Who took the cookies from the cookie jar?

We used to chant this with the kids in preschool:

Who took the cookies from the cookie jar?
Cassie took the cookies from the cookie jar.
Who, me?
Yes, you!
Couldn't be.
Then who?
TB took the cookies from the cookie jar!
And it would go on and on.

Well, we're not talking about cookies here. It's baby food jars. An opened jar of bananas and an unopened jar of sweet potatoes magically appeared on top of Linda's clothes. I say magically because, of course, no one took the jars from the downstairs cabinet. Or, it was those little imps Notme and Idaknow.

It really bothers me that no one will own up to it. I don't really care at this point why the baby food was moved from the cabinet to upstairs and on Linda's clothes.

TB and I had the kids come in and sit with Linda, T, and the two of us. I already knew we weren't going to get anywhere and the kids were all wondering what the big deal was all about. And it might have seemed really trivial but the point was, someone was fibbing. That was the part that upset us most. Lying to stay out of trouble always seems to be first on the list of choices with kids. Bleh.

I suppose we'll never know who took the jars and left them on Linda's laundry basket. :P

Start with a warm day and add some high humidity! Throw in thundershowers in the evening and you have a typical Michigan summer day. What's the weather like in your neighborhood?

The weather in New Jersey sounds like the weather in Michigan! Right now, it’s sunny and hot. When I go outside, it’s like stepping into an oven. The air is humid so already the perspiration starts running down my face. I can’t stand that feeling, not unless I have an ocean to jump into and I don’t. I avoid going outdoors if at all possible. I don’t think we’ll have the relief sometimes brought by a thunderstorm. We’ll have some rain tomorrow and that will bring the temperatures down.

I really believe that all states have the saying, “If you don’t like the weather here, wait five minutes and it will change.” It doesn’t help! :P

Take a good look around you. What's the most pressing disaster brewing in your house? A mammoth pile of laundry? A Leaning Tower of Dishes? A junk closet about to explode? Do you have any immediate plans for dealing with it, or is it hidden enough that you can ignore it a while longer?

Right at this moment, it’s in my room … It’s a little bit of everything lying all over so it’s not hidden. I’m getting to it a tiny bit at a time!
