Update

Hi, I'm back.  Not much has been going on but I thought I would catch up on what has been happening.  I came home from work yesterday and noticed a few things weren't in the same place they used to be.  In the boys room the lower bunk was missing and furniture was moved in it's place.  I went down stairs and noticed that the freezer had turned into a bed and a pile of cloths in my bedroom had turned into a freezer.  Now before you join the Olympic conclusion jumping team let me assure you that Wife continues to sleep in the same room with me.  Once Wife got home it was made clear to me that Sparky had moved down stairs to the laundry room and much of our food storage and the freezer was sent seeking other lodgings.  The impetus for this is an attempt to restore (establish) domestic tranquility. 
 It seems that G-man and Sparky have this love/hate relationship much like Nelsen and Bart Simpson.  Sparky is exhibiting what we might call "beaten wife syndrome" and G-man is exhibiting what I call "turd bucket syndrome".  So as a reward G-man gets the room to himself and Sparky has to live like Jared in "The RM".  I did however mention to G that he is now the only one sleeping upstairs now.  This had a somewhat sobering effect on him.  We will try this arrangement for a time and see if the situation improves.

Sounds like how us three older girls got along.We also had Alleen in with us, poor thing. It was definitely female hormone city.

I did think about putting food under his bed.

Sounds like things are in control up there. We might try to make it up there for Linc's Court of Honor, but it is going to be hard to do with school the next day. We'll see what we can do.

I think the upstairs alone thing is great! Just the kind of thing that would have sobered me up in a hurry. I do have a certain sympathy for Grant as he seems to serve the same purpose in your family that I served in ours. Namely agitator in chief.
