Kid Quotes- Baseball
C: Did you win?
Q: Mmmm it's hard to say... I think we... won, or we losed... I'm not sure.

Holdcroft Kids Smart Book
At one point I was caring for my sister's kids. My brother-in-law left a manual so we'd know what to do. He's a pilot. I hear they are all about checklists!

Rats, and Stuff
It's such a horror show cleaning a house.
That feeling might have been compounded by discovering a dead rat (?) or something in the back yard where I was going to dump the water out of a junked little cooler that should have already been disposed of. A dead rat right near my kids' swingset. Just great.
I let out a little scream when I saw the animal (maybe it wasn't a rat- it was sort of plump- so maybe it was a possum?), which was kind of great because there were a couple guys next door who heard me. Kindly, they asked if it was a snake. I said, rat, they suggested a shovel, which I thought was pretty genius. I was picturing myself trying to scoop the carcass into a bag. Maybe instead I'll just bury the thing.
I've been reading about hoarding a bit, and I can see why it's common to accumulate so much crap. It is SO easy to buy stuff-- just click a few buttons!-- and so much harder to dispose of things. I guess that's why we should avoid buying things in the first place. Maybe I'll work on that.
