In search of... and other excercises in futility

Been seeking the perfect trash can for my less than perfect kitchen. I'm feeling a bit like the 3 Bears. The first one was too big, next one too small, wrong shape, wrong color, couldn't assemble it and the list goes on. The captain put the old one back in its less than perfect spot in my less than perfect, but freshly painted kitchen for time being.

So as to distract myself from my disappointment I decided to search for other things my daughter was needing and wanting. School supplies(easy), clothing(like she has nothing to wear in her closet) and moshi monster figures(not so easy). Visited 2 Toys R Us, 2 Walmarts, 2 K-Marts and 1 Target. The store clerks, all very eager to help shared the same expression of bewilderment. Mosi, Mushi? What is it? Is it something new. Perhaps I should have looked for a trash can instead.

Camp Week 5

Yes, camp is half over. Where does the time go? We have had our share of excitememt. The princess came home looking like Smurfette, she had blue paint on her hands and legs. Blue and White day. The blue team won. The usual things like bug bite and sunburn. So glad I gave her Bullfrog Mosquito Coast. Now if she bothered to use it. Also a few wardorobe malfunctions concerning swimwear. LOL

Meet Mr Fish aka Jaws 2

Introducing the newest member of the household, Mr Fish.

Prishie decorated his habitat.

Hi ho hi ho it's off to camp we go.

After an extended absence from writing it's time to get back. My personal life has been in a bit of a tail spin as you may know. Was trying to think of catchy title for this post. Like 50 days of play. LOL Google that and you can imagine what came back. Its really more like 39 days of play, lunch included.

Bummer that the weather is so lousy this morning.

Third grade was a success. The caterpillars all hatched, Got the shopping list for 4th. Let's see what I can recycle, re purpose...

HS Graduation was great. Now to get the boy off to college. 

Will I post every day? Can't promise much of anything but I'll do my best to at least post weekly.

Happy Birthday Grandma P

One of my favorite pics of you and Prishie. Miss you mom!

You're so special because

Because of the kind things you do each day. When I see you smile it makes me feel special too!

When I hear you laugh I am reminded of how much you like to have fun. The party never starts until you walk in.

You are special because of all your enthusiasm in everything you do.

I think I want to be you when I grow up. That's how special you are.

Love Mommy
