Droppings

A skilled biologist or animal guru can identify an animal by its droppings. A hunter could even track an animal for miles by identifying its droppings. A mommy can identify her family members by their droppings, too.

A) Giant cups left on the counter, manila file folders full of documents that aren't in English, clean laundry on the floor, cell phone charger left on the counter, string cheese wrappers on the furniture, the kids' dirty clothes dropped in the middle of the living room because that's where he changed them: these are all droppings from DH.

B) Thousands upon thousands of kleenexes used for only one little swipe upon the nose and then thrown onto the floor, Thomas the Train & his crew lining the grout in the tile, fruit snack wrappers, sippy cups on the tile, puzzle pieces from 9 different puzzles strewn all over the playroom: these are all ways to identify the little man.

C) Dolls, babies, stuffed things, an assortment of crap collected from birthdays/goodie bags/the trash, Hello Kitty blanket left anywhere in the house, piles of colored "messages" or pictures all over the kitchen table, neatly arranged rows of anything (paper, blocks, her sister's toys, the plastic things used to attach tags to clothing...): these say, "Boo Was Here"

D) Puddles of drool, shredded kleenex, my hairbrush in the middle of the living room floor: the baby slithered this way

E) And because life is never dull at our house: Bug Skin. Our ladybug larvae are SHEDDING. It's the craziest thing...everytime I look in there, somebody else has gone and shed their skin and left it. They all crawl around the shed skin and bump into it and check it out to see if its food. Nope, not food...just your buddy's skin. If Boo was a ladybug, she would be in there with an empty kleenex box (her current collection accessory of choice), collecting every one else's shed skin and saving it for later to arrange into neat rows.

What are my droppings? There isn't enough room on a blog.

Happy thought for the day: Mary Poppins is coming next week!!!!! Apparently she's not quitting after all. She must've gotten the message that I wasn't going to LET her. : )
