Heard in our household yesterday

Ben: Honey, have you seen my paint chips for the church?

Me: (in the shower) No, they've been laying around the house in various places so much that I am no longer able to keep track of them.

Ben: Oh

Me: I mean, you are not really the best at organization.

Ben: I only required a yes or no answer

Me: Wait. . . come back here, are you mad at me?

Ben: No, just hurt

Me: (Yelling because he left the bathroom) Honey. . . HoNEY. . . HONEY!!!!

Ben: What

Me: At least you didn't super glue your fingers to a ceramic snow man

Ben: (silence)

Me: What I'm trying to say here is that we balance each other out.

Ben: Where is the balance between being disorganized and gluing your fingers to a snowman?

Me: I'm not sure. . . maybe that's unsolvable even by the greatest mathmatician.


I've decided to hold off awhile before continuing my four part "Life Changing Events" series because they run kinda heavy. Its almost Christmas and the holidays are going to be hard enough as it is dealing with the present, let alone the ugliness of my past. Plus, I'm already feeling emotionally raw after yesterday's adoption events which I will also explain in a later blog.
