Guess who decided to grace us with her presence a week early at 6-something AM on February 20th?
Congrats to Carrie, BlissfulBrit, and 1PointPerspective for guessing the correct day!
Let’s just call her Baby Scout to go with Boo and Radley.
The two cars I’ve owned had only two doors. Since it was just me, I never needed a car with four doors.
Even that one extremely cold night in college when the girls and I decided…
Don’t judge. It was all uphill, a little snowy, unwalkable in heels, and no one looks cute bundled up in winter gear. Also…
So all nine of us piled into my Ford Probe. Which was a less cool version of this one this exact one.
How do you get 9 people in that car? Easy: 1 driver, 2 in the passenger seat, 5 in the backseat, and 1 in the trunk.
Alas, those days are long gone. Strapping a baby into a carseat in the back of a two-door with one tween and one teen (who is now taller than me) seemed like a no go.
So Kiefer and I bought a grown-up SUV.
Or so I thought. My grown-up car has mood lighting.
I may have just bought every 16-year-old boy’s dream car.
I’m totally going to get some.

While Kiefer, Boo, and Radley had a boys’ night out, I settled onto the couch in my pajamas. Just when I was about to declare that nothing was on, I found Mary Poppins.
Now there’s a no-nonsense lady who had her shit together. Her nannying skills whip that house into shape in less than a week—which is probably why she has no references. My dad always said you need to stay at a job at least 6 months.
Here’s what I learned from the movie:
No broom and no pointy hat = Not a witch.
In my house, let’s keep it confined to the roof, gentlemen.
Most importantly, I learned the correct way to fire someone. You bust the top of his hat out and break his umbrella. The firing is just implied.
Yesterday afternoon we heard we’d get 4-6 inches of snow today.
Last night we heard 6-8 inches of snow.
Kiefer: Since the snow won’t start until mid morning, you may end up going to school but getting released early. So be ready.
Boo: Everybody wear their pajamas inside out tonight. That will guarantee no school or work tomorrow.
Wear your clothes inside out if you want a snow day. Not backwards.
So…
Guess who fell sleep wearing their pajamas right side out.
Guess who the only person is who didn’t get out of school or work today.
