blather
Yea! – I have the first line for my Nanowrimo book – gotta start somewhere!
It was a dark and stormy night. - Just kidding!

Have you ever untangled a slinky? Talk about needing patience. And for whatever reason my kids thrill in wadding the dern thing up.

It makes you wonder about me though. I can sit and untangle any of their toys, shoelaces, game system cords - and do it often and remain calm. But put my in other situations and I turn into my mother who is turning into her mother (sorry - you know I love ya mom!) I have never driven to three different grocery stores because they are too crowded - total lack of patience (and remember, mom - I said I love ya!)

Well Damn - I broke my tooth eating Chinese food - who breaks their freaking tooth eating Chinese food - sheesh!

Not a cure for a headache - When you have a massive migrain don't take four children to Chuck E Cheese for a b-day party on a Sunday afternoon.
S'all I'm saying...

Note: take your lid off your drink BEFORE you take a sip - it helps.

I hate it when:
* * - The wireless goes out – dial-up sucks.
* * - The dog hawks on the carpet ... EW!
* * - The youngest is in need of major attention just when I get my rhythm in a new book – mmm-hmm.
* * - I go to the potty after one of the boys forgot to lift the seat. UGH!

I love it when:
* * - I chase the 4-y.o. around and catch him! TICKLEFEST!
* * - Sandy and I actually make it to lunch.
* * - C.C. is in town and Cece and I get tix!
* * - I remember to turn on media player (need my CC!) while I write – peps me up!

New Love:
Lemon honey black tea (that I make at home, Miss Sandy!)

Old Love:
soda – weaning myself (and don’t you know it, my jeans are hanging a tad bit looser!)

Why:
* * - does the hubby throw words back in my face – meanie!
* * - do the kiddos not hear you when spoken to directly but pick up every thing you have whispered two rooms away?
* * - did I try with valiant effort to watch the “Every Scooby Doo ever made" marathon on Boomerang that lasted 4 days?
* * - does that personal censor button work the least when you need it the most?
* * - does food taste better when you’ve hidden it from all the men in the house?
* * - Speaking of food – do kids eat weird sh@&?
* * - do I still preface everything with some form of explanation that lasts four times longer then the antic or happening itself that explains my weird sense of observations and/or commentary? (If you know me you know I am a little … odd)

I am a curious person. If I don’t know the answer to something, I want it! I have freaked more than one friend out with my questions. It doesn’t mean that I am allergic to eggs, like girls that way or have the slightest desire to commit the perfect murder. I just want to know.

What does it tell you when your computer gets e-mails for weight loss pills – is someone trying to tell me something?

Good thing no one can see me moving the laptop all over the desk trying to find a friggin’ signal. (but what do you expect with the WIFI/Searchy thingie?)

And lastly – why in the hell is the keyboard on the laptop and the wireless keyboard I have hooked up to it sticky – hmm – ew – hmm!

Hmmm...me thinks you'll go to just about any lengths to NOT BE WRITING. this post had to be at least another 500 works! Did you ever notice that NaNoWriMo, sounds like something that Mork from Ork would say!

My desk is clean - it's the 3 or 4 tray tables that encircle me that are cluttered. (and the bookcase, and 2 chairs and the floor...)
