At Random

My thoughts are scattered.














They appear random much like this photo. It's not really a picture of Abby. Not really a picture of the bottle or container of watermelon. Not even really a picture but more of a snippet in time of things that were going on just then (apparently we were expecting an important phonecall and newsflash: Grayson still doesn't eat the crust.)

Hoped I could shake these random thoughts linear before sitting down to type but no such luck.

Therefore, no choice but to share the flowchart that is my brain. I will warn you that unless we've met in person and have carried on multiple face-to-face conversations where you can hear my tangents coming from miles away in my eyes that are reading your mouth instead of looking into your eyes, you probably won't be able to follow this. If you can and we haven't? Consider yourself my soulmate.

This Morning's Frontal Lobe & Emotions:
Out running errands and time for a pick me up: Starbucks Drive-Thru where I can go decaf but still latte-----> mmmmm....roasted coffee beans -----> What? Artisan plates with grapes, cheese slices, wheat bagel and peanut butter - all yay - SO much healthier than You Know Who's Happy Meals and finally no more useless plastic toys in the recycle bin!= Overjoyed

Later in the day after nobody naps: Pool not Crowded ---->Chat w/Pool Manager ------>Register Grayson up for swim lessons on the spot ----> 8:30 am & we're not morning people ------> Holy crap, what did I just do?= Scared

This Afternoon's Parietal Lobe & Perception:
Still at pool and having pool thoughts: Lots of twentysomethings with toddlers here at the pool today---->All staring at their blackberries---->Probably not catching up on the latest CNN headlines.-----> Not one of them being referred to as "Mom" or "Mommy" or even "Aunt Sue"-----> They're all nannies!! = Pride in myself for rocking the SAHMness which appears to be a dying profession.

(Later) This afternoon's Occipital Lobe & Visual Processing:
Home now and moving slower than what should be humanly possibly: Hey, what's that on the kitchen floor? I just cleaned that floor ----> Abby's not wearing a diaper----> She is squatting weird -----> Wow, that sure isn't chocolate = Early Bathtime & Self Flogging

All Day Long- Temporal Lobe & Memory:
Mental Checklist: Buy milk & don't I dare forget brownies----> check.
Find sporting good's store from memory and not GPS ----> check.
New shoes for the kids ----> imminent future check. (order online tonight b/c above store did not carry kids' sizes.)
Find Grayson's sunglasses ----> oooh, already did that, they were in stroller. retro check.
Water flowers that aren't dead yet by some miracle of the heavens---> checka one two.
Deposit $, Balance $, Save $-----> check, check, and working on that last check.
Change Snapper's ooey gooey tank ----> checka checka checkaaah.
Feed everybody INCLUDING myself which has been a real problem as of late---> checkity check check (see above about brownies and milk).
Fold warm laundry before cold permanent creases make me insane with regret & an inability to micromanage myself down to the nanosecond----> c.h.e.c.k.
Speaking of wrinkles, call landlord to "iron out" (too cute? sorry.) AC situation once and for all, amen to that, can I get a witness? ----> checkahhhhhhh(vibratoooo0)aahhhhh check!
Drop off husband's uniforms at dry cleaners ----> check'ers.
Husband - CRAP! - husband bday is tomorrow & I forgot a card (we don't exchange gifts on bdays but cards are a must)----> check minus minus minus.

Overall Cerebellum & Life Balance:
TILT! TILT! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!
