Turn off the lights!

I am CONSTANTLY reminding my kids to turn off the lights. HT used to try to tell me that he couldn't reach the switch, but I pointed out to him that he managed to turn the lights on so he can turn them off. The older two have gotten better about this, but there is still a long way to go...and I know it won't get better until they live on their own and pay their own bills! Last evening the boys both had ball practice. HT's was only 1/2 as long as JR's, so I brought him home and informed my husband to feed him and JC dinner. I drove back to the ball field, and sat in the van during the remaining of JR's practice, about another 50 minutes. I found it odd that the radio turned off after about 25 minutes. When I finally noticed practice was ending, I got out of the van, but couldn't figure out why the van was beeping at me. Suddenly I realized that I had been sitting there the entire time with the headlights on. Not good! Sure enough I tried to turn the van back on and there was nothing but lots of clicking. My wonderful husband gathered the two little ones and came to jump the van. We finally made it home around 8:30 last night, still needing to eat dinner and take showers. I definitely need to start taking my own advice and make sure I turn off the lights!
