Midweek rambles


  • still scratching our heads over the son who's a bit muzzy-headed himself
  • he's still under house arrest/grounding/whateveryouwannacallit, but the next step has yet to show itself
  • we're confused
  • tired of talking
  • i read my previous post, while full of parental wisdom, is a bit more of a challenge
  • what was i thinking?
  • needing a vacation from the worries of parenthood
  • in other news...
  • question...what do you do about a situation when you're paid too generously for a job and don't feel right about accepting it?
  • some of the kids and i helped someone, and they paid way too much for our services
  • what's your first instinct?
  • we didn't realize it until we were headed home and opened the check
  • wowza
  • thinking i'll take tomorrow OFF
  • yeah, we'll do schoolwork, but i need to shut off my brain
  • gary laughs at me when he has a heckuva time getting to sleep
  • i'll climb into bed, turn over and, click, i'm in lala land
  • he's jealous, but at least grins and shakes his head
  • see, he has this brain that goes into overdrive once he hits the bed
  • me, not so much
  • i'm thinking my body and head are so exhausted at the end of the day, that escape is the best option
  • running away from home is option #2
  • asked second son, who's got an apartment now, if on the nights he sleeps here (about once a week), we can treat his place as a sort of beach house
  • no, it's not on the beach, but i have a pretty lively imagination
  • he said no
  • shoot, i was thinking i'd gotten him at a weak moment, and he'd agree
  • huh
  • well, anyway...think i'll wander off and read or something
  • sadly won't be going to the beach
