Random Musings

I don’t have one thought that’s worth writing a post about, so I’m going to write a post about a few various thoughts (which aren’t worth posting about). Yeah. It’s been that kind of week.

Random thought #1: Sammy had a cold over the weekend and in the process he forgot how to sleep. His head cold is all better now, but his sleeping habits? Not so much. He’s decided he prefers to sleep while being held and rocked in the rocking chair, as opposed to his bed. Holding and rocking him is really lovely. But not all night. So. None of us have been getting much sleep and it’s about been the death of me. Andy took one for the team last night and handled it all, because I was just out. Out so hard that this morning I wondered if I had taken Tylenol PM without remembering I had done so. Anyway, Sammy needs a hard-core crash course in learning how to sleep again, but because his new favorite thing to say from his crib is “Mommy! I neeeeeeed you!” I am finding that easier said than done.

Random thought #2: Yesterday I heard a podcast about a new trend called “sex-ercising.” Apparently pole dancing classes and the like are all the rage. They even have private group classes, who knew? So I tweeted to the #bigdealmoms that I know what our next outing will be. With the exception of Andrea saying she was game (shocker!), all I heard was crickets. I hope they realize I was kidding, because, you know, have they met me? I won’t even karaoke! And I have a life policy against dancing. Of any variety! Especially that variety.

Random thought #3: Last Sunday I got a wild hair and decided it was time to get my house spic and span. I googled “spring cleaning” and printed out Martha’s checklist. I started with the kitchen – I took down the curtains and washed them, scrubbed the walls, the ceiling and the floor, and cleaned the cabinets and the woodwork. And when I was done? Well, there were still dishes in the sink and you couldn’t really tell I had done anything. But I felt I had accomplished something, even if no one will ever know. The rest of the house is on tap for this weekend.

Random thought #4: I am a sucky mom and totally missed t-ball sign ups. Kate really wants to play and I really want to get her registered, but for the name of whomever runs the little league in our town is a CIA-level secret or something because no one seems to know and I have no idea who to call. So, if any G-town people happen to be reading this and know who I can bribe to get my kid on a t-ball team, please let me know!

Random thought #5: I need a good book to read. I’m just about finished with “Not Without My Daughter” (yes 1990 called and wants its book back, I know) and now I need something else to read, specifically something I can listen to in the car. Because I’m pretty sure the Bob and Tom show is rotting my brain. Any suggestions?

Random thought #6: Speaking of rotten brains, I think I can speak for Jenny here when I say that it seems we’ve both been in a bit of a blogging funk this week. In case you couldn’t tell. Which I’m sure you could. However, Mommin It Up is going through a metamorphosis this weekend, so with any luck we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled neurotic selves by Monday.

That is all.
