I am surrounded by kids all day long. Don't get me wrong, it's what I want, but sometimes I have stuff to say and the only people around are crawling around drooling, playing with Bakugans, or throwing pre-teen tantrums. So listen up people, you just became my sounding board.
I did a whole bunch of laundry today...and I really mean a WHOLE bunch. Tonight when I blew my nose (yes, I looked) all I blew was lint. No kidding.
There seems to be a new fad evolving in this country. Everyone just loves to do interventions. It used to be that these were done only for some type of addiction, but now they do it for everything. For example, have you seen that TLC show "What Not to Wear?" It's pretty much awful. They surprise-attack some poorly dressed, unsuspecting frump. Then they make fun of her as they go through all her awful clothes and then make it all better by giving her a makeover and a couple thousand dollars to get new clothes. I know it sounds entertaining, but I think it's awful!
I have polygamy hair. Really. When I have a baby, my hair falls out. Now that little P is a year old, it's grown back and is about 3 inches long. Sadly, I have all this little hair around the edges of my head. Remember in the 80's how people would shave their head in a 2" strip just above their neck? Well it looks like I did that all over my head. It's so ridiculous. Anyway, last night while watching a movie with Vinny, I french braided my hair. As I looked in the mirror before bed, I noticed that all the little hair fluffing all around my head combined with the french braid made me look a whooooole lot like a polygamist. Now all I need is a really long dress and some new Keds. Oh...and a few "sister-wives."
It has recently come to my attention that there are people in life that I care sooo much about, and they don't care that much about me. Does anyone ever feel like this? I know this sounds stupid, but it's a new concept for me. I lost contact with two of these people years ago and recently just tracked them down. Now I know that I am super spectacular, and honestly, who would not want to be my BFF? Apparently these two, cuz although they were glad to hear from me, it became apparent that I did not have the same impact on their lives that they had had on mine. That's ok I guess. I mean we all have people who are sent to us to help us through hard times, but the fact that I did not mean as much to them as the did to me has been sad to realize.
Last week I bought a HUGE pencil with a HUGE pencil sharpener. I said it was for the kids, but I really, really love it and wish I could take it to the grocery store to write my checks. Seriously, it's soooo beautiful!
Well that's what is on my mind this morning. Thanks for listening. I better get back to my crawling drooler, Bakugan player, and pre-teen fit thrower.

sometimes i keep tim up til two in the morning telling him all the things i wanted to say all day but was surrounded by kids who wouldn't understand...i hate doing laundry all day:)
everybody is going to want to know who those two "friends" are to make sure it's not them you are talking about...so who are they??
really? nothing about edward. huh.
I ♥ you!
I'm so proud to call you one of my very best friends and most awesome sister in law.
I totally get it. I have always felt like I care more about some people than they care about me... even my own mother.
I'm here to lend an ear anytime... I am after all the queen of ranting myself.
I'm feeling the need for a night out. Soon!!!
♥♥♥
Yeah I know. I talk to Cody all day long, or just stay on the computer pretending I have a social life....I didn't have this as bad in Boise but living in a new town is rough. Ps after I had Cody I lost some hair but mainly it just felt like it had crisco in it.
You are cracking me up about poligomy hair. How do you even spell that? I use a term I like to call "mish". As in, "let's comb the girls' hair today and change their clothes so they don't look mish". (missionary).
Uh oh. I happen to really love that TLC show. Even though I think the 5000 dollars could go to something more useful. Like feeding a small country.
I hear you on the friend thing. I've had that happen to me several times. It's hurtful and confusing. Just keep being the great friend you are!!
You are so hilarious! I am sad that Twilight was not mentioned in your random thoughts...Come on Megan!
Isn't it funny how our minds work? You can be thinking one thing one minute and onto something else the next minute.
I actually love What Not to Wear. I mean those people featured on that show generally have some serious dressing issues--hoochie dressing, wearing things three sizes too big, etc. It's fun to see them find some self confidence when they discover how beautiful they really are. Although I have noticed that generally that show layers every single outfit and that is much too hot to work for me.
Sorry about the friend realization, but I can sleep soundly at night knowing that I found you and not vice versa, so I know it's not me!
I think you're hilarious and sweet, so anyone who doesn't get that is missing out. And generally I've discovered that I don't usually know the whole story when I start making assumptions without knowing the whole situation. You never know what may be going on in these peoples' lives.
