-Washed, dried, folded and put away five (5!!!!) loads of laundry
-Rearranging and straightening the pantry
-Designed an “egg drop” project for Stevie’s scout camp project
-Watched my sweet boy swim for the first time
-Spent over an hour in the grocery store sans kids with time to actually think and plan a two-week menu
-Updated my beloved iPhone to Version 4 or 4.0 (whichever it is)
-Cleaned out the fridge
-Suffered through excessive humidity and extreme temperatures while accompanying my sweet boy at scout camp
-Had a long talk with the boys about fighting, arguing, bickering, etc., etc., etc.
-Used approximately 1/2 bottle of bleach on a load of clothes in a desperate attempt to fight the grunge of camping.
Those are some things I DID do.
Now for the things I most certainly DID NOT do.
-I did NOT find the top piece of my new bathing suit a full four weeks after losing it – ON OUR DINING ROOM TABLE – of all places under a stack of papers. (And even if I did I wouldn’t admit it because who loses a bathing suit top and finds it four weeks later on the end of the dining room table under some papers? Unless of course one is referring to a size three string bikini top because then it would be perfectly understandable how a set of strings bathing suit top could hide out on a dining room table for a full four weeks without anyone noticing it?)
-Nor did I find a brand new bathing suit – purchased last year - in my pajama drawer. Because who puts a bathing suit away at the end of the season and then forgets they even purchased the thing? On top of that, guess what? Last year, I thought the bathing suit was cut way too low. Funny things is, it’s still cut too low for my taste. I can’t win. I’m either wearing a bathing suit that’s cut way too low or I’m going naked because I can’t find the stupid top piece.
-I did not try unsuccessfully to install Version 4.0 iPhone software three nights in a row. (Couldn’t have been me because I am way more technologically advanced than that!)
-It wasn’t me who packed our stuff for a trip to the pool with my fellas without packing a set of floaties for the four year old. (Not I. Because I am way more organized and prepared than that!)
-I did not opt to ignore constant nagging phone calls from fund-raising folks trying to “win” the contract for fund-raising at Stevie’s school (where I am current PTA president). Seriously, this fund-raising thing is a BIG DEAL. I never knew there were so many companies peddling over-priced wrapping paper and flower bulbs. It’s enough to drive a gal crazy.
As if I have far to go.

Looks like you had a relaxing weekend. The least you could have done was find time to fix the oil leak…
Cheers,
Anne
I can totally relate about the lost stuff. I certainly did NOT find our grill tongs in my over drawer after 2 years of missing them and blaming my mom for losing them in her kitchen.
Happy Monday!

I also am president of my daughter’s elem school and HATE fundraising calls that never end.. AGH!
After everything you did NOT do, did you at least relax in the pool in the bathing suit that you did not lose?
Stoppin’ in from MckMama’s!

I understand things being lost and reappearing in odd places. Happens a lot around here.

The bathing suit stories crack me up. I am the one who buys things and then forgets that I bought them. All. the. time.
I have totally done that before with the bathing suit top! Hidden in plain sight!
Very cute “Not me”!

Your dining room table must look a lot like my dining room table!
You poor, poor thing…
Your post makes me smile. Thanks.
And, smiling am I, as well.
I found my bathing suit in my PJ drawer, too.
Love your posts.
