that I could take tax credits for them since they spend so much time with me. And since I seem to feed, clothe and house them I think that I should get the credit.
