On day 1 of the school break Jade, O and I went to the local museum to do some arts and crafts. O and I worked on one project together (and by ‘together’ I mean he sat on my lap and chewed on a crayon while I worked on my project). Jade worked on hers alone. After we finished, she could hardly wait to show the Hubs the projects that we made. She was so excited. As soon as he walked in the door, she handed him my project, “Look Daddy!! Look what me and Mommy made at the museum!!!” Hubs goes, “Oh, that’s beautiful.” Then she handed him her project. Hubs says, with genuine concern in his voice, “Oh no, what happened to this one?”

On Day 2 of the school break I took the kids to an outdoor shopping center. It’s a huge shopping center and they have a shuttle that can take you from one part of the shopping center to another. Jade was totally obsessed with riding the shuttle. Finally we saw one and we were close enough to the shuttle stop to get on. When I approached the shuttle with the stroller the bus driver sharply told me that I had to take O out of the stroller before we got on the shuttle bus. So, I let Jade get on, unbuckled O and put him on and then prepared to lift the stroller onto the bus. She stopped me again, saying that I had to fold up the stroller. Well, I couldn’t fold it because I had a ton of stuff in the basket. We had been shopping, you know? The bus driver said, “well you can’t get on”. At this point Jade starts crying and another passenger chimed in that there was plenty of room near the front of the bus. The rude bus driver would not be moved. I had to get Jade off the bus and walk back to the car. Jade was keening. Literally, walking and wailing as we made our way to the car. Evil bus driver lady.
I started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred today. Level 1, circuit 1 only. Hey! You’ve got to start somewhere. I’ll do this for a week and then add circuit 2 and so on and so forth. At this rate, it will be the 30 Year Shred, but at least I’m doing something!!

O lost the toilet paper thing that goes in our downstairs bathroom. We couldn’t find it for weeks, so in the downstairs bathroom we just had the TP on the back of the toilet like a public restroom. I know, so tacky! At least we don’t entertain frequently.
Anywhoo, while I was emptying the dishwasher on Day 4 of the school break, I noticed something weird in the bottom of the dishwasher.
I took a closer look……..
Yes. There is my toilet paper thingy in the bottom of my dishwasher. Do you know how often I run my dishwasher? During the two and a half weeks that the thingy was lost, I probably ran my dishwasher four times. Good grief!!!
That’s all my randomness for this week! Want more? Go see Keely and the rest of the folks participating in RTT!!!
How exactly did your tp holder end up in the dishwasher?

Hahaha! Lol about the toilet paper thingy! And about your definition of doing the craft “together”!
(PS your comment section is just fine because I can scroll back to the top and look at the post so I can refer to it in my comment!)

When I had a toddler in the house everything ended up in the toilet. And I mean everything. Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

Evil bus driver lady! Clearly she doesn’t have children.

Hey, at least your TP roller thingy was clean. It’s too bad we can’t stick the entire bathroom in the dishwasher, I HATE doing bathrooms. Sorry about the evil bus driver lady, people are mean.

That bus driver really was evil! What a jerk! Too funny about the toilet paper holder. I had to really look to see it in the pics it really blends right in. LOL!

Well, at least you know that toilet paper holder is really, really clean!
I am often at a loss for words with some of my eight-year-old’s drawings and paintings. I know she’s waiting for me to say something admiring, but sometimes I can’t even tell what I’m looking at.

Toliet thing in the dishwasher, either one of the kids could be responsible for that. You know I read a story about a 17 year old mom who lost it and poured milk on a bus driver for that stroller fold down thing. The bus driver proceeded to to follow the girl off the bus and kick her ass. Next the girl stabbed the bus driver. This is a true story. Your mean bus driver should have read that story.
In all fairness, rules are rules.

LOL! I remember the days of looking for things that disappear. I learned early to look LOW on the little people level (lol).
