The Saga of the Traveling Hat

That's right. You heard me.

I feel your pain.
I don’t recommend the bashing of the head on the wall. I did that once when Donovan was taking forever to pee and he KNEW I had to pee and took I swear 10 minutes to go. I said I was going upstairs and he screamed at me to stay with him. I hit my head on the wall so I wouldn’t lose my mind. I threw my back and shoulder out and couldn’t walk upright for a couple days without T3 w/ Codeine. So skip that particular headbanging I say.
Oh my gosh, that is a bad morning! I dread dragging my one child around on errands like that and here you have 2 kids. Well at least it ended well. Now you seriously deserve the Hello Kitty guitar for x-mas.
You’re dedicated. We once had a similar experience with a lost blanket. It was traumatic. *shudder* We were calling everyone on the pre-school class list.
Sorry your daughter is sick. Ian sounds like an adorable child. My son gets attached to things like that too, in addition he can’t throw anything out. He still has every toothpaste tube he’s ever used and he’s eleven now. Have a great Christmas!
We have a stuffed Marie from the aristocats that I got at Disney World….. of course since the Aristocats hasn’t been out for sometime you don’t find these just everywhere. I have actually taken a picture of it and sent it with a friend who is going to Disney next month to try and find me another since I am SO paranoid about losing the one she has. I literally thnk she would have a nervous breakdown!
Wow, what a craptastic day. Since it’s now about bedtime, drink the mimosas and be merry.
This is totally tangential to your post, but your mention of how long it takes to do anything is on my mind. Lately getting out of the house (shoes, jacket, hat for Ada, shoes, jacket, scarf for me) is taking forever. Even when she WANTS to go outside, is begging to go out, she runs away at the mere mention of putting the coat on. Oy, I can only imagine with two squirmy kids….
Wow. I really don’t know how you do it. Thomas is about the same age, right? Two of him would kill me. I sure hope all is well would your family soon and that you have a lovely Christmas! See ya in a couple of weeks!
NL has to read Cheeky’s post on relative time. I had a long day too….. I wish I had the energy to write it up in such detail as you give us on hat recovery. Basically I would say. Mommy beaten even before shes out of bed. 10 AM by some miracle I have gotten us all of the house. Success shopping.. I am the best! Home good lunches missed the hailstorm.. I am batting a thou… Fuck, toileting awry.. no NAP no NAP… Ah pees pants and injury.. Baby nap interuptus… I SUCK!
mutually-annoying call to spouse.
See now, if that was me…I’d take the pirate hat away kicking and screaming (that would be me kicking and screaming) and force SF to wear the hat she made me track throughout the neighborhood. Then I’d burn the pirate hat and maybe even the other hat to prove a point. THEN and only then…I’d bang my head through the wall. All the while keeping SF in her time out because she favored the pirate hat over the lost hat…I’m normal…ya know.
Ya know, I had a feeling that’s where this story was headed. Mainly because that’s happened to the wife and I many times with the girls…
Makes you understand why your mother always told you ‘wait til you have kids’ when you were younger, doesnt it?
At least you got a really cute picture. I hope today is better!
This has happened to me before. These kind of days seem like every day things now. Yuck! I hope your daughter feels better fast! I totally saw the ending to the hat thing coming because that is exactly how things would play out with any of my kids.
I’m fascinated by the scary Mrs. B. Does she have a huge mole or something? Does she smell funny?
I hate those days. I really do. And they seem to happen a lot.
Wow. I’m drinking FOR you.
Hope everyone is feeling better in time for Santa.
Hmm. So I can get codeine if I bang my head against the wall? Just a sec. I’m off to find a good hard spot …
I love him in that hat! Thalia is sitting over my shoulder as I read this and she said, “arghhhh!” so I think she likes it too.
Yeah, but you have to forgive him when you see that face!
im totally stealing that hat next time I come over
Man I know what you mean, when they love something it’s madness.
It’s why we had to buy that stupid SECOND stuffed Bagheera off of Ebay……apparently the last one in existence.
Did you just drop an unexplained Backyardigans reference and assume that we would get it? I got it.
Sounds like another sunny day in paradise.
No, he did NOT wear the pirate hat after that incredible quest to track down the cowboy hat!!! I would have screamed!
A boy and his hat shall not be parted…unless a better one comes along.
Sorry about the mucousfest. I’m wading in it,too. Hope it’s done soon!
Merry Christmas
Somehow I just KNEW something like that was about to happen! Good thing they’re so cute, isn’t it? Happy Holidays!
LOVE that story. I can so see that in my future. Hope the rest of your holiday is better!
Fantastic pictures, Hillarious writting I love you.
cute little pirate ya got there
OMG, I just found your site and you are HILARIOUS!
I feel your pain.
Almost peed my pants reading this one! Sorry Claudia is sick and sorry that Ian was traumatized by the lost hat and sorry that you went all over creation looking for the damn thing, but man, that was some funny stuff!
