All day long I tuck little thoughts away in my head to write about in the evening.
And then in the evening I seem to lose access to my brain.
Even if I leave myself little notes throughout the day, by evening they mean nothing to me. Nothing.
It isn't that I really have all that much on my mind anymore, because I do not.
Actually today was a pretty terrific day.
I watched Kado while his mom took the 'big kids' to doctor's appointments.
We had a wonderful time together. I read him his favorite story about 100 times (Snuggle Puppy), sang his favorite song with him about 20 times (Baa Baa Black Sheep) and pretended not to know what he was saying when he asked for his baba about 120 times.
The two of us played the piano, catapulted Fisher Price Little People into the air, and colored - three things we really enjoy doing together.
And then he got tired. I wanted to keep him awake, but he asked for his bunny, which NEVER leaves the crib so I know very well that what he really needs is sleep.
THGGM got out of work at 2:00 today which meant we could get to our favorite Chinese restaurant while it was still lunch-time prices.
Sometimes I find it a bit difficult to transition from coloring, singing Baa Baa Black Sheep, and watching Caillou to carrying on any sort of meaningful conversation with someone who has been with adults all day. Especially when I'm still sort of in a dream like state of wondering what "the little boy who lives down the lane" is going to do with a full bag of wool. Or, if Caillou has alopecia and I just haven't yet seen the episode where this is explained. And, if Kado is green/blue color blind since those are the only two colors he cannot seem to distinguish.
Lately when we go out for Chinese, my fortune cookie has been rather terse. I'm not sure if I should be concerned, but THGGM gets these really positive and uplifting quotes in his and mine sound like what you would tell someone you didn't really like very much.
Of course, lunch is never complete without a stop at the local thrift store. It was looking like it was also THGGM's day to find good deals, but then I spotted something I have been looking for. A "Bucky" brand buckwheat pillow. I've heard that they are woooonderful to use during a migraine. I do have a variety of pillows that I have made, but still wanted to try out the buckwheat kind. It's a nice "U" shaped pillow with a washable cover. The one I found was $1.50. This makes me happy. Not that I go around anticipating migraines or anything, but I do like to be prepared.
Hmm. I know I DID find a few more things, and once I remember just what they are I'll add them to my Simply Thrift blog.
Well. I must hurry off to bed. It's reading time.

Your Randomness makes me smile...

I have been watching my grandchildren while their mommy works...so can relate to things you are talking about.
Take care,
Nancy (Mommy 2)
yes, I know this conundrum of tucking thoughts away to write about later. Then later comes and I'm at soccer, or I can't remember the flow of the thoughts, or it just sounds plain stupid to me.
I love your simply thrift blog. If I didn't already have three blogs that I'm not keeping up with, I'd add a fourth. But that would just be copy-cattish, wouldn't it??
When you read your fortune, always add: "in bed" after whatever it says. That'll turn any fortune into something inspired.
My brain is on hiatus. I come it comes back someday.
Oh, man. I could've written this one myself. I was in a real grump-funk a couple weekends ago. Dear Hubby knew better than to do anything but let me alone. This weekend he commented on how I was in a much better mood. He said I'd been very quiet the weekend before. I had been. I told him since my 'orbit' consists of the grandboys during the day all week without getting out to shop or do much of anything...my world is full of Caillou and favorites of this, favorites of that. I told him I didn't have any fresh conversation content in my brain, haha! And we did some thrifting this weekend. He found several nice cotton shirts to wear to Portland for camp meeting at the end of June. I found some books, ones I read and loved a long time ago and figured there'd been enough time passed that I would probably love them all over again. And I found a gorgeous teddy bear for Coopy to have here. Sometimes he wants his Baby Bear which stays at his house. When he got Teddy Bear this morning he hugged it to his chest, his eyes wide and shining, and told me, "OOOooooh, Grandma, I LOVE him. Thank you!" I have a feeling he'll be a good substitute for Baby Bear when the time comes.
