On a happier, or at least funnier note yesterday we were heading down the autobahn behind a Porsche Carrera when we hit a bit of traffic and had to slow down. The rear spoiler on these cars goes up and down according to speed. Grayson was watching the car, as like all the other boys he has car fever, when the spoiler retracted leaving the back of the car one smooth line. He freaked out and started yelling and pointing, hitting his brothers to get their attention. It took me a few minutes but I finally realized what the commotion was about. He thought the car was transforming, as in it was a TRANSFORMER like Bumble Bee. I think he was waiting for the aliens to arrive and the big battle seen to take place.

Oh God! Help Me!
I have lost the notepad that has all my notes for pack out on it. What still needs to be bought for the consumables shipment? All I can remember is we still need to buy booze, specifically tequila and triple sec for margaritas, what does that say about my state of mind? What still need to be done and before Wednesday and by whom? Beats me but I am afraid the answer might be everything and by me alone. What do we need to buy this summer when we are in Texas? Spices, cereal and a whole bunch of other stuff that I can't remember that all will go UAB from Texas to Malawi. It also has all my notes for this next weekend: graduation, raingutter regatta, Alonzo's birthday. Basically I have lost my ever loving mind. Now what?

OH NO! Do you think the notebook's in the house somewhere? Maybe you should offer a reward to whichever son finds it first.
ROTFL about the cute car story!
I am in HORROR over the idea of your notepad being gone. It simply MUST be around there somewhere! Good heavens!
David walked in right after I typed that and asked what is wrong? I told him I lost my mind. He walked to the desk in the living room bent over and picked up from the floor where it had fallen, he didn't say a word or make fun of me, just gave me back my notebook and then gave me a kiss. Lord I love that man!
Now I am outside under a tree playing on the computer, at least until my battery dies, while the three youngest are trying to catch a pine cone on fire with a magnifying glass. I think we are all safe since none of them can sit still for very long. David has taken Cody to a graduation party where they are all going to some Medieval fest -beats any I went to which usually involved a barn and a keg. Dave is then going to pick up the bulk our consumables shipment which is ready and waiting at the commissary. Checking that of the list! Just need to go buy a few more things at the local grocery store. YAY! Then he will BBQ outside because NO ONE is cooking in that kitchen until this is over.
Thank goodness you -- or he -- found it. I came back to check the comments just to see whether the was an update.
If I hadn't found it the next update would have likely been a story about a EFM going completely postal in Frankfurt.
Yay for found notebooks and for getting out of the house when you need to de-stress! Thinking of you this week and I totally hate the "no pack by owner" (or even sort by owner) rule...makes it so much harder! Hope it goes smoothly!
oh, girl. i am having a good laugh right now. love this post. i will have strawberry ice cream (from ed) and some nice drinks (from me) when you arrive.
So happy you have your brain back... scary... altho, as long as you remembered the margarita fixings, you'd have been alright ;D
thank goodness for Dave. So glad it's back.
