Why do I have 2 empty cartons of milk (full gallons) in my kitchen garbage can? Seriously, how does a household go through this much milk?
Why have I owned 3, soon-to-be four, of the exact same phone in the space of a year? (Tragic story to follow.)
Why is my kitchen floor perpetually covered in muck? ("muck in my dust pan")
Why did it take 3 bags to carry the extraneous stuff out of my car when I finally cleaned it out?
Why do I have flowers in a vase in my living room that have been dead for two days?
The answer: Life working with little children at home is chaos.
The remedy: No more working mom. Summer has come.
Tragic story: 1 year ago, actually make that 10 months, I took Finn and cousins to the park. Finn had, at that time, learned to thrust things from his Little Tykes car. At the park, unbeknownst to me, cell phone number 1 (gold) is ejected from car. I realize this two houses away from my house. I return to park and ask a man, that later I acknowledge is a fishy character, to call my phone for me. Strangely, no response from phone. $50 later, a new phone (black) is sent from the insurance company. Phone number 2 makes it quite some time. One month ago, phone #2 goes down--you guessed it, water damage. Another $50 later, phone #3 (silver) is sent. Tonight, phone #3 falls tragically into wet bathtub. I do not have a phone to complain about this to anyone, so therefore, the blog provides the only venue at present for my perturbation (Boggle moment--you doubted me didn't you).
Merciful ending: Summer is here, two and a half months of glory ahead. Rock on!

Poor Sarah. Can you request your next phone to be ruby? Or Diamond encrusted? After gold and silver, the next step is gems.
So true, if the next one is emerald, then all will be well.
like i said, i can't handle a phoneless sarah!! what to do? thank goodness for blackberrys, a portable link to this unreachable sarah. although, as grateful as i am for this connection i admit i get a little impatient with the idea that i have to wait for sarah to notice a little jumping number telling her she has an email!! how did we ever survive without cell phones? we've all become impatient slaves to technology.
Ah geesh I am with Julia... we need to get you a house phone or a long reaching walkie talkie
HOUSE PHONE!! Problem solved.
My cell phone is falling apart (aka. won't stay in the flipped up position, etc.), but I refuse to get a new one because I have had the dangerous habit of running into pools after struggling children, phone in hand, of course! It is a Christmas Miracle! :)
