I suppose a new post is in order. We're going random today. Woke up at 7am again. Just like the rest of the week. That's very early. I've been going to bed by midnight. Wow. Last night I was asleep by 10 something. I got sleeeep. Unusual. I saw something in my new Woman's Day magazine that may have helped me. It's for people who's brain won't shut off when trying to sleep. You're supposed to imagine the various thoughts on a chalkboard and erase them. Well, that didn't work that well, but trying to visualize that made the thoughts stop.
Went to Judy's blog yesterday. She was having a 'Oh, Woe Is Me' moment. That's not unusual for women, in my opinion. We have to have these once in a while. Usually when everything is going good. You worry over it, because you know what it's like not to be going good and you don't want to lose it. Hey, it's better to get it out than keep it in. It comes out whether you want it to or not. You can choose how it comes out. Have your 'woe is me' moment and cry for a bit, feel better later. Or, you wait and something triggers it and you just explode. You lash out and it isn't pretty. Crying is cleansing, don't knock it. I think this is what confuses men most about us women. Our need to cry, and inability to make them understand why we are crying. That's ok, we are 'mysterious'. Ha! Not really, women are simple creatures. We just seem mysterious, because we will tell them what we need and they don't understand so they don't 'hear' it. That's what makes us different.
I was watching Margaret Cho the other night trying to fall asleep. She's funny, I like her. She was talking about a guy who didn't understand why she wanted to come and he was whining he was left out. A man, the windblows and they're close. A woman, takes a bit more. We cannot detach our thoughts and emotions. You don't have to be 'feminine' to need a little more. It doesn't take me more than 2 minutes, but you have to KEEP MOVING your freaking hand. I mean come on, you know that when you are getting off, you must keep moving, why would it be any different for us. I am a simple creature, don't stop. That wiggle thing, what is that? I need movement, not wiggle. So close, yet AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!! Sucks, working on it, trying to make sure not to deflate the ego and hurt feelings. That is the one thing I hate about porn movies. Guys get ideas from those. Um, hello! They are made by men for men, with men's ideas about what a woman wants/needs. No, that doesn't work on a real woman, and yes, she's faking it. In general I don't mind a porn movie, I just wish I could find one with a storyline. Yeah, I know it's porn and I'm expecting too much of it. A girl can dream, can't she?
My monsters are currently interested in the fish tank. We have one fish in it. Apparently they think it wants their toys, silverware, and paper. There's a sock in there now. They still don't take their nap when they're supposed to, but they do sleep anyway. We've been 'drawing'. For a 4yr and 2yr that pretty much means scribble. Mikel does make H's and A's. However, trying to get him to write any letter of the alphabet is like pulling teeth. He just won't try. He 'connected the dots' last night, traced some circles. Steven calls it daw daw. For a kid who wouldn't talk at 2yrs, he sure is talking now. Straws are on the refrigerator: staw up, staw up. I have that monkey from v-day it plays some music of course. Mokey up mokey up. He gets really excited and pushes that button and shakes his whole body, trying to imitate the dancing monkey. Mikel still says we left woody at the store. There isn't another holiday until xmas. Maybe he'll outgrow that. Easter is coming up, we hit the after easter sales last year. We have all we need for this year. I think we might try coloring eggs this year. We tried last year, but Mikel got bored. I have a glitter egg coloring kit, maybe he'll draw then I'll dye. That could be interesting. He'll scribble on a card I make in a week and a half. His daddy's bday soon. For a few weeks he'll be 10yrs older than me instead of 9. It's funny, when he's clean shaven he still gets carded for cigarettes and beer. He'll be 37.
I'm still reading my 3 books. This time I'm going slower, trying not to miss anything. The third reading is showing little hints I missed. I'll be ready to do my book report soon. I need a romance novel. I switched my booklist around. Zooba will be sending me a 3book collection by Nora Roberts, I think. She's really good at the racy parts. It's due to be shipped next week, I'll have it by the end of march.
Well, I think that's the end of my randomness. Have fun. |
