A productive day

I got a lot done today. Well, not a lot, but a lot considering that it's summer and HOT.

I did some organizing of the garage. Not a whole lot because there's no AC out there, but enough so that I have some idea of how much more I have to do. I also finished reading a book, took a nap, cleaned the kitchen, put together a shoe rack, picked up the living room and sorted through another box.

My brother wandered home from class tonight 2 hours late. He got mad at my dad for going into his room. My dad kidnapped all of the dirty dishes, closed his window, and emptied the trashcan. My brother was upset that they didn't wait for him to get home. My mom was a bit annoyed that my brother didn't even call to say he'd be 2 hours late. My dad was annoyed because we're running the AC and my brother has been opening his window at 5 in the afternoon as opposed to 1 or 2 am when it cools down. This means that the hot air from outside is being forced into the rest of the house while my dad is cooling the great outdoors. I wonder how my brother can be so stupid as to think that it's actually cooler outside than inside at 5 in the afternoon. It's still been over 100 outside then for awhile now. Then I remember that he's my brother. He doesn't think. He's in that teenage stage where his parents have never been stupider and he's the smartest thing alive. I wish someone would kick him.

He doesn't do anything around the house. I've been waiting for almost 2 weeks now to get boxes from his closet. I can't go in there and get them and somehow he hasn't found time to give them to me. I'm not sure how he doesn't find time considering that the only thing he does is sleep and watch TV all day long. He's so spoiled. I need to find something to do besides rant about my brother. Sadly it's either that or the wonders of stuff I've been finding in the garage. Do we really need a two foot long plastic alligator?
