You know sometimes it's amazing how the mind works... I can lay w/the boys in the grass and look at clouds and not see a friggin shape if my life depended on it - but today driving up 295 North, headed home, the big puffy fluffs of cotton were showing me puppies wrestling, a thumbs up and someone sleeping on their back w/their mouth agape, a whale and tons of other shapes... And where were the boys??? OUT COLD! And I am driving so I can't really stare at the clouds for very long now can I?? Of course that is JUST my luck to have something happen on just such a time schedule....
Or take my memory or lack thereof - you know I can't remember if we consummated the marriage on the day we got married??? Man did this piss off E!!! I can remember vividly so many details of the day of and day before but I can't remember if I had sex!! (FYI I am told we did if you are wondering)
And I can tell ya quite a bit about 9/11, or my first day working for the government back in Dec 88, the weekend I learned to tie my shoes when I was oh about 7 - but I can't remember my own wedding night or for that matter can I tell you where I was and what I was doing when the Challenger blew up or other such historical moments btwn the 80s and now - things most people can tell you the exact details of their day on are complete blanks to me... Too many useless pieces of info in my brain perhaps or maybe it's a genetic flaw... Hey! Could I have early onset alzheimers ya think?? I hear it starts in the 30s... One just never knows do they!
And do you ever wonder where other people are going or what they are talking about when you pass them on the highway?? Do you look to see if you know them??? Just random thoughts in my brain tonight....
My children absolutely AMAZE me w/the amount of intellect and reasoning they have.... Today's glimpse - They have costumes they wear for dress up - Spiderman, Power Ranger, Motocross Racer, Star Wars something or other... Well of course the FAV one is Spiderman and they usually BOTH wanna wear it at same time (YES I KNOW we should have TWO but when we purchased them each wanted a particular one - I TRIED to tell them to both get the Spiderman one!)... Somehow Deven managed to con Dilen out of it today (umm yeah right somehow -Deven has this skill down to a science I swear!) so he had it on under his clothes all day (DON"T ASK! but Dilen wore his Wildforce Power Rangers one too!) so on the way home Dilen is working hard on convincing Deven to give it back so he can wear it... "Hey Deven I got an idea, how about we share and take turns, you go first and I'll go second, ok?" I can only hope it worked - E hasn't called about their fighting so perhaps it became a done deal... BTW I ALSO learned my children can totally strip out of shirt and pants down to previously referenced costumes in less then 5 min without ever removing thier seatbelts!!! David Letterman here we come!!! Til next time...
