hide the cucumber

so i had a mini breakdown this week. i'm sorry to anyone who got stuck with me that day (paula, danny, lisa... the list goes on)

i decided to make myself a nice healthy salad for lunch to take to work on friday. when it came time to put the veggies away, the cucumber was missing. it was downhill from there. no one thought it was as big a deal as i did that there was a half a cucumber rotting away somewhere in my house, but i felt like i was losing my mind (my mother has since informed me that it is probably the case - she claims she was fine before she had kids!)

i mean, how do you lose a frigging cucumber? (this was repeated many times on friday, followed by hysterical laughing or crying or sometimes both.)

i did eventually find it (thank god) under the couch in the living room. i felt victorious and danny thought i was nuts (which apparently i am.)

yesterday we did some much needed purging in the house. mom came over and we cleaned out the basement. after a bit of drama we filled my brothers trailer til it was overflowing. it makes me happy to look at. we've had crap in the driveway, ont the front porch and in the basement all winter, leftover from my mom's 'shotgun move'.

so how we need to take a load to the sally ann or value village and things will feel a lot better in the house. if i can sucker someone into helping me, i'm going to try to get it done today. yesterday mom helped us moved some stuff upstairs into what will be the baby's room and with the rest of the crap gone we'll be able to move some of the other baby things downstairs and we'll get our dining room back!
