My friend Allison does a great job posting her Random Thoughts Thursday, so I am going to give it a try... I may never have anyone read my blog again (I often sanitize my brain dumps, believe it or not!) but here goes nothing... I mean, after all, I am nothing if not Random, right?
***********
Why is it my kids can't get along when they are doing stuff I need them to do but when they are doing stuff I would rather they NOT do, they get along famously? And if they are getting along, it must be at the highest possible volume, guaranteed to split ear drums.
For someone who does not have a paying job, I have a lot of work on my plate.
Why is every reference I know related to food? Slower than molasses... work on my plate... And since we are talking about food, how come whenever I gain weight or stay the same, more people compliment me on how much weight I have lost?
I am convinced laundry leaves the main level of my house for the basement and mates... and they send my socks to boarding school... We have way to much laundry for a house with three kids who wear uniforms and pajamas all school year and swimsuits all summer.
The grass is always greener in someone else's yard. No, literally. I refuse to water my grass in Oregon. It rains 9 months out of the year here -the grass always comes back nice and green by November, so why bother?
Sometimes, I wander my house when everyone is asleep. I used to think it was because I couldn't sleep but now I think its because it's the only time the house is quiet. Well, it used to be until we got that second cat...
I am 7 years from 50. This was not nearly as alarming as I thought it was.... until my kids said, "you are really old mom!" I think I have been in denial.... And suddenly I feel like I am aging rapidly... It's the kids... I turn 50 the same year my 10 year old graduates from high school and my 8 year old gets her learners permit. I am sure this is no accident on God's part.
Most of the people who are my closest friends now I met because of a medical condition or through a website.

Ok, that's enough for now! I have a whole bunch of blog ideas I am working on so I will get back to those for now... Happy Thursday! And let me know if I should keep doing the randomness. Oh -and go check out Allison's blog too by clicking the link above.... Have a great Thursday!
Thanks for playing along! I love reading other people's random thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI am SO with you on the kids getting along thing! Maybe I should just tell them that under no circumstances do I want them having fun together. Do you think that would do the trick?
Probably not.
