Yeah. . . . my glasses are gone.

So Clara is having a little bit of difficulty with the concepts of "dirty" and "garbage".

For example:

I let her finish a glass of my water and said "Ok, its all done! Lets put the dirty glass in the kitchen."

She obediently took the glass into the kitchen and I thought "wow, that was really easy!"

And then I head a "Thud!" and the garbage can flap flapping.

"NO!! It's not GARBAGE!! It's just a dirty glass!"

She looked confused. I looked annoyed I'm sure. Because earlier that week I found her throwing away my dirty clothes. When I removed the half thrown-away article of clothing from the garbage I found already in the can two pairs of her dirty undies and one of her t-shirts.

I tell her all the time when I'm sorting out the laundry "no, pelase don't play with these, they're dirty." or "Put the clothes back in teh basket please, they're dirty".

So I guess she stood back one day and noticed the laundry bins by the garbage bins and was like "DIrty. Garbage. Hmmmmmmm."

Thus we come to about a week ago. My glasses go mysteriously missing from my nightstand before Church. no prob, wear sunglasses. Field the questions, search again when I get home.

A week later, after wearing my OSHA approved safety glasses for four days (until I could get the stupid plastic side eye guards off them) and then wearing my formerly-known-as OSHA approved safety glasses for another few days, Tyler and I reach the conclusion that Clara almost positively threw my glasses away.

>sigh<

At least I was able to get the stupid side guards off.

Look Who's home!

Yay! We made the front page of Misawa.af.mil and there's a story too (I'm quoted at the bottom). They hooked me up to a mic and had the camera on me at one point. I may be broadcast to the Pacific region on AFN. . . . . . I should have put some lipgloss on. At least I showered! : )

Hoefully this is worth it . . . . . .

Over 2 months since I've posted. I realize this. It's been a busy summer with Tyler gone, visits to Washington, Maryland, Utah, and California, two house guests for 7 weeks total, sold a car, bought a car, fixed the lawnmower, cleaned out the garage, killed 3 big spiders in the same day, oh yeah, and one more thing I found out:
I'm planning on catching the blog up a significant amount as soon as Tyler gets back and hooks up the computer monitor in the bedroom, because it's very hard to blog and add pictures on the TV computer.

Rest assured there will be ample posts regarding my feelings of nausea, fatigue, and general mental retardednes. All of which may or may not be related to the baby.
