Love it.

My skids are teens now. And loud and messy. On my list of what the give me: eyerolls, sighs, big globs of grape jelly on my counters, headaches, nausea, anxiety...

Oh yeah. And on the long weeks they stay with us...sky high electric bills thanks to extra long showers twice daily...

Messy and loud!

Ohhhh hell no, twice daily showers? I'd turn the water heater off!

SS15 didn't even tell dh he took a cold shower when the pilot light blew out when the garage door was open on a windy day. I couldn't believe he didn't say a word. The kid is just weird. Who takes a shower in cold water and thinks nothing is wrong? Lol

Hey - when did my skids move in with you??

I swear on all that is holy, if BabyVoice doesn't start wiping her DAMN hands after handling the damn jelly but BEFORE she slobs it all over the handles on my fridge, I just might hurt her.

Sung to the Tune of "Carol of the Bells"

Ding goes the bell
Damn, the door bell
It seems to say
Throw life away

His kids are here
Bringing much fear
Time with the dregs
Walking on eggs

Bing Bang Bing Bang
Doors that will slam
Furniture breaks
Such the snow-flakes

Oh now the plan
Climb in the van
Off to the mall
Brats start to stall

Oh how they'll yowl
BM will growl
When back at home
DH will howl

Soon they will leave
DH will grieve
Stepmom can't wait
Drama abates

Merry, Merry, Merry, Skidmas
Merry, Merry, Merry, Skidmas

Yes! This is exactly how it feels EOWE Smile

Worst sound...door slamming as skids burst through it.

Best sound...the wheels of their little overnight luggage rolling down the hall Monday morning...

Awesome song writing skills ladies, vey impressed, I can't add to it since I have been informed that I only see the negative when it comes to the skids, but I agree with everything you said.
