Like the Corners of my Mind

Sometimes I open my refrigerator and find the oddest things.  Recently, there have been a number of dead plants in there.  What happens is that Eli will find something outside, like an old corn husk or one of those cat-tail plants (is that a real plant?) and bring them inside.  Since we have two cats that make it their mission to eat any plants or flowers that come in the door and then systematically throw them up all over the house, Eli has taken to hiding the plants. After meeting with parental disapproval for placing a handful of dandelions in the silverware drawer, he has decided that the ideal safe-from-cats place is the refrigerator.  So there, next to the butter and milk is a brown corn husk and a bunch of brown grass.  I don't really stop him from doing this, I just secretly throw it all away when he's not looking.  Yes, once again, I win the award for All-Time Awesome Mom for 2010.

These are the little things I will miss when my kids grow up and instead are hiding their weed in my fridge (haha, just kidding - I hope).  That, and having to fish whole rolls of toilet paper out of the already peed in toilet water (which has happened twice this week, oddly enough).  I feel like I should start singing Barbra Streisand's "Memories" song right now.  You might want to hum it through while you read this to get the fuzzy feeling I'm aiming at.
