Total Randomness

First of all, I would like to thank so many of you who offered me the use of your credit cards yesterday. I almost took all of you up on it. I figured if I spent fifty dollars on one......fifty dollars on another....and so forth, none of you would even notice! The SM put a stop to all of my plans by giving me one of his credit cards he uses when he travels. I should be grateful because now Levi's diapers are well on their way from Alaska but quite frankly you all told me I could buy what ever necessities I needed on yours! And I had a lot of necessities I was planning on purchasing that The SM won't let me get on his card. I feel so misunderstood sometimes......

Second, remember this friend of mine? He doesn't know he's my friend, in fact, he doesn't know me at all but, "I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy." Sorry.......I digress. Any way, I haven't seen my friend out and about all winter and guess what? He was out and about yesterday in his orange vest and it made me smile to see him. I felt like I'd seen a spring flower after a long cold grey winter. A masculine flower of course.

Third, I'm fighting with a plunger today. Feelings want to over flow but I'm madly taking a plunger and plunging them down only here's the problem. I've spent all my life building walls and shoving the emotions down and I thought it probably would be healthy if I acknowledged emotions and let them flow.......in a healthy way ya know? Excepting today, the emotions are over self pitty and feelings of self worth that aren't all that high at the moment so those emotions should be plunged and shoved right back where they come from right? It solves nothing. Repeat after me: I am of worth......I am of worth........regardless of the fact that I do nothing all day and everyone in this what used to be an immaculate run like clock work household is falling to pieces because I sit and do nothing all day and everyone else is running ragged to try and do everything.....except for me.......yeah. Totally taking a plunger and fighting....yet again.......Having a chronic illness sucks. Can I say that? Washing mouth out with soap now.......

Fourth, My baby girl hates oatmeal. So much so that she missed two days of school last week because she refused to eat her breakfast so sat there staring at it all day. Yesterday, her teacher gave the kids a spelling test.

Teacher: This word is for Miss K. The word is, oatmeal. Oatmeal is yummy for breakfast especially on a cold winter morning.

Miss K: (rolls her eyes) It is NOT!

(several words later)

Teacher: Groans

Miss K's friend: Miss K groans when her mom makes oatmeal for breakfast!

Fifth, I am learning to knit socks. I have decided and therefore make it mandatory that socks have holes in them.

Sixth, I was going to buy chickens this year so I could have fresh eggs everyday but I just noticed that my neighbor bought some. I'm going to tell her that when she goes out to get her eggs every morning and the nests are empty, not to be alarmed. This is normal and to keep feeding her chickens....and cleaning up after them.

Seventh, My baby can't say strawberry. He says, "I want strawbelly jam on my bwead." I hope he doesn't ever learn to say strawberry.

Eighth, Washing my sheets and hanging them out to dry on the clothes line is one of my very favorite things in the world. Well, not the washing and hanging part. The part where I slip between the sheets at the end of the day and I can smell their fresh crips goodness. I'm ready for spring.

Ninth, The SM is working from home today. I love it when The SM works from home. I'm gonna go and bug him now and make him tell me how me not contributing to our household is still contributing. I make him do this from time to time. It's good for him to be reminded of my purpose and self worth.
