Trash and Wheels

Well we went up to Seoul today, as is our usual Saturday activity when we don't know what else to do (even though we should do what the Ellisons do) and spend all our free time at Everland since we have the season passes just like they do-but of course being the very organized and put together mother that I am-I "thrifted" 3 out of the 4 passes that we have-now now before you totally stop reading this particular post because you can't imagine how anyone could be so stupid...I had put them in the pocket of a jogging stroller that we had that was almost brand new given to us by someone who'd used it like twice and then "gifted" to whoever wanted it...okay anyway well unless you have a gigonormous car that can fit a put together jogging stroller with its front wheel that streches to Pyongyang (capital of N. Korea) oh yeah...it's that long!! then you have to dismantle the front wheel and so we did so on one such fun family outing to Everland and on the way home Kyle found the front wheel to be a wonderful play toy...maybe he was pretending to drive in his car seat...who knows what goes through a 1 year olds mind to make a dismantled wheel become a play thing just as I have no idea why he finds garbage so appealing either...maybe us adults are just too "adultish" to enjoy the simple pleasures of life...such as garbage!! ANYWHO, stop blabbering Ruth, (though it's so hard for me to do) on the way home from this trip to Everland, Kyle found the wheel and began to play with it much to our contentment because he was content until we get home to find that he has somehow "misplaced" (more like chunked onto Destinee's head in the back seat while she was sleeping and never knew probably) the spring that attaches the wheel to the stroller...well we clean the car out looking for this microscopic little spring...much to our surprise (yeah right) to no avail and so therefore this makes the like new stroller useless....so we put it next to the Thrift Shop Donation bucket so that they can throw it away or whatever they want to do with it...just so I didn't have to throw away a perfectly good jogging stroller (or it would've been if well...you know) anyway and so days later we decide to go to Everland and cannot find the other three passes just in time to remember they were in the pocket of the stroller!! SO who knows where they are...well I'm pretty sure we ALL know where they are but nobody wants to admit that I could be that stupid!! :( Sad times!!

Actually, I would love to do something besides Everland...Tyler's quite enthralled with it. I want to see and do some other stuff for a change. Oh well, we've got a while I guess.
