A Pita-bird

What you may ask is a "pita-bird"? I'd ask too. In fact I did. My son kept pointing to trucks this morning telling me to look at the pita-bird. After asking for clarification several times I finally got an answer that made sense to me. A pita-bird is a Peterbilt. As in a Peterbilt truck http://www.peterbilt.com/ He knows about Peterbilts from the Cars DVD in our house. Which we watched incessantly immediately following Christmas. Its a little better now - once a week or so it is played over and over again.

And its about my mom car. Once upon a time I promised myself I'd never have a mom-car. You know the kind; toys all over the place, crumbs from goldfish crackers that were consumed in the last calendar year still on the seats, empty water bottles and extra clothing cluttering the floor. I have failed. There are endless trails of food particles strewn across the seats, plastic straw from the Easter craft at son's nursery school still on the back seat floor, four toys cars, one book, a butterfly craft hanging from the rearview mirror and more water bottles in various states of empty than I care to admit. There must be a self help book for this. But then again - I'd probably lose it under the seat. Maybe for mothers day I'll ask for a car detailing.

I hear you on the car thing. We actually had to move the back seats forward recently (following a nasty strawberry milk episode) and it was amazing what we found...fruit snacks, heads off of barbies, cheerios, etc etc.
