Damnit, I am just like my mother.

December 24th, 2006

My mom was famous for hiding things from my father and I and then losing it. Like most things my parents did, I swore I would NEVER do that. Well darn it, it is confession time… I lost probably one of the best Christmas gifts I got the kids. Austin and Christopher LOVE Zelda, and I got them the new Zelda game. Now I cannot find it; I am not even sure if I got it. Either I wrapped it already and put it under the tree, hid it from the kids and cannot find it, or never received it at all. I went to the tracking website, which is something called UPS-WI which partners up with USPS, so neither UPS or USPS could help me because the tracking number is unknown to them both. UPS-WI just shows the package transfered to USPS on Dec 16th in Illinois… so where is it now?? HAVE I LOST MY MIND? MY SANITY? MY MEMORY??

This loss is a shame, however, on a brighter note it’s not an Easter egg.

My Mom wasn’t always great at tracking where she put the eggs. One year, I missed one and she didn’t realize it….we eventually found it thanks to it’s distinctive odor weeks/months? later.

Although, an egg and smell is cheaper than “Twilight Princess.”

Cast of Characters

Me: Heather, thirty-something mama to five wild kiddos. With such a broad age range, I can easily be nursing a baby while helping with Algebra homework. If I ever get spare time, I enjoy technology, knitting, reading, and just hanging out with my kiddos.

Bobby, my best friend and partner in crime for all of my adult life. Ex soldier, turned computer geek, he's traveled the world and then some. Truly an awesome husband, and dad, even when he is almost 7,000 miles away.

Austin - 15. My witty comedian, he can always make us laugh with his great sense of humor. Austin is responsible, hard working, a dedicated friend, and sympathetic to the plight of others.

Christopher - 13. My professor, he always has a fact ready for any situation. Christopher loves math and science and is especially interested in the weather. Christopher loves to get lost between the pages of a good book.

Matthew - 6. My silly little jester. Matthew can make anyone laugh with the hilarious things he says and does. We are easily amused with his "Matthewisms", even as a baby his timing was impeccable.

Sophia - 3. The princess. With 4 brothers, it is easy to see why Sophie is such a diva, but behind all her drama, she is genuinely the sweetest kid I know. She is quick with a hug or an "I love you" and touches everyone she meets with kind words and a smile that lights up a room.

Liam, born 12/28/10. The n00b. Our 5th and final. Lovingly nicknamed "Mr. Grabbyhands", and about 300 other nicknames. Liam is easy going, laid back, cuddly, and sweet.
