Cloudy Days and Random Tuesday Thoughts
- The gentle pitter-patter of rain on my roof this morning made it that much harder for me to rise and greet the day. It was such a soothing sound and the muted sunlight was like an open invitation to stay in bed. Now, the six year old boy that snuck into my bed last night and spent all morning kicking me in the spine was somewhat less inviting. He was more like a cruel eviction - the kind where they don’t even put a notice up, just throw your clothes on the lawn and change the locks.
- I got even by making him go to school. (Insert evil laugh here.) The power of Mom.
- Alright I’m not really that tough, I let him stay home from Kindergarten yesterday because he was clutching his stomach and whining inconsolably. The whining conveniently ceased after I dropped both of his sisters off at school and he curled up with some chocolate milk on the sofa. He was all smiles after that. Although he was quick to point out, he wasn’t smiling because he pulled one over on me, he just smiles sometimes when he’s sick.
- I smile sometimes when 3/4 of my children are at school, and 1/4 are napping.
- I’m so hungry right now, except I want to eat something delicious and everything in my kitchen is lame. A lame sandwich, or some lame leftovers, or possibly a lame can of soup. It almost makes me not want to eat except for the way my stomach lining is currently trying to devour itself.
- Someone ate the last Fiber One bar in my pantry, but left the box on the shelf so that when I opened the door and got excited over munching on a sweet caramel concoction, I was rudely disappointed when I reached in and found nothing but cardboard and space. Somewhere one if my kids is having a good laugh at my expense. They’re probably boasting some significant regularity too.
- Yesterday my tween was watching Charlie Unicorn on her computer. For those of you unfamiliar, here’s a little taste of his bizarre slightly insane randomness. I warn you, it might be a tad annoying…I don’t expect it will make me any less starving.
- Don’t watch unless you have 3 minutes and 46 seconds to completely waste.
- Also, it may offend you if you have an aversion to using organ harvesting as a comedic tool.

I did watch the video. I can’t say much for Charlie’s friends, leading him into the cave like that, but perhaps I’m just older than the target age. (grin)
Hehe, I don’t have kids but I do have a husband. And if he finishes the coco puffs one more time and leaves an empty box on top of the fridge I’m gonna be a widow.
Great randomness today!!!! The rain is a curse. I hate it when it rains during the week because I can’t stay in bed to enjoy the calming sound and blessed darkness, and I hate it on the weekend because it cramps my style. For the record, it also tried to lull me back to sleep this morning. Stupid responsibilities.
