Brain Worms

by Leslie

I’ve been bitching around about how little time I’ve had to write, lately. Now, I finally have a chance (translation: the kids are asleep and before I could collapse into bed, I ingested enough caffeine to fuel the space shuttle) and my brain has begun to eat itself while I sit here drooling on my keyboard.

“What happened to all those great ideas I had before?” I ask myself.

“Buuuuurrrrp,” says my brain.

Oh yeah.

But rather than waste the twenty minutes I have left before I crash doing something like housework or sudoku, here are the crumbs that are left after the brainfeast.

I want to tell you all about my new puppy Lola. I’ve got stories, people. I’m telling you. Stories! (Psst. Remind me of this if I start whining that I have nothing to write about.)

There are twenty-six reasons I should hate the song This Girl Is A Woman Now by Gary Puckett and The Union Gap. But I don’t. I can’t. Instead, I throw my arms open and sing it out, straight from my heart. Oh, Gary Puckett. I’ve found out what it’s all about and I’m learning, yes, I’m learning. Learning! Learning to live.

I had a dream about Rick Springfield last night. He had joined The Wiggles. Somehow, this made him even more attractive to me. So, I had become some sort of groupie trying to get me some hot Springfield ass. Which I did. Because I’m super-sexy and a bit slutty in my dreams. Then, I spent the rest of the dream trying to hide it from my husband. Interpret that one, psychic friends!

I won’t put Lucy in a baby swing to be soothed. I feel like she should be soothed by a human being when she needs that kind of attention rather than a robot. Dave says baby swings aren’t robots. And I say, “That’s what they want you to think.”

Dave and I spent the ride home from T-ball last night re-writing the words to Loverboy’s Working For The Weekend to express our feelings about mowing the grass, which I’ve written about before. I think we’re gonna have to make a video. Maybe this weekend.

It sounds like videomaking might be a good break for everyone. Especially if Lola is romping - she’s one cute pup!

#4 absolutely cracked me up. And I agree. With you - point to Leslie.

Awww - swings are handy! As long as they aren’t over used. Jaxon was never a clingy baby and really needed his down time. Sometimes he would only calm down in the swing. Hold him - fussy, put him in the swing - calm and off to sleep within minutes. But every baby is different of course and CERTAINLY the swing should not be overly used a substitute for being held! I also found it handy though if I needed to take a bath or cook. I would just set the swing (and later the excersaucer) next to me so he could watch me while I did what needed to be done. Slings are handy but not practical when working over the stove or taking a bath!

Baby swings aren’t for soothing the babies, they’re for soothing the mommies. Let yourself relax a little - especially if it brings the Loverboy tribute video sooner.

I dreamt that I stuck my finger up Cleatus’s butt the other night. And then I told him that the next time we do it, I’m gonna do that. He’s now too scared to have sex with me. Which, really, that’s what I was going for.

Also? Baby swings? They are goooood, man. Yeah, humans are nice too, but sometimes you just need the swing.

If you need to delete this comment due to the finger up the butt statement, go ahead. I understand.

Thank you for not deleting the “finger up the butt” comment. It made my day!

Your Rick Springfield dream was hilarious. I think we’ve all done that minus the rick springfield & the wiggles. I can’t think about sex and the wiggles at the same time.

Dude, I’ve been having sexy dreams lately, too. I’m guessing it’s all the hormones. But my fake, dreaming self has been making out with ALL SORTS of people… celebs and high school people alike.

I love Working for the Weekend… I’d love to see a new video!

Rick Springfield joins the Wiggles? You funny woman.

And again, *SNORT*!!
Anyone who joins the wiggles is immediately escalated to god status around here…just sayin’.

Swinging is good. Have you read Happiest Baby on The Block? 5 S’s=best. baby. advice. ever.

So much to say and so little space. Great post!
