Hmmm. Something funny, something funny. I got nothin.
I just got complained at via e-mail that I hadn't posted anything this week. But nothing really happened to me this week, so I don't know what to write.
Did I tell you guys that I got my glasses? I think I did. Besides, that was last week.
Well, did I tell you that this week I lost them? Yeah, that kinda sucked. I thought I left them at choir practice. I had them at choir Wednesday night and I thought I had them when I brought the kids home, but Thursday morning I couldn't find them.
I checked all of the places I usually set my stuff. I found my wallet, my phone, my keys, my MP3 player... but no glasses. Then I went and checked the car. No glasses. So I went back to my room and threw around some dirty clothes to see what they were hiding. Nothing serious. A goblin and a couple of quarters. No glasses. I cussed a bunch so that Rebecca would say, "What's wrong?" She did and I told her I thought I had left my glasses at choir. I expected her to say how she had told me I would lose them, because she totally did tell me that. But she didn't. She asked if I had looked in all the places I had looked. I said yes. She asked if I had looked in the car. Then I got all huffy as if it was somehow her fault that I was an idiot. So I skulked off to check the car again. No glasses a second time.
Finally I went inside and resigned myself to the fact that I must have left them at church. I was pretty angry with myself. At the carpoole lot I checked my car one more time, as if by some special magic my glasses would appear. No glasses. At work I e-mailed the choir and asked if anyone had seen them. Then I called the director and she said she hadn't seen them. Then I went home all in a huff, because those suckers were expensive. I got in my car, then went and got the kids. When we got home I got the kids out of the car and I found my glasses. They were right in the front seat. Right in plain sight.
Anyway, I grounded my children for a week for being a magical convergence where material things can disappear and reappear. Kinda like the Bermuda Triangle. Except they would be more like a biangle. They claimed that they weren't such a thing and I said, "You wanna make it two weeks?"

I wasn't "complaining." I was just surprised.
Hope your kids learn their lesson after this.
"That's why we can't have nice things."
My husband has already started saying that to our daughter.
What is it with kids and glasses anyway?
haha!
