It’s been an eventful 12 hours for me. The Husband got home from the Dominican Republic last night at about 9. My daughter got home about the same time from her pre-community service mani/pedi. Things from husbands trip are literally all over the house. Daughters things are also in disarray as she finished up packing for her trip. Her trip which required me to wake up at 2:15. AM. Because we had to be at the airport at 4. AM. And since this is the city that never sleeps, you must give yourself an hour to drive 15 miles. (FYI- we reached JFK from Manhattan in a record 22 minutes. Then spent 45 minutes searching for caffeine and tried to bribe retail doughnut establishment into opening early but stale cough drop and forever stamp not enticing enough) But anyway. I’m tired and cranky and house is a mess and there is a bag of moldy laundry fresh from Caribbean.
Now look at my featured image. See that screw? That lonely screw that looks like its missing its friends? I found that under the dining room table. Obviously I looked under the table- but no screws were missing. I looked under the chairs, turned them over, but alas- everything was intact. So where does the screw belong? Who knows. You see, we share our abode with a cat. A cat who sees things on the ground and bats them around. So the screw could literally belong to any piece of furniture in the house. From any room. I’ve been wandering around my small, sparsely furnished apartment in search of the hole where this screw belongs. And I can’t find it.
But never fear. I have a strong premonition that tonight, we will find out where the screw resides. You see, my Mother in law is coming over tonight- visiting from Florida. I’m sure she will sit on, or put something on, whatever this screw belongs to.
Please tune in tomorrow for the continuation……
Waking up on the Wrong Side of 50 
Oh, I know I shouldn’t, but I laughed. An I apologize. But… maybe it will be a painless discovery for the screw. Get some sleep today somehow! And I didn’t realize you were in Manhattan! We might be just around the corner from one another! LOL

I’ve experienced screws like this often…tables, chairs, bookcases, TV stands. Hope the mystery is solved without serious injury.

LOL. Hope Part 2 turns out just fine. Is MIL staying long? I like the quote, “Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.” I suspect though that three days might be too short a visit coming from Florida.. good luck with that 🙂

Why is it the mother-in-laws always find what’s wrong? I am a mother-in-law and trust me when I say, I’m not actively looking for things to be wrong. But I always find them.
