Lonely Lid

I woke up thinking, today will be a good day.  I have some things to do, Lindsay can play with Gunner or watch a movie and it will be a nice relaxing day.  I should have kept the shades down, the door locked and the covers over Lindsay and my heads.

It wasn't anything terrible, it honestly sounds really stupid, but I'm still really frustrated!  I had a beautiful purple pyrex 9 X 13 baking dish.  It is now in millions of pieces in the trash.  Yes, thank you Lindsay.  I don't know why children don't listen.  I understand she is two, but that is old enough to listen and follow directions.  She still needs reminders here and there, but the basic "don't touch" should be a piece of cake.

Lindsay was sitting at the counter with her yogurt.  I went to my room to put some clothes away.  I heard a noise that wasn't of the yogurt eating kind.  I immediately said, eat your yogurt, don't touch anything else.  As I finished putting my stuff away I heard the fateful CRASH!!  I had no idea what could have fallen and broken.  I found my dish broken and scattered everywhere in the kitchen.  The main pile of glass was stuck together with what was left of the lemon bars.  Not only was there glass to clean, there was sticky glass to clean!  Not really what I had in mind for the day.

Like I stated earlier, it sounds stupid, but I'm really upset about losing my favorite dish.  Maybe hormones has a huge role to play in this whole incident.  I think that I should have washed it last night or first thing this morning, but I am so physically exhausted that I probably would have broken it myself.  I'm mad at myself for being mad at Lindsay, what does that really accomplish?  And honestly, I can't be mad at her for long.  She is too cute and those blue eyes just melt me!  The round little cheeks don't help either.

So here I am left with a purple plastic lid in remembrance of my favorite dish.  I'm not exactly sure what I should do with it yet.  I will probably put it away, but maybe I need to frame it and hang it on the wall.  It could be a good reminder that even though things fall apart, there is always something left to move on with.  Or that I shouldn't get so mad and frustrated at things that are well beyond my control.

I did send an email to Pyrex to let them know they need to start selling my prized bakeware again.  They only have boring, old, regular bakeware and that doesn't excite me the same way.  There are some 9 X 13 purple pyrex on Ebay, but good heavens, the shipping is more than the product itself!  I'll just have to take the money from Lindsay future allowance and buy a replacement.  Hopefully Pyrex will take pity on this poor, fat, hormonal pregnant lady and start making more purple bakeware... I will buy plenty of back-ups then!

And hello, isn't purple the color of the season?!
