Murmur in my daughter's laundry hamper.
. . .

I'm so angry and frustrated right now! I open the fridge to grab a Diet Pepsi and notice that the bowl of beans my husband had for lunch is dripping bean juice on my previously clean shelf. I look down to see if it has dripped to the bottom and find that something else, something red with seeds, had spilled and splashed - and dried, crusted - down there, too.

How hard is it to grab a sponge and wipe up a spill? My husband says yeah, he noticed that too and was frustrated by it.

Well, um, why didn't you clean it up?

Silence. Silence and a pissy little look on his pissy little face.

Oh well. I guess I'll get that tonight after I clean the toilets.
