I
If you could read my mind, what a mess my thoughts would make…
In an effort to get back to my blogging roots (i.e., stuff I used to like to write about, but somehow got lost, in all the conversations about marketing and paid trips to Disney World, just kidding, I haven't been to Disney World, since my senior class trip, anyway, way back in, well, never mind) I hereby claim this to be another Picture Perfect Thursday and take a moment to share with you another one of my less than perfect moments, in an effort to make you (yes, YOU!) feel a little better, about the stuff you're doing (or not) and FINALLY put an end to perhaps the longest sentence in blogging history.
You're welcome!
Long story, short (I know, too late) Heather and Holly purchased season passes for Great Adventure with their babysitting money (who knew, watching other people's kids paid so well?) and I was in charge of, you know, putting them in a real safe place.
BIG MISTAKE!
Here it is, 3 weeks before school starts and, well, Heather went once (end of year class trip) but, Holly STILL hasn't gone, so I promised to drop them off, yesterday.
"Do you have my season's pass, Momma?"
[blank stare]
Lost – one season's pass to Six Flags Great Adventure.
Found – a box of crap that should have been filed a loooong while ago and…oh…so THAT'S where Twilight and that set of bungie cords went!!!
Found – girl scout badges (actually, they call 'em Try-its now) and registration forms I should have sewn/submitted last June, damnit!
Found – my missing Sharpie pens ALL the kids swore that they, you know, didn't take from my desk!
Found – two ear buds-a-mating.
Found – my Ver-see-chi eyeglass case and NO my eyeglasses weren't in them, because that would make sense, der!
Found – one lone flip flop, whose mate gave up any chance of ever finding him and left with the garbage man, months ago…sorry, dude!
Found – my Mother's Day presents from…um…one, or two of the kids, I think.
Found – the closet under the stairs hides a lot MORE crap, than I thought.
Lost Forever and Ever, Amen – never did find Heather's season pass, which cost me a $15.00 parking fee (as opposed to dropping the girls off in the shuttle bus lot) and a $21.00 replacement fee, for a new pass, which they will probably not use (if I'm left in charge) again, to boot.
What Kids Learned: Do NOT give ANYTHING of importance, or requires an admittance and/or service fee, if not used, or lost, to your mother.
What Mom Learned: It freakin' rained, all day yesterday, so they closed the park, I had to go back and get the girls, who, after 3 hours of waiting on lines, never did get to ride anything, anyway.
What This Means to You: Absolutely, nothing. It's how WE roll, DAMNIT!
You're welcome!

I envy you. You only have a closet under the stairs. I have a whole basement that looks like your closet!
And yes, you did make me feel better.

I think I’ve purchased five replacement birth certificates in 8 years. I lose everything…and find it right after I don’t need it anymore.

The flip flop made me laugh! My nine year old son loses shoes on a regular basis. Right now he wears a pair of miss matched flip flops. It’s all that is left of several pairs purchased this summer. I figure he’s darn lucky they aren’t both lefts or both rights.
I look forward to meeting you in Chicago next week.

You made me laugh SOOOO hard! papers pile up all around the house and I have two o three boxes I’m afraid to check because I know I will find something I’ve been looking for months! Glad to know I’m not the only one 🙂
