Thursday.....I mean Pre-Friday (Thanks Jennifer)

Yes, today is the formerly know Thursday, which is now know in my world as Pre-Friday!  One of my friends has had a particularly crappy week and has been wishing for Friday to get here all week.  She made a declaration that Thursday would now be considered "Pre-Friday".  I love it!  I am jumping on board and hoping that it will catch on. 

Thursday from September to May have been my favorite day since I discovered Mom's Day Out.  I love being able to drop my kids, or child at this point, off for five glorious hours of freedom.  Of course, I took on another babysitting gig and he is now enjoying the peace and quiet with me.  We actually just got done playing a round of peek-a-boo.  Now he is crawling around playing with random toys and books he finds. When I am done here, we will sing his favorite song, "The Grand Old Duke of York". 

Any who, I don't have much to say today so it's going to be random thoughts from me.  I will start with some funny things Sarah has said to me over the past couple of days. 

Yesterday we ran a couple of errands and when we got home I sat my keys on the island.  Sarah sighed, grabbed the keys and put them in the junk drawer while telling me I need to put them away so I don't lose them.  Really?  My three year thinks I am irresponsible?  Perhaps she has noticed that every other day I am ranting about not being able to find those very keys! Also I must say that I love that child because whenever I am unknowingly in her way, she'll say, "Move your little butt Mom!".  I haven't detected any sarcasm in her voice.  May be she is mocking me?  I couldn't say for sure but what I do know is my butt is not little! Hence, why I love her.

Scott is getting ready to go on a hunting trip to South Dakota.  Doesn't that sound like fun?  Driving a million miles to hunt Pheasant! WOOHOO!  Personally, I think it's dumb and a waste of money but he thinks it's stupid for me to drive 10 hours to hang out on the beach for 3 days.  We're even!  However, I am excited about him going.  Why?  Calm down, I am about to tell you.  For one thing, I love having the bed all to myself. I can sleep smack dab in the middle of the bed, all night, every night!  Another thing, I will have complete control of the television when the kids aren't around. Okay, I know, I know...I said, "When the kids aren't around".  I don't know why I let them rule the main t.v. when we have two other fully operational t.v.'s in the house, I just do.  Lastly, for 16 years of our marriage Scott was in the National Guard.  He was gone one weekend a month, two weeks a year, not to mention various deployments for extended periods of time.  I miss a little bit of freedom.  Which is not to say that I don't have a lot of that now but it's just different.  Don't judge me!

Oh and on a more exciting note, I am going out Saturday night with my sister and some friends to a place called Axis.  Axis is apparently a gay bar in the Short North.  How do I know this?  Why am I going? Well, I know this because my sister and I recently discovered we have a cousin who doubles as a drag queen on the weekends.  I say "discovered" because we didn't even know he existed until recently - our Dad's side of the family is large. For this reason, we don't know a lot of our extended family. That is until Facebook!  So my sister made contact with him and found out he lived right here in Columbus! There was a video of him doing a "show" and Tammy found out when his next  performance was and there you have it.  We are going to meet him and see the show.  I am excited!

That's all I got....boring stuff, I know! 

Sincerely,
The Queen of Insanity

  1. I love having the bed to myself....I often cross my fingers in hope that Jim will fall asleep in his chair and forget to come to bed. LOL
