If Big Boys Would Just Listen to ...

their wives! When HeRoos and I got married I could not believe the amount of receipts he would accumulate. They were ALL over the house- on the bedroom dresser, on the kitchen counter, in his pant pockets, in the car, everywhere! It drove me crazy (and obviously still does). I decided to get this problem under control by purchasing a small plastic accordion file and putting it by the computer. It is labeled by months. As soon as a purchase is cleared through checking, HeRoos is supposed to throw away the receipt unless we need to keep it. Then he is to file it in the handy dandy plastic file. He did very well for three months and then the receipts starting showing up everywhere again. Instead of pestering him nonstop I've been stuffing them in his dresser drawer. Low and behold, today he needed a receipt to return something to Lowe's. Do you think he could find it after sorting through the pile of receipts. Of course not. Maybe he'll start listening to his very wise wife. :)
