Random Thoughts...

I was looking for some inspiration for today, when I came across this:



I have plenty of random thoughts, especially on Tuesdays :), so I thought I'd give it a try.  Here goes:

What exactly is a "New Age Beverage?"

Why are people so opposed to child leashes?  We strap kids into car seats, we strap them into strollers, we strap them into grocery carts.  A restrained child = a somewhat relaxed parent.  I know it reminds us of taking the dogs for a walk, but really, what's the harm?  I'm not suggesting children remain on leashes at the playground or at the beach, but it sure would come in handy at the zoo, and the post office, and the grocery store, and ....We run ourselves ragged because we don't want to appear cruel.  But walking actually provides more freedom than the stroller we will stuff them in when we've had ENOUGH of the touching, and the running, and the destruction, and the spinning, and the disappearing.  Just sayin'.

I'm not sure why I keep letting my kids eat in the car:

I duck tape my child's diaper before every nap and bedtime.  I have PTSD.  TOO many poopy clean up jobs to count.

A cup of white vinegar in your laundry helps take away the musty smell of clothing and dish rags. In case you didn't know...I use it with every load.

I far too often leave important things in random places and then can't remember where that random place was...like the 100 stamps I bought today.  grrr...

I need to get off of here and go run on the treadmill.  While I run, I listen to Lady Gaga and watch the news  at full volume, both at the same time.  Drives the whole family nuts.  Here I go.
