I FOUND IT!!!

The truck key I'd been missing for a month.

I'd called every place I'd been asking if a key's been turned it. I even took to driving through parking lots it might have fallen out of my pocket in.

I've been packing/cleaning/organizing for the move, each time thinking it was going to show up..

Ya know where it was?

BEHIND -----THE----- REFRIDGERATOR!!!

no joke. If must have fell down there after sliding down from the key ring and over the pile of stuff that usually sits on the counter between the key ring and the fridge. (yes, ms flylady, I understand what a hot spot it. I seem to be lacking the water to put it out)

We painted the kitchen this weekend, including the wall behind the fridge and lo and behold!! the key. I was so psyched. I'm looking into putting some sort of lo-jack on it. At least everytime I loose my cell phone I can call it until the battery runs out (which of course is usually always when I've lost it) someone need to make lojack for keys and cell phones. really. I'd buy it.

Other than that-
I'll upload some pictures from this month next time. The camera is awol. (ah, again something I'd get lojack for) that and then the little memory card that goes into it that can spend days missing from both the camera and the computer.

We made another journey to the bike trail this week on one of the nicer days when I took a break from my nerotic try-to-get-everything done panic to stop and enjoy nature. It was nice. Until Kayla decided to take a nose dive from the front of the stroller. She was 'too tired to walk', and too prone to wander off her own way, so I had the, uh, opportunity for exercise pushing her and JM in the non-jogging beast of a double stroller we currently own. It was the usual- "he's pushing my seat/pulling my hair" fun time had by both stroller occupants.

Kayla decided as I was making an embarrassing attempt at a jog (pushing the duo glider beast) to catch up to Joey that SHE wanted to run, too, so she stood up in/on/infront of the moving stroller and got run over.

I'm a nominee for mother of the year, so I'm not entirely sure HOW it happened, all I know I was yelling "JOEY WAIT!!" and trying to run with Sonia crying "mommy wait for me" and then Kayla does the flip herself out thing. I'm not sure if he can't hear me over the rattle of his training wheels or if he just doesn't want to hear me. ... I'm sorta thinking someone should invent the remote control arm (al la inspector gadget) for moms- when the kid gets that far away, seems just out of ear shot and not listening... just send the arm out to get him.

Yeah, I'm probably delusional again. (warning: having 4 kids can do this to you, especially when they are age 4 and under)

And in case you've stumbled upon this blog or you know me or whatever.. if you have a name-

can you take a minute to add your name to this petition?

CA (where we're moving to) has passed some law taking away the right of parents to home-school their kids. Makes the *cough*Communist*cough* state we moved from look like a taxpaying paradise.

Gotta love living in a free country.


Until next time~
Peace~
