The Week in a Glimpse

One particular event this week was insignificant in of itself, but basically sums up our week at the Thompson household in a nutshell. I left for work- relieved it was Friday and determined to make the most out of the day. When I got out of the car that morning I looked down and noticed that the whole front of my pants were a red, sopping wet mess (I was wearing khakis, so they most definitely shouldn't have been red). I look in my lunch bag and the Tupperware lid of the lentil bean stew had come off and the stew had dumped in the bag and was leaking through. I went to my classroom and tried to scrub what I could off of me - the pants didn't look too bad, but I spent my entire day smelling like garlic and onion (just what everybody wishes they could smell like). I know I don't need to tell you this, but it was gross. I also had to go down to breakfast duty with extremely wet pants.
When I later looked at the Tupperware I noticed that the lid didn't even match the container. I was half asleep when I assembled it, so I couldn't begin to tell you why I did that. I don't know if the moral of the story is that you should only keep matching Tupperware in the house or that there's a reason no one has come out with a perfume using Onion and Garlic (they could call it "Garnion"- it sounds French enough for a perfume), but for some reason life wouldn't be life without these random, slightly irritating experiences. I'm sure they are for our growth, and one day it will all be funny, but right now it feels more like when you cut into an onion - you just cry. :)
