Have You Ever?

Have you ever been told that your brother called you but you can't call him back because the only place you have his number is inside your cell phone which was dropped on it's head on a beach and now gone forever?

Have you ever been snippy on the phone with an unsuspecting Verizon employee because of the frustrating process of replacing a phone?  (Dear Verizon Employee:  I am sorry I was snippy.  My exasperation would have been more accurately directed at myself because I'm the dummy who lost the phone.)

Have you ever told your children to pick up the same things they left in the same places as every other day of their lives?

Have you ever wondered if your children are in a secret conspiracy to make you crazy?

Have you ever realized with a hollow despairing feeling that you have two children signed up for basketball at the local elementary school?  That's four hours of practice a week!

Have you ever puzzled over what delusion you were under when you signed them up?

Have you ever been so cranky that your sweet first born, in an attempt to cheer you up, tells you that the dinner you just heated up in less than 10 minutes and is packed with who knows what chemicals "Looks delicious?"

Have you ever been home from a trip for 4 days and not unpacked yet?

I've never done any of these things...I was just wondering about you.
