The library says we have a book checked out, and I can't find it. I'm pretty particular about our library books, so I was surprised when they said it was still checked out.
As I'm tearing the house apart looking for it, I realized how spoiled I am by working and practically living online and on computers. I'm impatient with actually physically looking for things. I want that CTRL-F "Find" function for my house! How convenient would that be? I'd have that missing library book in no time!
Lost your keys? "CTRL-F - Keys". And BOOM! They are highlighted for me! Maybe they could even beep at me in case they are someplace where I can't see the glow (like under the couch).
It would be amazing for the garage and the junk drawer, where I can't find anything, ever.
"CTRL-F - masking tape" - BOOM! There's the highlighted glow from the workbench in the garage!
"CTRL-F - rubber band" - BOOM! There they all are, scattered at the bottom of the drawer!
"CTRL-F - baby"
Baby?
Hey, it could happen!

Why I wore soggy Cheerios around my neck yesterday...
and loved every minute of it!
My son is four, and this year I got my first homemade Mother's Day gifts from him. My first gift was a clay pot that he painted and filled with silk flowers - beautiful!
My second present was a necklace made from a kids' bead kit. It was a neon green "string" with colorful plastic beads all along it. Apparently, as he was stringing it, he decided to add Cheerios between the beads. I have to admit that it looked good that way. So, on Mother's Day, I wore it. I figured everyone who saw me would know a loving child made that for me. What could be better?
As the day progressed, I was holding my 9-month-old daughter when I felt the necklace jerk hard against my neck. She had gotten a hold of it and was pulling on it. I wrestled it away from her and moved so she couldn't reach it.
She spent the rest of the day trying to get a hold of my necklace, and she often succeeded. Each time she got it, she put it immediately into her mouth. This resulted in two things - first, a soggy necklace, and second, her first taste of Cheerios (which I had to constantly fish out of her mouth so she wouldn't choke on them).
So, I spent my Mother's Day wearing soggy Cheerios around my neck. I wouldn't have it any other way.

For today's Brutally Honest Bumper Sticker (BHBS), an anecdote:
Me: "I have my next blog idea already."
Hubby: "It can't be about me. I haven't said anything stupid today."
Me: "Yet."
Today's BHBS: Have you said anything stupid today?
