Here is what has been running through my mind lately.....
*I love my children, but I hate watching them play Kinnect video games. Or any video games. Video games are just not my thing. Nor is watching tv. I can handle a movie....occasionally (although I have rarely finished a movie with the kids because someone always needs something during it requiring that I get up and miss various parts).
My kids, though, like me to watch them play video games. So I do. Sorta. Blogging at the same time about how much I dislike watching them play video games. Of course, I have to stop typing repeatedly to help them fix the Xbox or whatev....like just now. This is so their daddy's area of expertise, and I generally tell them to do it with him. But some days, I'm not so lucky.
*I miss waking up gradually, especially now that I am stepping more firmly into middle age. I miss stretching my limbs, yawning, laying in the half-wakefulness of the morning. Being awoken from a dead sleep at 6:00 am every morning and having to get up immediately, tripping down the steps in a fog, is not cool.
*Nutsedge grass sucks.
*I am really, really glad I have 3 children because it makes me really, really done with whatever phase we've just finished. It is a nice feeling....to not linger with sentimental weepiness about not ever having another baby. And I don't want a puppy either.
*My arm muscles look really quite good since my friends and I switched from at-home bootcamp to at-the-gym bootcamp. I'd be lying if I said I don't make muscle poses in the bathroom mirror.
*Having children means constantly hemorrhaging money. And while I am glad that we have the funds to cover things, it still sucks to have to take chunks of that hard-saved money and pay for bills. I don't have to worry how I will pay bills, but I do worry about how long it will take me to recoup savings.
