Substitute Kitty which is one of the stuffed toys that I made for the boys. He has still not been found, but luckily Evan has not been too upset.

I can't think of the last thing I lost and couldn't find, but when I was in grade school I once lost a Penguin action figure on my way home in the woods. I spent years searching the woods for it. I can be slightly obsessive sometimes...

Money in my bank account. Also, time to spend with my daughter while she's been home for spring break.

A package of prosciutto. I distinctly remember buying 2 packages at the store because I didn't have time to wait in line for the really good stuff, and one package didn't have very much. I also remember taking the 2 packages out of the shopping bag along with several other items I had purchased to prepare appetizers. A few hours later, when dinner was under control and my guests were arriving, I went to open the packages and set the prosciutto out along with the other appetizers and there was only one package. I hunted high and low, turned the kitchen upside down, ransacked the fridge, looked in the empty shopping bags, looked in places it couldn't possibly be... but I never found that damn package of prosciutto. I would say the dog ate it, but I don't have a dog. I'll let you know if it ever turns up.

Still cannot find the bottle of organic merlot I am absolutely positive I bought at Frogpond Farm winery a few years ago. But, with two young men in the house, both of whom swear they didn't take it...well, you figure it out.

Oh so many things. I think the most recent would be my daughter's baby picture to send in for her senior yearbook. I had to settle for one from when she was two.

Dignity, definitely my dignity. I also think I dropped a piece of fish somewhere behind the oven, but I'm sure there will be an eventual stench that leads me right to it.

Great job at Sunshine's place today, btw. I go next week.

My drugs. Then I couldn't remember if I really needed the drugs or if I just took them. Which is a pretty good indication that I probably already took them.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
