An argument with myself.
September 7, 2006 – 12:01 pmI am talking again about moving. This month my inlaws will be moving out of their house and we will be moving back in. That is right we are going to rent their house. I am stoked and unenthused at the same time.
JD: I don’t want to pack, sort organize, and clean.
JD: But you just did it so it should be easier this time.
JD: Are you kidding me? Easier? with three months of total house wife slackery??Did you actually use the word easier?
JD: But you have one extra bedroom and a huge back yard!!
JD: All the better to clutter and get unorganized my dear! I am pregnant. And I don’t know if I can handle more episodes of losing my children at the park**, let alone the back yard!!
JD: It is over all nicer at the parentals home.
JD: You are so right. I really need to stop whining and get packing.
JD: Good Girl.:)
** about three weeks ago. I was at the park with three other moms. They all started playing the "where is my little one" game. So I looked up and started the fun game too. Two minutes pass and my mind jumps to the items of clothing we all needed to look for- as I hear my girlfriend say.
"JD, I just can’t see him",
In my head I am trying to calm my nerves by saying….Gray shirt, blue shorts, and then I realize my hands are oddly occupied…..
Just a minute! They are feeding crackers to……. YES The very child I have described as being lost. He, too, is busy looking for himself and signaling for another cracker. I accomplished the unthinkable! I lost my child at the park while he was sitting in my lap. I have repeatedly done this with keys, sunglasses, pens, but never children. It is a first, however I am sure not last, in the long line of mindless blunders that will shape the next six months. What can I say it keeps me humble. I can’t be brilliant, funny, and gorgious all the time, it would get boring.

Oh, I feel for you with the whole moving thing.
You are so funny! I can’t say I have ever lost a child in my lap… but like you insinuated… there is a first time for everything. Who knows?…..

Is living at your in-laws rent free? That would be incentive enough for me to pack all over again.
I had to chuckle about the lost boy incident. I am glad he was safe.

will there be wallpaper to remove at the in-laws? and that is hilarious about losing him in your lap.

Oh.My.Word. The park story is too great!
And moving is such a drag. I hate it with every fiber of my being. I don’t blame you for procrastinating! Especially while pregnant. Been there, done that…twice!

L.O.L. I cannot tell you how good it is to know that there is someone else out there who has had this happen to them!
