It's Tuesday, 1:37 in the afternoon and my mind is overflowing with so many random thoughts. I ususally write with a particular theme, kid, event or happenstance in mind, but every now and then I just have to let all the little thinking ants crawl out of my mind onto this blog.
1. I paid the bills today. As I commented on Facebook, doesn't it just seem easier to breathe once the final check has been sent and the bill folder isn't an inch thick anymore? I seem to have more patience with my babies, my husband, and am in an overall better mood. So what that there's not much left in the bank account...I'm just glad the lights, water and cable are still on.
2. My husband dropped by my office. Larry brought me his leftover pizza from the lunch he had with my dad. Larry and my dad are like two peas in a pod. And I'm NEVER right in any argument Larry and I may have. I think my dad secretly loves Larry more than me. Of course, he'd never admit to that, but I sure do think that sometimes.
3. My son should be an actor. My Angel came home from a fun-filled weekend of 24/7 swimming, movies, and late nights at Grandma Silvia's house yesterday. He had All Star practice at 5:00 (to which he was late) and that was the LAST place he wanted to be. So what did the boy do? "I have a headache, my tummy hurts, I think I'm gonna throw up..." What was my caring and compassionate, loving husband's response? "Suck it up, boy, you had your fun and now it's time to work!" He is the coach, afterall. Needless to say, Angel made it through practice and eventually smiles and laughter broke through, but when he came home all the pains and woes came flooding back to him. When he walked through the door he had one hand on his forehead and the other on his stomach, kind of bent over with his eyes almost squinting shut, trying to force out a single tear. He glanced into the living room to make sure I saw him in his agony. I called him over to me, hugged him and said I missed him and then told him since he didn't feel well I thought he should take a nice, hot shower and then go to bed. His eyes bugged out and he said, "Bed? It's only 7:30!!" Yep, bed. I think Angel was tired from the weekend and cousin Daniel came to stay at our house for the week and Angel wanted to stay home and play - not go to practice. I almost went out and bought a fake little award because that acting was superb!
4. My birthday is Saturday. Yes, another year and, thank God, no gray hairs yet! I'm going to be 37 and, actually, I really don't have any feelings about that. Three years from 40, I guess. Now when I turn 40 I will throw the biggest party FOR MYSELF! I'm looking forward to 40. I've heard that you are your true self when you reach 40. For now, I'm just going to enjoy being 37 and work on the goals I set for myself to accomplish before I reach 40. I can't tell you what they are because then you can hold me to them. LOL Only Larry knows. And I think there's a few that HE doesn't even know. Anyways, what do I want for my birthday? I couldn't think of one thing that I don't already have that would make my life more wonderful. Don't get me wrong, I'd take some cash in a minute, but really, I am very content with all I have and in all honestly, I should get rid of some stuff for my birthday. All I asked for is a round, three layer chocolate cake with one candle in the center. I have my husband whom I love with every fiber of my being, my children who are the lights of my life and my family and friends who love me unconditionally and support me. What more is there to want?
So there. Those are my random Tuesday thoughts. My lunch is over and I have lots to get done before quittin' time so ...Have a good Tuesday!
