Ensuring she knows her place!

As you are all aware Mum AKA The Secretary has not being doing her job properly of late.
She seems to think it's acceptable to be a slacker.
I thought it was time to get some ground rules firmly established before she gets totally out of control.

First I went shopping and bought a book, which I left on her desk.



She didn't seem to take the hint, so I thought I better make things a bit clearer. I stuck this on the laptop screen..



Hmmm that provoked a slight reaction (if her screwing it up in a ball and tossing it in the trash counts!)

She still didn't seem motivated to get to work though. So I confess that I blatantly lied, I told her that in exchange for a years worth of solid blogging, no slacking and no excuses this was her reward..



Dumb dodo fell for it too! So don't expect me to disappear for at least 12 months.. Mum has her eye on her prize!!

Desperate times force desperate measures folks

Don't worry Dave I'm not planning on dog napping you for real.. just don't tell Mum that!

What's that Mum? You're busy? Doing what exactly?? *sigh* you just can't get the staff these days :o)

Bennie, when Mommy read "Yorkshire pudding" on your comment, she began to drool. Apparently, Granny used to make delicious "Yorkie" and roast beef every year for Christmas dinner. But since there's now only Mommy and Granny, she hasn't made it in years. She made it in a square pan so there were four lovely big crusty corners. Hmmmm, Mommy's drooling again....

Your pal,

Petey

I sure would like to be your friend.

Thank you for coming over to see me at my blog.

Until later wiggles and nisses (nose kisses), Luv Tessa

Cool book, Mom has Bloggers for Dummies, maybe we need to find that one for her too.

Hey, we see Freckles, aka Dave, there - he is such a sweetie.

Woo asked about the baby biped stuffies. Funny thing, the pups NEVER have touched any of the babies toys. And every morning the babies round up all the dog stuff that Thunder scatters through the family room at night and toss it back into the kitchen for the pups. Mom is always amazed that they have this mutual respect for each others' things.

Woos, the OP Pack
