Occasionally, I get a little time to just sit back and think. I'll reflect on the day that's just ended. Or I'll sit there and think about stupid stuff, which distracts me from the endless list making that's been going on in my head lately. I, like anyone else, try to see the forest before the trees, but the stupid stuff seems to be taking up a lot of my time and energy and it makes me shake my head in wonder.
For example:
Why is it, when there are children living in the house, seemingly innocuous items like a toilet paper holder (the rolly thing) just up and disappear? And disappear again, after I've replaced it (twice)?
Why, after telling the dog to get off the couch, she has the unmitigated nerve to bark at me like it's all my fault and then rolls over and goes to sleep?
Why do only the most unbelievably stupid songs get stuck in my head? (Bella, Bella, Bella Dancerella..)
And while I'm at it, why don't I just smash the Power Puff Girls DVD into little bitty pieces and tell the kids that I have no idea where it is?
Here's one. Why, when I'm thinking about something really serious, Gerry will voice my thoughts like he's just developed telepathy, but when I try to talk to him about something serious, he gets a blank look and makes like he has no idea what I'm talking about? (Must be a guy defense mechanism)
Maybe a reader or two can help me out.

I have to admit I've been walking around all day singing "Grease Lightening" in my head.
Smash that CD! It's good therapy. :)
As for deciphering men, I have no idea.
Oh btw, I'm still laughing about your spider comment. I can picture it pausing in mid-air to look at you with it's 8 little eyes. Bleagh
If you have boys, I can tell you this: Those toilet paper holder things? they have springs inside and if you work it right you can get them to shoot across the room. Just sayin.
