Comments for The B-More Dad Blog http://bemoredad.com Wisdom and Whining from an At-Home Dad in Charm City Fri, 24 Feb 2012 17:54:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on Mount *%^$^& Washmore by MeanMommy http://bemoredad.com/2012/01/31/mount-washmore/#comment-588 Fri, 24 Feb 2012 17:54:18 +0000 http://bemoredad.com/?p=570#comment-588 I had a conversation with your lovely bride about this blog post. I’m a stay at home with no ability to find what is lost. This is how bad it is: I have to make a detailed map of my house and yard telling me EXACTLY where I have hidden the Easter eggs, (and reminded that I should fell lucky that I am still involved after what happened the first year). And then there was the time when “the man”, who finds everything, (my SuperFinder), lost his keys for three months and I let him have it every single day. “Can’t find your keys, huh? Look who loses things now. Hahaha.” Come to find out that I put them in the glove box of my car. The latest was my lost library card. 8 days! I looked everywhere. Hands scratched from digging under car seats. Forced my evil minions to help. Went to the library and looked through every book that I have taken out in the last year. “The man” calls me today and told me to look in my green bag. Why in the world would I want to look there? I haven’t even used that bag in the last five hundred years. There is no way on earth that it is….DANG IT! Are you kidding me? Now I have to see that smirk and call him Sherlock Holmes for a week.

I plan my day, then spend it doing something I had no intention of doing and feel like I’ve lost more time that I care to. Makes me feel like my ever loving mind is going squishy.

You do a lot!

I figured, hey, no worse than the skirt/tights combo, so no big deal. By the next year, she had decided that tights were itchy and made her legs too hot, so we battled over shorts vs. pants for months. Ever since she turned 5, I just make my life easier by putting away all the shorts when the weather gets cold. They live in the attic (or storage bin somewhere) from October-ish until sometime in March. I play to win. ;)
