I lost the Remote and Assorted Others in my Life

I was so pathetic at the grocery store today that a kind gentleman in his 80's offered to bag my groceries and I let him. I left my house at 11:15am and we got home at 1:45 pm. We live about 2 miles from the grocery store. Isn't that a sorry state of affairs? We bought some chocolate soy milk and it tastes ok for soy milk. I have tried soymilk about 20 times and I cannot bring myself to like it. But the chocolate does help, so maybe I'll switch my girl over to this for her cocoa fixes twice a week. Who knows, maybe we will go granola and live on a farm and raise raspberries and chickens and be pretty and literate in esoteric Russian fiction. Sigh. Or maybe I'll just get through today.

We also made a decision about a newer car. We've been waffling for a while on that one and we decided to just go for it, and if the offer falls through, then we'll adjust and make a new plan.

I lost the remote today. I seriously lost it in under 5 minutes. I was on the phone, I turned on Seasame Street for the toddler and I talked for a few minutes and by the end of the call it was gone. Husband and I turned the bedroom upside-down looking for it. I finally spied it while I was in the shower part of our bathroom. The one plus to the lack of door on the bathroom.

Well, my little teething patience-tryer is awake again and I am armed with Tylenol, a bottle of formula and some Irish Cream to take the edge off. Me, that is.
