MyLitter - One Deal At A Time

Breath. Breath. Breath. Do not kill the child. Breath.

In order to fit all the Christmas items in the playroom and around the house, I had to rearrange some things. I took some of the bulkier things out of the kids playroom and set them on the driveway up by the garage. We have a VERY long driveway. I asked my husband when he had time (later in the day) if he would please put it all in the garage for the remainder of December and I would pull it back out in January.

The next morning I asked my son to make sure that the trash was taken down to the curb as I could hear the garbage truck on the street behind us.

A little while later I hear….

“Mom, why is that woman taking our dollhouse?”

I run to the window just in time to see a woman slam shut the back of her truck loaded with all my kids playroom items! She drives off as I am trying to get the front door open and run to the street.

I instantly knew what had happened.

My son, who at 13 has become, let’s say fairly lazy lately, actually decided to go the extra mile and haul EVERYTHING on the driveway down to the curb! This woman probably drove by and thought, “Holy cow, what a bunch of great stuff, I can’t believe that someone would throw it away…” and loaded it up.

I am still sick to my stomach! Not only are all my storage drawers gone, but my girls wooden Melissa and Doug dollhouse castle, that they play with EVERY DAY, all day long, plus a number of other precious toys.

I really have not gotten an answer from him, as to why in the world he would EVER think we would throw away that stuff. I am new to this teenager stuff, maybe they really are brain dead?!

P.S. I paid way over $100 for the castle, it is currently $54 on Amazon today, I paid the $3.99 extra to have it here by Christmas. I am a sucker for 4 crying little girls! BTW my son offered me some money when he saw that I had ordered it. I have almost forgiven him 🙂
