Phew!! is that a question..
Usually this is the time for me to watch my reruns of Frasier or How I Met Your Mother or Will & Grace until I fall asleep, but I have decided I am going to do something different with this time, my time..
So far, for the first 30 minutes, all I have done is stare at the tv screen and try to think of dry hilarious humor (as if there is any other kind) and imagine how my blog will be such a hit that over night I will become a famous blogger and have to move to a big city and become the married mom version of Sara Jessica Parker..
Hmm..
If I keep this up, that WILL definitely NOT happen..
Today has just been one of those blah days. I am pretty sure you can count my thoughts on two hands. I woke up on the couch to the shrill of my son screaming at the top of his lungs as if he was on fire. I was pleasant enough considering I only got a few hours of solid sleep once my tiny two year old kicked me to the couch. I guess he needs a lot of space. He too was forced from a peaceful slumber at 7am. Today was Daddy T's first day saving the world one troubled child (or 10) at time. Only 30 short minutes of screaming and crying later, I figured I would take the opportunity to start the day off right with a cigarette and the Ellen Degeneres Show. I woke up at 9:28 late for work. O well, I had smoked my last cigarette on a detour to the couch and Ellen doesn't come on until 9.
Now, I know a lot of you are thinking.. "well, I know her problem. She lets her 2 year old son sleep in bed with her... " And to this I argue, 20 years ago breast feeding was a social NO NO too! Now look at all the bare breasted mommas in the park. Today if you don't breast fed you're a so called bad, careless Mom. In other "non-american" societies it is actually normal. It is believed to even help them sleep better, make your child feel safer and more protected, and feel loved! And now to address the Mommy Accidentally Rolling Over VS. SIDS debacle.. SIDS is actually more likely and more common than accidentally smooshing baby in your sleep. Fellow Mommies, I want you to know that I am NOT at all condemning babies sleeping in baby beds so please don't get heated over this blog (unless, of course, it prompts the ratings necessary to make it big by blog over night). Case in point; my son is beginning to transition to his own bed on his own and I am not one to mess with nature. However, this is not my problem.. not today, not any day.
Today my problem was an extremely exaggerated case of the Mondays. Symptoms include absent mindedness, absent gaze, absent expression, and in the rarer cases, absent motivation to do anything productive resulting in absolute unproductiv-ity and a hollow shell of a person until after 5pm that Monday evening.
