Funny Things are Everywhere

No, this isn’t a joke.  No this isn’t a game…not like “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego.”  This is not a game at all.  In fact, Leo is MIA.  Who is Leo, you ask??  Well, he is a Little Einstein.  And Jackson LOVES Little Einsteins.  For Christmas he got a spaceship w/ all the Little Einsteins included.  He loves to feed them, put them to bed, and of course, perform Jimmy Buffet concerts for them.  He likes them so much that today at “school” when they were asked to thank God for something…..he thanked God for June, Leo, Quincy,….and whoever the other one is.

Well, tonite Brad is at the last home game for Butler.  The game started at 9pm so I only had a couple of hours alone w/ the boys…on top of the entire day, right?  No biggie.  Well, before Brad left I was vacuuming (as always….ha!) and the boys were putting away some toys…..and where all the Little Einstein peeps ended up is beyond me!

Flash forward to bedtime.  Jackson stayed up late w/ me to watch American Idol.  (Yes, he’s a fan.)  I thought he’d go straight to bed because it was LATE.   Well, he wanted to know where June was.  It seems he loves to sleep with June.  Whatever.  But, I couldn’t find her.  Of course, when I told him that, it didn’t go over well.  “OK.  I want QUINCY!!”  Fine, that should be easy enough.  Well, it turns out I found June and the other 3 Little Einsteins were MIA.  I was actually thrilled I found June…but Jackson was not.  So I had to come up with some story that the other Little Einsteins were at the Butler Bulldogs game with daddy…and you need to keep June company.

So far it’s working.  We’ll see…Ok….did I say I was going to have a glass of wine (not whine) and try to watch American Idol??  Wish me luck. 

If Jackson catches me watching it without him…well….it’ll be worse than losing all the Little Einsteins!
