Missing the Partridge and the Pear Tree

I looked around my car this morning and thought, “What a bizarre bunch of crap I have in here.”

If I were to get in my husband’s car, it would have seating for five and an umbrella.

Me?

Wow.

So here you go, the run down of the weird and whacky, that is currently being stored in the asexual mom-mobile, this day, 4 November.

1. Voter’s Registration Card

2. Sunscreen

3. Advil

4. Two empty bottles of water. (In my defense, one is from today.)

5. One Trigonometry book with five pages of notes

6. One HP calculator for when I’m tutoring Trig.

7. One empty Halloween bucket, black plastic, shaped as a cauldron. (They used my vehicle for Trick or Treating.)

8. One trombone, music and stand.

9. One squeeze bottle of Aquaphor, used to lube my feet before training to prevent chafing and blisters. (Eight+ miles is a long way to put on your feet…)

10. Two half eaten bags of Sports Beans, one with caffeine and one without. (I can’t eat two full bags when I refuel during training… blech.)

11. One ace bandage for wrapping my ankle.

12. One ice bag from this morning, as I ice my tendons (left leg) while driving the kids to school. Multi-tasking as an athlete…

13. One small cooler for ice when I train… icing must occur immediately after stretching.

14. One sweatshirt in case it is cold at the 530AM training.

15. Four books for casual reading. (Two are mine… two are my eldest’s)

16. School checkbook

17. A DS… just in case there was a long line for voting.

18. Boys’ random clothing… I don’t know why. Bonus... no underwear or smelly socks.

19. An article entitled, “Understanding Iran” by Michael Ledeen. Interesting if you get a chance…

20. Various road maps, AL, TN, GA.

21. One umbrella

22. A bill for my property tax.

Time for me to clean it out… and pay my taxes. Dammit.

I don't even want to think about all of the crap in my car - but today would be a good day to clean it out. We are supposed to get snow over the weekend... Bleh.
